#CMU (2022-2023)

yeah ^^
bc I did a lot of stuff since the app
that might push my app over the edge idk
same
^ i am also pondering in this inquiry
completely baseless but I would guess they don't read them until may since they don't know if there are even any waitlist spots open yet
so just to confirm, all we do to get on waitlist is just check the box??
or do we need to do the loci as well?
just check the box yes
okayy bet thanks!
they wont start reading them until after commit deadline
but i'd submit once you're done since its better not to think of it
guys idk what to write in my updates
do i make it a bulleted list?
or is it supposed to be letter format
I'd say treating it as similar to an email is a good idea
concision and readability is key
is there a discord for CMU?
yes
where to access it
for ppl doing the waitlist update form, are you guys just writing about new activities/awards, or are you treating it like an LOCI also talking about why CMU is a good fit and stuff?
i just did nee activities
new
new activities
i feel like they would of created a loci box instead of just a update form if they wanted a loci
GUYS DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT, GO TO CMU
ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE FROM NJ
Felpix needs to get off the waitlist fr
On your application portal
oh is it in the FAQ
did anyone else get a financial aid offer while on the waitlist..? im confused
yeah everyone does
i think it helps a lot if you would consider being put on priority waitlist
that way finances wouldnt be a factor in going to cmu if you were admitted
where are fin aid offers on the portal
itll be right next to ur admission letter
@acoustic aspen deleted because while it's a funny troll, I don't want to risk any chance of someone falling for it
What did he say?
if you can dm me
Curious
I'll put it here then delete
Aight got it
Doubtful that anyone would ever fall for it but it's serious enough implications that I think it's better to not just leave there
subtle flex
💀
Flexing his height too
Not flex enough, bro doesn’t have the pros
^
hi i didn’t apply here but if u have questions about living in pittsburgh i have answers (i do this in the pitt thread)
How many boba places have you gone to
i don’t really drink boba but there are a bunch around
i’m cheap boba costs money
there are some in oakland and a ton in squirrel hill
Do you feel safe walking around past like 7pm
yeah it’s chill
I am pretty sure people have mostly agreed that Tsaocaa is the best option for the CMU community
writing that down hahahaha
i’m ngl the only boba i ever got here was lulus but they closed :(
not related to anything but i STRONGLY recommend going to waffallonia i think the schenley plaza one closed but the squirrel hill one is close enough
Noted 
i have a waffallonia gift cert and i still need to use it i should go one of these days now that it's light in the evenings again
Waiting for waitlist results is sm fun
when are they meant to be out?
By may 9th??? Ig but I don’t think they gonna accept too much
cmu waitlist is like a soft rejection
yea
It sucks
cause I want to just be sure and even though I’m committed there’s always that door with the slightest opening that gives you hope.
Like I’m going to a top 29 school, (Uflorida), which has a great business program, but the one caveat is the out of state cost and I’ll end up in like 100k+ debt, whereas with most of the schools I’ve been waitlisted too are private and would give great aid, but the chances are just so minimal and probably based on demographics that I am way to basic to fit, so I just don’t know
This entire process just sucked ngl
I'm not sure demographics are that considered -- at least I don't fit any of the under-represented groups
the actual number of waitlists for cmu taken off vary a lot year-to-year and is dependent entirely on the college
Everything has been going down every year
SCS male to female ratio is defn considered. There would be more variance year to year otherwise
Like the AR?
Last year yield was higher than average
So they had to admit less people
define 7%?
Like would that be like from 10% to 9.3 or like from 10% to 3% (using random numbers here)
clickbait titles lol
did anyone else on the waitlist get an email from cmu
"Each college at Carnegie Mellon decides how many additional students to admit based on their individual enrollment goals and the number of enrollment replies they receive by May 1.
Starting May 3, if space is available in their program, we’ll begin contacting applicants on our Priority Waiting List whom we've selected for admission. If space isn’t available in their chosen college or program, we’ll notify students that their college isn’t extending offers of admission to applicants on our Waiting List this year. Once we've filled our class, we’ll notify all remaining students that we’ve completed the process. We appreciate your patience if you don't hear from us on May 5, as we'll continue to contact students after that date."
I think everyone who chose to be on waitlist got this I got this yesterday
is waitlist binding???
like if i already accepted somewhere else but wanna see what happens can i stay? or will i have to enroll in cmu if i get off the waitlist?
