so at least we'll get a date then

#

unless we dont

static panther
#

lmao that would be so crazy

#

if they j go against what their own website says ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

nah thats kinda annoying now i gotta tack on 7 extra days of waiting

echo bronze
#

lmao

#

i already mentally prepared myself for saturday now i gotta wait man?

low idol
#

lmao

#

can someone dm me the photo

static panther
#

like now i have the nervousness that its coming out the next day and i j have that for 7 more days

#

this is a masterclass troll

echo bronze
#

in previous years did they like

#

say on their website it was the 15 and do the saturday thing

neon wasp
#

yeahh

echo bronze
#

oh

neon wasp
#

maybe they got way more apps this year

static panther
#

yeah their webiste would always say like before december 15th

#

and it owuld always get released on the second saturday of december

#

for the past 5 yrs

neon wasp
#

it would say "by the 15th" implying it couold come before, which they would normally do the saturday before

#

but ig this year is different

echo bronze
#

thats a shame

static panther
echo bronze
#

Good morning
With the decision deadline looming closer, I was notified by some close family members that some schools release their ED decisions on certain weekdays in December rather than specifically on the 15th. Will CMU send a notification a couple of days before the decision or will they be released on the 15th?
Best regards,

#

cause mysister specifically mentioned that emory was on like

#

the second wednesday of december

#

instead of 15th

#

even though they said 15th

blazing rivet
#

Does anyone know when CMU ED1 gonna come out?

static panther
#

looks like its december 15th confirmed

static panther
#

well thats tuff ig see yall in a week ๐Ÿ˜ญ

low idol
#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

gl everyone

#

we got this

blazing rivet
low idol
#

yea cause in the past its been the second saturday of december

neon wasp
#

yeah that was the specualted date based on previous years

static panther
neon wasp
#

but we just got it basically confirmed that its the 15th

blazing rivet
#

But ya portal says 15 just got scared for a minute๐Ÿ˜…

static panther
#

yeah idk how the email that zedrikk got meants its not december 15th

blazing rivet
#

Also A2C speculations have been on point too

#

Like the UMiami speculation was accurate

#

100%

echo bronze
#

yeah its just weird for them to not go with precedent

#

its been second saturday of december for a while

#

but we haven't gotten a notification yet

#

i mean i hope they admissions guy isnt lying to my face ๐Ÿ’€

low idol
#

lmao surely not

echo bronze
#

unless

static panther
#

that would be crazy if he j lied to your face ๐Ÿ˜ญ

echo bronze
#

but yeah supposedly itll actually be the 15th

#

idk if we have any '26 cmu people in here that still remember or have the email saved but supposedly uh last year they gave 4 days notice

#

if they did that the previous year as well then its almost certainly not gonna be released tomorrow

static panther
blazing rivet
#

The anxiety killing me i canโ€™t anymore

low idol
#

real

blazing rivet
#

The sooner the better

static panther
#

yeah but unfortunately unless yeah unless "planning for december 15th" is j them not wanting to admit its comign tmrw

#

its gonna be another week of anxiety

low idol
#

maybe "planning" was meant to be purposely vague and they'll just release whenever

#

copium

static panther
#

yeah we are copign to another level

#

but ig delusion is better than accepting the actaul fact lmao

#

but what ill prolly do is not wake up at sharp 9 ill j wake up whenever i want and check the decision

echo bronze
#

yeah just chill dont expect much

#

ig

#

i mean if you overslept theres no harm

#

you got to see it at the same time in ur refernce point

#

static panther
#

nah some guy earlier emailed them asking and they said they plan for a december 15th release date

patent cove
#

ah okay

#

it makes sense theyre releasing later than last year

#

bc i emailed them abt smth when i applied and they said they were redoing their portal

#

thats why a lot of processes are taking them longer than expected

golden ledge
#

damn one more week of waiting then

grave marten
#

darn

patent cove
#

why they being vague as fuck

#

"BY"

#

that means it could come before as well

#

(this is me latching on to the sliver of hope it comes out on 9th)

somber cipher

What is ED 2 for generally speaking and is there one for Carnegie

And the worst part is if you dont do the dancing your grade goes down

#

So i gotta dance like my life depends on it

dusky leaf
#

lamo I want to attend that class and see u guys dancing

warped orbit

But it was also just a pe option for us

delicate comet
warped orbit
#

Send it to CMU

#

To show them you are well versed in other cultures

delicate comet
#

LOL

obtuse zodiac
#

lol someone send the cmu portal screenshot now

#

i wanna see how it looks like because it was fucking weird my admissions cycle

patent cove
#

its the most basic shit ever

#

like it doesnt even have diff tabs

patent cove
olive schooner
#

same

#

cmu has top1 cs school and its website is like this lol

obtuse zodiac
#

better than last years

obtuse zodiac
#

also mit is probably better than us if we're being real ๐Ÿ˜”

