[devout ridge]

[vocal peak]

What's the probability

[jagged panther]

not too high

apparently

[vocal peak]

any %ces?

[jagged panther]

from what ppl are saying here

[frozen badger]

3 people get in

[jagged panther]

140 / ~6k

is the highest

[nocturne niche]

it’s not 3

[frozen badger]

then how many

its just to fill the spots

[nocturne niche]

140 apparently

[jagged panther]

it will vary tbh

depends on CMU's yield this year

it might be 0

[frozen badger]

not 140 for alls chools

[jagged panther]

it could be higher than 140

[jagged panther]

yeah it's probably like 1 or 2 for SCS lol

[nocturne niche]

well scs is different lol

[frozen badger]

obv

[jagged panther]

true

[nocturne niche]

yield on scs is probably crazy

[jagged panther]

alas

I got wled for scs

no chance for me

[devout ridge]

[frozen badger]

[nocturne niche]

[plucky swift]

[frozen badger]

no one knows bru

[devout ridge]

low

[jagged panther]

I mean what you said makews sense

[devout ridge]

[frozen badger]

yeah good

[jagged panther]

lmao

[frozen badger]

[jagged panther]

[frozen badger]

[jagged panther]

ohh ok

tysm

[vocal peak]

does getting WL from CMU mean i am atleast compettive ?

[nocturne niche]

give yourself some credit

[jagged panther]

ig yeah?

[tender trail]

Does anyone know what the AR this year was

[hexed jetty]

brej CMU brej

[hearty quartz]

damn got waitlisted brah

[nocturne niche]

no idea but I would assume around 15 for rd

[jagged panther]

overall??

[tender trail]

Yeah

[jagged panther]

that seems a little high right

[nocturne niche]

nah

[tender trail]

I think overall was lower last year

I think it was like 12 overall

[nocturne niche]

rly?

[jagged panther]

last year it was 11 percent

rd

I think

and for SCS it was about 3-4%

between that

sry i'm a cs kid that's why I onlly know scs

[warm trail]

Nope we’re all spamming this chat for absolutely no reason

[nocturne niche]

there’s no way it’s like 10%

[jagged panther]

what is?

[nocturne niche]

rd acceptance rate

[frozen badger]

overall admit rate

[jagged panther]

oh

[frozen badger]

ed doesnt really matter

[jagged panther]

nah I wouldn't be surprised

[hearty quartz]

u only pay the 800 once u get in off waitlist right

[jagged panther]

if rd were about 10%

[tender trail]

It had a 13.5% overall last year

13% RD

[frozen badger]

yeah im pretty sure

[warm trail]

You don’t have to pay shit no?

[frozen badger]

wish u did

[tender trail]

You have to pay money to go on the waitlist?

[hearty quartz]

fuckkk waitlist is so sad

[warm trail]

What’s stopping you from doing the priority waitlist, getting in, and choosing another school

[frozen badger]

technically

[hearty quartz]

woke up at 6 am for this

[frozen badger]

nothing really

[nocturne niche]

I would gladly give my shit instead of 800

[jagged panther]

nothing

idts

at least

[astral wagon]

Is the 800 like stolen from u or does it go into ur payements for tuition and stuff?

[jagged panther]

probably stolen lol

[frozen badger]

stolen

[warm trail]

I think it just tarnishes hs reputations but idk

[frozen badger]

yeah

[astral wagon]

Bruh

[hearty quartz]

def stolen

[frozen badger]

its priority waitlist fee

[hearty quartz]

they need bread

[tender trail]

CMU had a 0.66% waitlist AR last year

[frozen badger]

for overall

[dapper pelican]

wait quesrion

[tender trail]

They waitlisted 9k last year also

[frozen badger]

for scs if this is true

[dapper pelican]

so this is from last yr

[frozen badger]

you will be among the first
students admitted to Carnegie Mellon from the waiting list.

[dapper pelican]

priority waitlist people get an answer from may5-13

when’s the notification date range for regular waiting list

june 1- ?

[frozen badger]

yeah june 1st

[hearty quartz]

didnt everyone get pritority waiting list??

[tender trail]

Are the priority waitlist people the more qualified waitlist people

[jagged panther]

everyone got it

it doesn't mean anything

[frozen badger]

yeah

it doesnt mean anythig

but look

[jagged panther]

it's literally just to separate the ppl with $$ from those without

[frozen badger]

you will be among the first
students admitted to Carnegie Mellon from the waiting list.