For those writing CMU LOCI, how many words do you recommend?
they don’t accept LOCI better not bother them
i thought they have a place to enter some letter after accepting place on waitlist
yeah but that’s for new/additional information ig
What additional information or updates would you like Carnegie Mellon to consider?
it is binding
when i applied i did my research, i remember reading cmu saying if u opt into the priority waitlist and get admitted, u must attend
oh nvm then
its not but
hmm what did you submit in LOCI/additional information?
people would obvi choose priority then
its not binding my bad
i got rejected so i am not the best source of info
thank you! gl on cmu!
thanks
Nope you just get very little time
is there a letter to write for CMU, if yes, is there a word limit?
yeah they give you 72 hours to commit
well at most its 1 week for regular waitlist so 3 days not that bad
Just the amount of activity on this channel regarding the waitlist makes me worried that it’s doomed
Like every other channel I see admissions chat is dead
We all praying
cmu
how's that? did cmu give you scholarship?
They gave me 30k so it comes out to 50k. Tech gave me nothing so it comes out to 50k
Cmu is actually maybe a band cheaper
major?
Cmu
Cmu for life
has anyone gotten accepted off the priority waitlist?
they said it starts 3rd i think
Yeah
cds usually doesnt come out until the fall i think
If you check the enrollment it’s the old data still it’s not updated
It won’t come out until next spring
They just release fall 2022 cds
Fall 2023 next spring
Same
Praying one of these waitlists works out because the school I’m committed to currently is out of state and I don’t want to go into 100k student loan debt
committed finally
congratulations - what other schools were you contemplating before?
mainly Duke
ah that must have been a tough choice but if you wanna do CS, CMU SCS rules
Probably not worth it
How good is it for your major
id recommend cc transfer if its a burden
Just looked at your other messages (UF) and I'm basically in the same position lol. though i committed to an instate safety hoping to transfer
It’s finance so UF is actually pretty good for it
When will CMU send out waitlist notifications
^^
may 9th i think
we will know today if there r any spots left
thats the last date for priority
they will roll out wl starting today
Nah they will start reviewing it on the same time, ur good
i mean they say that
but it is a bit questionable for them to review like 3000-5000 update forms in a couple of days
but maybe
they do say that when u submit doesn't matter
Anyone heard?
eh its more like the 500 waitlisted for a school
if it's space in a specific major/program that has to be filled might be further filtered
Soooo are they coming out today skfjs
ig not
true
bruh cmu pulling a fast one on us
they gonna hit us with the "lmao get trolled"
Hello gamers have there been any waitlist updates
No😟
Apparently someone from CC got off
Holding out for great success
If you guys could ping if any info comes out abt engineering lmk
yes pls ping for tepper and IS too🙏
only one person tho and it could be a troll
I talked to an admissions officer through live chat and they said it looks like they do plan on taking off the coe waitlist this year
What about cs 😭
what do you mean ? they are going to accept folks from CoE off the waitlist ?
Was I not clear enough?
Oops wrong tag
i thought the other way around. Thanks for clarifying
I am waitlisted at 8 schools so it is overwhelming
Well I mean yeah of course not everyone is getting in off the waitlist
does anyone know anything about cs waitlist
agree
Stand for your own interests and chat with them yourself.
LOL fair enough
That’s step 1
BRUH I NEARLY SHAT MYSELF
my friend got off the cs waitlist in the humanities college
do they need any financial aid?
dont think so but not completely sure
i thought CS was offered only by school of computer science
same here
He's probably just trying to gas it up by using "cs" as a buzzword
stat+ml moment
heard someone got off from tepper
any news about MCS?
Did anyone get off for coe?
MCS?
its 4pm, so probably all decisions for today already communicated?
at this point of time I think my hope for wl is 0
Anyone get off waitlist for ece?
Still waiting
I heard whispers of somebody getting off but idk
how did u talk to them?
Live Chat feature on their website
Is hope over bros
oh so those decisions only come out may 10th?
where was the chat thing
idk it shows up on the website
during the week
like 8-4
or something
wild
the bait goes crazy
nah fr 😭
Yeah, it was fun while it lasted
no more hopium
Currently closing the HOPIUM valve and opening the COPIUM valve
the copium did go a little crazy b
what is even going on
does anyone know about statML at cmu
What do you wanna know?