#

which also makes sense because their website is infinitely nicer than ours ๐Ÿ’€

mellow nova
obtuse zodiac
#

idk about ai but ik we're indisputably the best for robotics

#

to be honest though once u get to T4 EECS rankings everything is so close together it's pretty silly to split hairs

#

like it's exceptionally silly to go to mit over cmu for cs or ee just because mit's program is slightly better due to some random program representing some subset of cs/ee having slightly more funding

#

gun to my head ranking is probably {mit} -> {cmu, stanford} -> {berkeley, uiuc} -> {caltech, princeton} -> {cornell, uw} but i think program strength should not factor into your decision at all unless the distance between program strengths is > 2

olive schooner
#

i thought caltech was one of the toptop cs school

#

is it more of a physics or engineering stuff school?

covert dove
#

i keep seeing the worst student experience posts on reddit about Carnegie Mellon tbh. Basically describing that people that get rejected from mit and stanford come here with a salty attitude. Not sure how much true that is tho

mellow nova
#

see if u get into one of mit, cmu, stanford, etc. you really can't go wrong with any pick, there's barely much difference academically

obtuse zodiac
#

thats DEFINITELY true

#

it's not everyone but it's enough to become extremely annoying

#

id say like ~25% of SCS is like that

#

maybe like ~5% of ECE

#

~10% of math

covert dove
quasi trout

Thereโ€™s definitely people happy to be here

flint basin
#

guys what time on dec 15 do decisions come out?

low idol
#

id guess sometime in the evening but its not confirmed

olive schooner
#

The results are out on 15th?

#

Will CMU send an email before it releases decisions

low idol
#

someone sent an email and they said they're planning for a decision release on the 15th

low idol

hopefully in the next couple days

lusty vale

Trueโ€ฆ though I suppose the new portal has to do with its not releasing results on 9thblobfear

how hard is it to get into CMU design?

bro like is the portfolio make it or break it

#

or is it holistic

#

shits confusing

I knew they were good but didnโ€™t think they were that good

abstract bobcat
#

Do i send a 1460 sat to carnegie?

olive schooner
golden ledge
#

that sat below 25%

#

so prob not

dusky pawn
#

1460 is fine even if itโ€™s below the 25%. If you donโ€™t send it in itโ€™ll look like you did far worse

delicate comet
#

I didnt send a 1420

golden ledge
#

Pretty sure it was the right decision not to send a 1420

quasi trout
#

Probably yes

delicate comet

I wish CMU told us when they are gonna release it ๐Ÿ˜ฟ

surely we get an email tmrw

CMU has been one of the quietest schools meltingsob

ik its getting on my nerves

#

they could at least say something

true dock
#

yall are concentrations and majors the same thing at Carnegie Mellon?

#

or is a concentration like a mini-major like some other schools?

answer: they are different

P common, might have different names some places tho

i think only stats is showing cus you only pick specific major after acceptance

#

you applied for stats + ds program right

somber cipher
delicate comet
#

and then once you get in (which hopefully we will) then you can pick specific major

somber cipher
#

ah ic tysm

delicate comet

Or Ig in the second semester of your first year

#

Notably, you canโ€™t declare the AI major in SCS automatically since itโ€™s in a different college

#

But thereโ€™s a process to do so if you want to

The possibility of failure is necessary in order for an accomplishment to be valuable.

Carnegie Mellon is harsh. Built amongst the foreboding gothic towers of a once-great Steel City in the Pittsburgh climate of endless wind and rain, Carnegie Mellon (or CMU, as its grim, studious denizens call it) gives no quarter.

If you arrive as a freshman and find that the courseload or subject matter is too difficult, you will simply begin to fall behind, until you start to fail your courses, and once you fail out of too many, you will be placed on probation and eventually, you will leave. During the first year of every student, if you're not the one who is failing out, you will inevitably know someone who does. It doesn't happen loudly - someone you know will just... disappear. Usually after the first winter break, or some make it through the first year but don't return for the second. Eventually you hear through the grapevine that they transferred to another school, always an easier one (not that there are harder ones). The university has no mercy. You are there to learn and study - the harsh weather and humdrum city life ensure that you do - and if you can't keep up, you will be pitilessly and efficiently removed. Those who survive emerge stronger, hardened, capable.