[jagged panther]

bc with priority WL you have to pay the deposit ow

I think

[frozen badger]

idk

everyone has this sentence right?

you will be among the first
students admitted to Carnegie Mellon from the waiting list.

[jagged panther]

yes

[tender trail]

Is CMU considered a T20?

[jagged panther]

cmu is a T1 for CS

[frozen badger]

yeah cmu is best cs

[tender trail]

I applied for math

[jagged panther]

oh idk then

[hearty quartz]

they prolly do rank ppl on waitling list then lmao

[frozen badger]

yeah

[hearty quartz]

bc how they gna give the decisions by may 9

[frozen badger]

in terms of money

[hearty quartz]

thats so soon

[dapper pelican]

they’re weird asf to be doing 2 waiting lists

[astral wagon]

I called it

[dapper pelican]

i’ve never seen that

[hearty quartz]

ion think there is 2 waiting lists

[hearty quartz]

what major

[frozen badger]

its just opt in

[astral wagon]

Ece

[frozen badger]

bro @hearty quartz ur making a fool out of urself

put the ' before the number

[untold steeple]

Nice rejection

[tender trail]

They don’t

[hearty quartz]

my bad lol

[tender trail]

They reevaluate it

[frozen badger]

how would they not

[dapper pelican]

they also sometimes need aware when taking ppl off the waitlist lmal

i’m totally not getting it

[frozen badger]

its def need aware

extra profit is always good

[tender trail]

Because they reevaluate it after may 1

[frozen badger]

i dont think they reevaluate everyones app

[tender trail]

Yeah a lot of need blind schools are need aware for waitlists I think

[tender trail]

That’s what they say they do

[frozen badger]

i think they reevaluate which candidate will be best for the university

diversity, money, whatever

[tender trail]

Is there an admitted students day

[elfin crypt]

how hard is it to transfer to scs from another department

[elfin crypt]

yeah

[frozen badger]

easy probs

[tender trail]

Hard

[lyric nova]

Bruh

[frozen badger]

scs is the best

[lyric nova]

Def stolen

[elfin crypt]

i heard the students in scs want to die

lol

[tender trail]

Completely transferring is hard but it’s easier to do an additional major I think

[lyric nova]

I heard it’s over exaggerated @elfin crypt

[elfin crypt]

really

[jagged panther]

tbh

[lyric nova]

Freshman year is def the hardest

[jagged panther]

who doesn't want to die

but at least at SCS

[lyric nova]

From what my friend does it

[jagged panther]

you wanna die for 4 years

[elfin crypt]

but its pittsburg though

[jagged panther]

aand then you get a good degree

[elfin crypt]

dead city sorta

[astral wagon]

Its a legit question i mean thats like a ps5 right there.

[dapper pelican]

nah

[lyric nova]

Pitt

Haha

[elfin crypt]

how is pittsburg not a dead city

[dapper pelican]

the campus is depressinf

[spare portal]

[lyric nova]

[nocturne storm]

Congrats!

[ebon pike]

When did cmu come out?

[jagged panther]

6 am

pst

[frozen badger]

9est

[jagged panther]

so 46 mins ago

[nocturne storm]

It's to have a full class in case they fuck up the yield

[crimson nest]

does everyone get "priority" waiting list

[jagged panther]

yes

[hearty quartz]

what do y’all think waitlist rate was

[jagged panther]

btw

[nocturne storm]

Yes it's an option

[jagged panther]

this is from 2020-2021

aka a more normal year

[nocturne storm]

Imo it's the only option

[jagged panther]

2021-2022 was anomalous

if you look at the yield rate

it jumped by like 9%

all of a sudden

[nocturne storm]

That was because all other top colleges accepted less because they had so many people defer a year due to covid iirc

[sick crag]

man wtf i did not get priority wait list 💀💀

[hearty quartz]

send ss of letter

[jagged panther]

oh

[hearty quartz]

i don’t think u got waitlist at all

[blissful nebula]

that’s just a rejection 😭

[brittle stream]

that's just rejection

[hearty quartz]

😭😭😭

[jagged panther]

yeah ^^

[sick crag]

ngl i aint even read the conversation i just saw “everyone gets priority waitlist” 💀

[fair vessel]

is priority waitlist rare

[hearty quartz]

bruh cmu waitlist is high i thought it was impressive to get waitlisted 💀💀

[nocturne storm]