How the courseload is, what jobs people usually go into, and whether or not a double major/minor in CS would be easy/medium/hard
Hm I can probably answer some of those. So firstly CMU has three types of added. Minors, double majors and additional majors
I think minor is cs is pretty doable
Easiest obviously is a minor. But the difference between a major and additional major is that you need to take all the geneds for each and you get two degrees
double major and additional major is obviously harder
not only to get to do the course but also trying to stay afloat
cmu is hard, really hard
btw admiral r u at cmu rn?
So the main classes that you need to be concerned with for a minor is 15-150, 15-213 and 251/210
Yea
I see, you probs know better then
15-112 and 15-122 not needed then? that's pretty good, altho I don't think a minor will ultimately have much benefit in the long run
It's already baked into statml I'm pretty sure
😭😭😭
good luck 💀💀
I feel like a double/additional major is way more useful but also sm more effort
Yup just checked. It's in the core requirement
Yes
I mean just think about it
if you show up at CMU to recruit all the CS majors
you may as well read resumes from statml people as well
it would be ridiculous for them not to
and statml at CMU would probably get recruiting even if it didnt have such a top tier CS department
ty
what other options do you have? do you have pure cs admission elsewhere?
I see a junior tag so probably gathering info
I question your choice of statml if you want to do faang swe but yes
you know what bros
I’m staying on hopium
until cmu sends me a restraining order I will continue to hope
On the other hand, CMU has career fairs that are exclusive to CS and ECE students that FAANG also recruit at. You can't get in with a Statml major to these fairs even with a CS minor (I'm not sure about double/additional but I would assume you can get in)
ill be honest ive never gone to a career fair with the goal of getting a job :/
2 more days 😭
wait
does wl still end on the 9th?
i saw something abt 13th somewhere
Is hope over for Mellon college of sci lol
forum says they didnt let anyone in this week
Anyone else applying there
me and I don’t think they let anyone in last year too

The Hopium is crazy rn
are you a CS major
We probably all would’ve gotten in if this was 5 years ago.
Ya
what’s your weekly workload look like if you don’t mind me asking
I’m just trying to mentally prepare myself lol
It uh depends on the sem
Freshman fall was brutal though
50-55 hrs a week?
More for sure
I saw FCEs but idk how accurate they are
Damn
Under slightly imo
A 10 fce might in actuality take 12ish
And a 20+ fce usually takes 30-40
Well atleast everything goes up from freshman and sophomore years
if it was tough, do you think I should still take the optional great ideas course in the fall or no
Tbf lots of stuff was diff 5 years ago, for example Berkeley and UCLA acc rates for CS were double as well
I can’t imagine college apps 5 years from now lol
It’ll probably plateau because at some point increased demand will have to give to increased supply
Yeah it will plateau when shotgunning reaches its limits (maybe 30 colleges per person?) and then applications per school finally settle a bit
Until then, lower acc rates will cause people to apply to more places
Real asf bro
bro
CMU needs to stop offering WL to ppl
if they aint gonna take anyone off the WL
they toying with our hearts
how did u handle it..
40 isn't actually a lot of hours tbh
the freshman fall
the online chat person said that cmu started reviewing waitlist applications on Thursday
idk if that’s just for scs
but they said May 10
by then I think
so maybe they’ll start sending them out this week
Did waitlists come out yet
Bro wtf you’re going to stanford you have nothing to worry about
Who?
Asking for a friend
Is tepper out?
college confidential said a few decisions rolled out on friday
prolly cap af tho
YEAHHH
We should stop legit stop coming back here.
rip
on college confidential someone said they asked ab scs waitlist
and cmu said there would be no movement for cs
Tomorrow, it's all coming out!
Did you call them?
im guessing it's bc it says on cmu's faq
Oh gotcha lol
I received an update regarding SCS. It seems that there will be very little movement from the waitlist, with the number of new acceptances projected to be in the single digits for SCS
Hey theoretically if I’m on the priority waitlist and I get in, I could pay the admittedly big enrollment deposit and still be like legally able to opt out for another waitlist right?
i mean im j another hs senior lmao but im pretty sure yes
i think the reason they made the deposit so much is prolly to discourage ppl from committing just to save their spot while they take more time to make a decision
(since most places the deposit is only like ~200)
but otherwise it should operate the same as a normal enrollment deposit
Not that I expect to get on either but for example the only other school I’d rather go to would be georgetown and even though that has like a literal 0% chance for my school it supposedly comes out on the 15th.
But then again, I don’t expect to get off either waitlist.
anyone hear anything abt info sys or tepper?
I think usually priority waitlist means may 9th
what
@ocean phoenix
Literally this
If you did priority WL than you should hear back tommorrow
I asked an ao and they said CoE wants to start releasing decisions tomorrow and that will go on until like June 1st
bruh
THERE IS HOPE
HOPE
HOOOOOOOOOPE
LET’S GO ENGINEERS
I did live chat lol
from where
cs 😭
Curious too but sounds about right
i want sources 🗿
It’s not like they can drag you off to pittsburgh
they can
are you mcs?
i will personally drag you to pittsburgh. i will reach out my massively long arms to your undisclosed location and carry you here
Absolutely terrified rn
I hope what that guy said about CoE starting in earnest tomorrow is true
what time they releasing it by
im overseas so i need to know whether worth staying up for or not
Not sure, but I’ve heard someone say that they stop around 4PM EST every day which makes sense to me
Is anyone else’s admission portal missing the “now that I’m waitlisted” thing now?
yeah 
how joyous
Just called they said that the target date is today and they’re nearing the end of the process 😟
“Not to set expectations”
could you send a ss of your portal?
is the disappearance of the letter a good sign
you still have now that I’m waitlisted?
most people’s disappeared i think
yeah
I can’t send images in here for some reason
It’s just the same portal w/o the green box
Also dec letter is gone
According to last year’s cc people can’t see dec letters will receive a rejection letter soon😭
Anyone got off the waitlist?
my “now that im waitlisted” thing is still there
i got waitlisted to the ECE department
Wym by Dec letters
decision letter
I think it depends on department I’m mcs
Same. Is that good?
i think all engineering majors have it still so maybe it just means more decisions to come
I am waitlisted for SCS and my portal has no decision letter
also shows no decision either
rip looks like rejection
cmu needs to hurry up fr
chatted with ao and they said expect to see the results today 8 or 9pm
Ig it’s just means ready for rejections by 8pm today
Real
time zone?
est?
Well CMU is in EST
Bruh these AOs are something else
first they say may 3rd
then may 5th
now they say today 8 or 9 pm
earlier they said may 10th too
like bruh what is going on around here
also people keep saying all this different stuff is happening meanwhile I’m seeing no proof of any kind
like bro I am begging for sources at this point
and CC does not count
It probably just because people chatted with different AO and they didn’t come up with a same answer
bruh post a screenshot of the convo or something
you know we are unable to post picture in here
today is just the end of the priority waitlist, an AO in the chatbox said by June 1 all waitlist decisions will come out
bruh wdym i can post images
so not all waitlist decisions are out today? tf
Uh… but I can’t like I can’t click the plus sign ➕ on left side
oh maybe u haven't talked enough
You can also chat with an AO
where
search it up “cmu live chat”
it means you are not going to be rejected today or tomorrow
they are still contacting people on engineering so don’t lose hope
I don’t want to say this but they said there will be no additional activity for MCS
I’m also on MCS waitlist so sad
WHATTTT???????
bro wtf
yeah no additional wl movement for MCS they didn’t admit anyone from mcs wl last year too
LMFAOO
no cause why is this stressing me out and im happily committed to another school
Cmon baby cmuuuu
tepper 🤞
Ah so coe just hasn’t done it yet
Wait having no decision letter is a bad sign
Is this a good or bad sign
are you coe
I think the green box is less of a sign personally and more of a sign by college
cuz it seems like mcs and scs don’t have green boxes
but coe still does
I'm not engineering
I'm Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Science
ah idk abt that
seems like it might imply they’re still considering waitlists though, so hopefully good news!
Fuck so it's only engineering today though?
i have no idea, sorry
Let's goooo
I LOVE UNCERTAINTY I LOVE UNCERTAINTY I LOVE UNCERTAINTY!
For MCS kids: CMU has reached their enrollment goal and will not be recruiting from their waitlist for that school!
i just need em to send me the L so i can move on
rip scs ppl
any1 know if all waitlist coming out tn at 8
what does it look like
its basically a rejection letter
cmu scs came out got rejected
Did anyone even get off?