It's probably the only wait-list with any chance to get in

[jagged panther]

it's probably just this server

[ember obsidian]

Cmu accepted 11% last year

Wl is impressive

[earnest timber]

Got into SCS

Imma sleep now finally

[hearty quartz]

sheeeee

[crimson nest]

Around 20%

[hearty quartz]

[willow coral]

[jagged panther]

the image I sent

[frozen badger]

its bottom 25th percentile for cmu

[hearty quartz]

what was ur sat

[jagged panther]

^^2020-2021 (last non anomalous year)

[tulip moon]

1560 (800 math)

[dusky nimbus]

idk why i even see the button if i got WL

[mild pike]

if this is for all of CMU, then for CS its prob a lot less

[hearty quartz]

sat def matters a lot lol

[jagged panther]

yep

probably only 1-2 ppl for scs

[frozen badger]

25th percentile at scs is 1570

[tulip moon]

What’s the rd acceptance rate for cs

[jagged panther]

~3%

[remote mountain]

I thought my sat was Gud enough for telpper

Idk

[tulip moon]

Damn

[jagged panther]

your ECs and essays matter more

at this level

sat and GPA only get your foot int he door

[tulip moon]

Yeah definitely

[frozen badger]

its complete random

[tulip moon]

Literally everyone has perfect gpa and sat at that level

[jagged panther]

yea

[frozen badger]

well clearly not the case for everyone

[hearty quartz]

what’s ur sat

[remote mountain]

Is there a non priority waitlist

[jagged panther]

there is

[frozen badger]

its not good enough for Scs

[remote mountain]

There’s no seperate data right

[hearty quartz]

mmm

[jagged panther]

for the non priority WL you do not pay the deposit until you are admitted

[jagged panther]

nope

[frozen badger]

@hearty quartz u didnt submit a 1480 right?

[hearty quartz]

same for priority tho

[hearty quartz]

no

[frozen badger]

lmao

[jagged panther]

nope i'm pretty sure you pay upfront for priority

[frozen badger]

cuz its like 100 points lower than the median

[remote mountain]

Priority the same ye u j have to pay within 72 hrs

[jagged panther]

even f you aren't accepted

[jagged panther]

oh k

[hearty quartz]

i had zero chance w 1480 so i ain’t submit

[spiral laurel]

is priority like

commitment

[hearty quartz]

surprised i even got WL

[frozen badger]

no

[spiral laurel]

like u cant withdraw if u get accepted

[limber mauve]

wait so is priority binding or is it just the deposit

[jagged panther]

just the deposit

if you wanna go

[hearty quartz]

priority means u have to pay within 3 days

[jagged panther]

not binding

[remote mountain]

U still can

[hearty quartz]

of getting accepted

[spiral laurel]

last year 25% of applicants got wled

oh

wait

ur telling me we pay them $800

[limber mauve]

ok i’ll prob just do it because i truly have nowhere rn

[frozen badger]

if u get in

[spiral laurel]

and we dont get it back if rejected

[hearty quartz]

if u get in u pay

u don’t pay before

[frozen badger]

yeah

[spiral laurel]

oh

[hearty quartz]

but u have to make ur decision in 72 hours

[frozen badger]

and it goes to waste

[spiral laurel]

oh

thats eas

easy

bet

[frozen badger]

so like

[remote mountain]

Did anyone fill out the waitlist form

[hexed jetty]

i think i will decide if i opt in to priority or not after ivy day and stanny

[spiral laurel]

they only admitted like 50 students

[frozen badger]

theres no point in doing priority if u dont have the 800

[remote mountain]

Or not open

[spiral laurel]

from the wl last year

[spiral laurel]

opens apr 7

[hearty quartz]

u can’t

it opens later

[frozen badger]

last year was gap year

[hearty quartz]

[remote mountain]

Ohh

💀

[spiral laurel]

[jagged panther]

[spiral laurel]

why

[jagged panther]

it jumped 9% suddenly

[hearty quartz]

it’s not even worth doun the waitlist shi

[jagged panther]

that was

an anomaly year

the yield rate was way higher

than usual

[earnest timber]

My essays were very straightforward

[jagged panther]

that's a good thing

[limber mauve]

i think my personal was a bit cryptic

[earnest timber]

I didn’t have any fancy stuff I literally just started with a thesis for a few of them

[limber mauve]

i must be too quiet mysterious and nerdy for them🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[remote mountain]

Does y’all’s letter give u rejections for both majors?

[jagged panther]

well in any event

[frozen badger]

whats ur race

[remote mountain]

I got rejected to business and let’s and sciences

[jagged panther]

there was something special abt you

[hearty quartz]

i got WL comp sci and rejected engineering

[jagged panther]

[tribal hamlet]

wait but if they tell me a decsion my may 9 isnt that too late?

[remote mountain]

Or is there a non priority too fr

[limber mauve]

nah fr they added the word priority to make us feel special

[spiral laurel]

only if you put it in

[edgy sonnet]

they want their $800 bag within 72h

[hearty quartz]

ur gna have to back out

[spiral laurel]

no

[remote mountain]

[limber mauve]

yeah there is

[remote mountain]

Oh

Ok

[hearty quartz]

of a college u committed too

[spiral laurel]

when u get the form its priority or non

[remote mountain]

Yay I’m a little special or sm

[wispy orbit]

wtf is the point of it if they only accept like 35 ppl out of 8000 on an average waitlist 💀

[crimson nest]

Do you get deposit back?

[spiral laurel]

check pins.

[limber mauve]

you deposit i think if you get in after waitlist

[tribal hamlet]

do u guys recommend doing to waitlist thing or nah? cuz i wld want my decision before may 1 😭

[spiral laurel]

no you only pay if ur accepted

u dont pay to be put on priority

[hidden vapor]

didn't you get in, why do you care about waitlist semantics 😭

[spiral laurel]

you can sit on it and withdraw before the decision

[limber mauve]

imagine if all waitlists had a deposit to join💀💀

[spiral laurel]

you can withdraw on apr 30

[wispy orbit]

oh shit ok it’s not that bad then

[edgy sonnet]

that's how waitlist works lmao it's always after may 1

[remote mountain]

That would make cmu hella bank tho

[spiral laurel]

yeah last yr was apparently an anomaly

[remote mountain]

Ngl

[limber mauve]

wait so i can join priority for now then leave after ivy day or something?

[gaunt atlas]

dang how hard is it to get off of priority waiting list

[spiral laurel]

no
it opens on apr 7

💀

[crimson nest]

I mean they are farming money from desperate kids 😭

[spiral laurel]

😭

[remote mountain]

Sigh

[limber mauve]

oh okay i have no reading comprehension sorry

[spiral laurel]

no you PAY AFTER ACCEPTANCe

omg

😭

[limber mauve]

this why my reading sat sucks💋💋💋

[tribal hamlet]

ngl this whole waitling list stuff is so confusing

[vocal peak]

GUYS

its selection bias in this server

[limber mauve]

jaelyn teaching us how to read

[vocal peak]

I just got to know a lot of people

[hearty quartz]

bro sm ppl got waitlisted

[vocal peak]

who got rejected

[limber mauve]

honestly maybe we all got waitlisted because we can’t understand a simple paragraph

[gaunt atlas]

priority?

[limber mauve]

myself included but

[crimson nest]

I thought you have to pay deposit to accept waitlist place

[spiral laurel]

no

[crimson nest]

Lol

[gaunt atlas]

is it hard to get off of priority

[hidden vapor]

wait, why was my message removed

[hearty quartz]

everyone got priority

[spiral laurel]

yes

[vocal peak]

@spiral laurel So i have a question

[edgy sonnet]

yes

[spiral laurel]

hi

[vocal peak]

All colleges say you need to decide before/on May 1

[hearty quartz]

and it’s nearly impossible to get off WL at CMU

[hidden vapor]

@/mods (if it wasn't a bot that deleted it)

[vocal peak]

if CMU notifies before May 9

[spiral laurel]

not binding

[vocal peak]

How does that work?

[spiral laurel]

just commitment

[vocal peak]

ah

[spiral laurel]

thats how all waitlists function

[vocal peak]

Alright

[spiral laurel]

your may 1 decision isnt binding

unless ur ed

[vocal peak]

thanks <3

[gaunt atlas]

when is binding the

like making it official

the date for it

[spiral laurel]

when you go to the school

[tribal hamlet]

wait im so confused

[spiral laurel]

lol

some waitlists stay open until august

[limber mauve]

is it that everyone is offered priority or is it just everyone here because the letter made it seem like it was exclusive

[hearty quartz]

abt what

[gaunt atlas]

wait so the committed doesn't mean u have to go?