Yo ts aint coming out today ☠️
MCS rejected
I don’t think so!
did u get email
oh i just checked
no go for scs 😔 so sad
is tepper out
yes
Earlier this Spring, you indicated you would like your name to be placed on our waiting list for possible
admission to Carnegie Mellon's Tepper School of Business for Fall 2023. In late May, we will determine if
the enrollment for the Tepper School of Business for Fall 2023 is complete.
If you get admitted they will send you an email instead of portal updating
i don’t see anything on the portal
IS ig i took the L:
As you requested, we have carefully considered your application for admission to the Information Systems
Joint Dietrich/Heinz program. Unfortunately, although you may be a qualified candidate, we are unable to
offer you admission at this time because of space limitations. If openings become available after the May
1, 2023 reply date, we will contact you. Although there is a possibility, I cannot be overly encouraging that
such an opening will become available.
late may??
check ur decletter again
it’s just pwl
i didnt get an email
ur dec letter didnt change?
yeah eng isnt out yet
nope
Brotherrerrrrer
Guess its tmmrw
But that also means they’re overworked = lots of waitlists = low chances ☠️💀
a friend of mine spoke to an AO and they said the green box is not an indication of anything
wait which colleges did the waitlist come out for
Yea same here that’s what my friend told me
anybody know of anyone who got off SCS WL?
they said enrollment is now full
but perhaps some people got in
when i say some i mean like <10
hmm ic
Someone said in ECE they got an email from CMU saying there will be limited movement. Anyone else get that email?
Nah
I’m also waitlisted for ece but didn’t get the email
^
could also be cap lol not everyone tells the truth
ill believe it if someone else says they got an email
Did the waitlist decision come out
Hmm true
Are u guys sure that if you’re admitted then you get an email instead of the update on portal?
Shouldn’t they email everyone regardless of acceptance or rejection?
well for me I was rejected from wl and did not get an email
r u engineering?
no mcs
when is tepper coming out 😭
end of may
Any idea on when CoE releases?
maybe tomorrow
generally they will reach out however they can
text, call, email depending on what contact info you've provided
no -- they pull individuals off of waitlist until all slots are filled, upon which they would only be able to reject the rest
Same
what happened to those that were accepted?
to their portal
I did email admissions and it seems that CoE still does have slots for students
wait let me send yall a screenshot
seems that they filled up slots
i believe we’re gonna get our rejection letters today
Yeah
pretty sure no green box = doomed waitlist
Tragedy
heard it also got removed but they got an email?
yeah that would make sense
Its out
sigh
I really thought it would happen
Did you guys all get your engineering decisions?
Did you get an email or did you just check the portal?
Portal
Can you view a letter on there?
Yo can you view a letter on your portal?
Do you still have that "decision letter" or is it gone?
Also did you apply as a Junior?
did tepper come out?
there have been no emails, no messages, and no updates to my portal
Scs out?
I don't think so, my portal still is green
yes
Tepper decision letter gone 😦
same 😦
😦
That the End is in sight
time to move on
One less college to keep checking 
Does "We will contact you in the summer if an opening comes up" just mean we're on a different waitlist now
Yea
Lol
Just got email that Tepper admission closed
Yo
howdy
hai
Omg more CMU 27 ppl hi
lmg HIIII what major u
oooo im SCS 27🫡
We have a lot of Pittsburgh area ppl there
yes
anyways have you been in pittsburgh for a while?
when i went for a few days i did nottt know wtf to do😭
get verified #📜-rules join verified village we have like a whole Pittsburgh group
Yesss
I like it there a lot
sat at the airport for like 6 hours 🚶♂️
not the airport 😭 there’s a lot of fun and beautiful places to go see!! if you want any recs:)
yesss prob when i get there to move in
how's the.. grind😭😭 there
im tryna choose my dorms now😭😭
yes ofc!!
omg what are you looking at rn
I lived in Stever house it’s so nice and I think the nicest freshman dorm with ac per room controls and really nice ambience - if you’re okay with gender inclusive housing and you select that box, you’re guaranteed it
pretty strong. If it were an easy/unchallenging school everyone would be there. But just do your classes on pace and everything will work out
not stever HAHA😭😭 it was a little too small for me idek where i would put my stuff
lol it’s actually not that bad, I can’t imagine how one would have so much stuff that it wouldn’t fit esp if u lift ur bed
im in vv but I don’t see the CMU group
It's not a group group per se