[tribal hamlet]

by may 1 wouldnt i have binded to a diff school?

[spiral laurel]

everyone is offered yeah

[vocal peak]

normal WL CMU is June 💀

[spiral laurel]

not binding.

[gaunt atlas]

idk

[hearty quartz]

it’s not exclusive lol

[spiral laurel]

its just commitment

[tribal hamlet]

but dont u pay a deposit and sign contracts and stuff

[hearty quartz]

everyone that got WL Got it

[limber mauve]

i know someone that got into pomona in early august off waitlist

[spiral laurel]

yeah but u can withdraw

[edgy sonnet]

you can still withdraw

[hearty quartz]

they just gna make it seem special so u pay em $800🤣🤣

[spiral laurel]

its not binding.

[tribal hamlet]

ohhhh wtffff

i didnt know thatttt

[spiral laurel]

you just lose the money for the deposit

i think

[limber mauve]

this might have to be pinned

[hearty quartz]

we r all clear that we only pay the $800 if we get in right

[spiral laurel]

cuz it was insensitive, read rule 1

[vocal peak]

also @spiral laurel, I got rejected UNC, JHU, UWash but got WL on CMU and UCLA, got into Maryland, does this indicate that my application is atleast compt? I really would want UCB

[spiral laurel]

lmfao flashbacks to middle school english reading comprehension

[spiral laurel]

admissions r very random and vary school by school

[edgy sonnet]

the point of waitlist is to fill spots of the class that are open bc admitted students dont commit... and they commit by may 1 so naturally waitlist decisions are AFTER may 1 because they start looking at the open spots left then

[crimson nest]

Yeah competitive

[hidden vapor]

meant it because CMU wl is legit impossible to get off = don't have any hopes at all ☠️

[spiral laurel]

many students have gotten reject/wled ass schools and accepted to top ones

[spiral laurel]

its like 20% for priority wl 😭

its not impossible

[vocal peak]

bruh

[limber mauve]

this is me but i got rejected ucla

[hearty quartz]

no it’s not 💀💀💀💀

[vocal peak]

see pin

[hearty quartz]

it’s like 8%

[vocal peak]

its 8%

[spiral laurel]

its 10% of ppl accepted off the wl

and if half of the applicants on the wl were priority

then its 20%

of priority

[remote mountain]

So priority is not everyone den

[spiral laurel]

cuz math

[remote mountain]

Ic

Makes sense

[hearty quartz]

bruh

[spiral laurel]

you choose.

[vocal peak]

Wait

so i have a question

[remote mountain]

The math is mathin

[hearty quartz]

priority is everyone what

[vocal peak]

can't everyone just opt for priority ?

[hearty quartz]

^

[vocal peak]

if they get the offer to

[spiral laurel]

yeah

but lots dont

[vocal peak]

WTF

[hearty quartz]

so what’s the difference

[spiral laurel]

cuz they have another WL they like more i guess

[vocal peak]

$800

[spiral laurel]

that they might hear back after the 27 hrs

72*

dont want to risk it

[vocal peak]

I see

I think priority is for people who have CMU #1 chocie

which makes sense

because you are basically paying $800

[tribal hamlet]

wait so u join the WL, accept to another school, and then wait for ur cmu decision?? am i understand correctly

[remote mountain]

U only pay 800 if u in 💀

[spiral laurel]

if i do get in off priority for cmu before my uchi decision, (ofc depending on ivy day), id likely deny cmu

[remote mountain]

It’s not for a waitlist spot

[vocal peak]

yeah

that's what I meant

[spiral laurel]

i prefer uchi but im willing to reject cmu

for it

[remote mountain]

Yea so dats j a deposit

[spiral laurel]

some people arent

[remote mountain]

If u off waitlist u can always say no

[spiral laurel]

yeah

[vocal peak]

wait up.

I have a question.

[spiral laurel]

mhm, priority isnt binding

[vocal peak]

Is there any differnece in terms of chances by choosing priority?

[spiral laurel]

priority is looked at first

[remote mountain]

Can priority come back before may whatever or na

[spiral laurel]

when choosing

[spiral laurel]

pinned.

[hearty quartz]

no

[grave widget]

Alr waitlist

[vocal peak]

So there is an artificial increase in chance

atleast would seem like that

Also can't people opt for waitlist AFTER ivy decisions?

[remote mountain]

Thanks

Technically u can ye on da last day

[vocal peak]