Carnegie Mellon is Pittsburgh's last steel factory.

no offense to upitt its just located in shittsburgh

whole eagle

CMU is literally right next to pitt

Iโ€™d rather take math at cmu then physics at upitt over the summer

dusky pawn
north otter

yeah cmu is also in shittsburgh sadly

dusky pawn
#

Whatโ€™s wrong with Pittsburgh

north otter
#

apparently its actually a nice city tho

north otter
#

however apaprently it was ranked the most livable city in the US

dusky pawn
#

Itโ€™s mid

dusky pawn
#

The weather here sucks

north otter
#

yeah

dusky pawn
#

But thereโ€™s enuf stuff to do if you really want to

#

And cmu students can go anywhere via bus for free

north otter
#

uiuc and cmu students explaining how the weather strengthens their resolve to become master programmers

whole eagle
#

why is uiuc in this

north otter
#

uiuc also has famously shitty weather and a famously good cs program

dusky pawn
whole eagle
#

in this case shouldnt this include mit, udub (to an extent), cornell, mich, and pton

dusky pawn
whole eagle
#

WL IN

north otter
#

boston also has good weather

whole eagle
#

im applying to purdont as well

north otter
#

i suppose cornell does count tho

dusky pawn
north otter
#

cornell being the most depressed school in the whole nation

whole eagle
#

isint that CMU

#

cmu cornell battle

dusky pawn
#

Cmu clears

whole eagle

lmao

north otter
#

probably tied

#

i had a friend who was so depressed at cornell that he was trying to transfer back to UT Dallas

#

๐Ÿ’€

whole eagle
#

thats crazy

north otter
#

he got into UChicago

#

which come to think of it is also pretty depressing

whole eagle
#

seeing cornell thread yeah people are kinda depressed

dusky pawn
north otter
#

purdue is actually good uni-wise tho i think

whole eagle
#

all my reach options are uiuc, mich, udub, gatech, cmu, cornell

north otter
#

those r mine too

dusky pawn
#

Purdue?

north otter
#

well i still have a yr i suppose

whole eagle
dusky pawn

tbh if i dont get into any like t10 for cs im just gna finish my ugrad at UTD in like a year or two on a full ride

#

ill miss the college experience tho sadly

dusky pawn
north otter
#

yeah

dusky pawn
#

Lol

whole eagle
#

regardless of cost:

  1. CMU
  2. uiuc = gatech
  3. cornell = mich = udub (slight adv for cornell)
#

cost inclusive

  1. uiuc = gatech
  2. cmu
  3. cornell
  4. udub
  5. mich
north otter
#

honestly i hope UT is a target for me

whole eagle
north otter
#

nah my rank is fucked up

#

but i hope turing can look past that

whole eagle
#

imo if you get into turing

#

you should go there

north otter
#

oh yea 100%

#

id go for turing over anything other than t4 cs or high ivy

whole eagle
#

id say go for turing over anything

north otter
#

i mean

#

t4

#

like hypsm, berk EECS, cmu

whole eagle
#

would not pick cal over turing ngl
cal got a host of issues

dusky pawn
#

Cmu or state school

whole eagle
#

cmu mit stanford i get ig

dusky pawn
#

cmuwu

north otter
#

hypsm over anything tbh

whole eagle
#

hard disagree

dusky pawn
whole eagle
#

hypsm mad overrated for cs, esp hyp

#

cmu clears ivies

#

id argue mit and stanford too but thats a controversial opinion

north otter
#

but the thing is for CS curriculum honestly doesnt matter too much its mainly the connections and placement

#

dont get me wrong it matters a lot but

#

less than in other fields

whole eagle
#

i see your point

north otter
#

i mean honestly for SWE prestige doesnt matter too much either

whole eagle
#

yeah for swe no one cares

north otter
#

but i wanna go into CS research so yeah

whole eagle
#

im trying for startup culture ngl

#

maybe do an mba

north otter
#

i kinda wanna go into. start up but i despise finance ngl

how is startup culture at CMU

Idk if i am second guessing but CMU ED was the right choice, right?

Like it seems kinda scary that in case i get in i cant apply anywhere

Comp science

But bar Stanford or MIT I would take CMU over anything

warped orbit
dusky pawn
whole eagle
#

i didnt ED cmu cause there wasnt a point

#

while i could have EDd somewhere elseโ€ฆ i didnt troll

dusky pawn
#

ED useless

lusty vale
#

ED at some schools is like 2x chance of admission

#

Or like 6x for uchicago

tropic garnet
# dusky pawn ED useless

Isnt it good though that you applied before all the people who got rejected from stanford and MIT ED 2 to cmu

lusty vale
#

I swear they only admit people from ED at uchicago, which is why they don't give stats on that

lusty vale
whole eagle
#

the only school i would ED to is cornell but its too expensive to justify it over a lower rd acceptance rate

#

i think the ED acceptance rate is like 2-3x rd

#

but who cares

dusky pawn
#

Daily reminder

whole eagle
#

where should i go instead

abstract bobcat
lusty vale
whole eagle
#

at that point only CMU and MIT is worth it and even then

lusty vale
whole eagle
#

nothing can be as depressing as CMU

lusty vale
#

but I haven't actually been to CMU campus

whole eagle
#

i havent been to either campus and will only go if im admitted

lusty vale
#

I've only been to MIT, because I was offered some work there and took a tour while I was there

#

and then I checked it out a second time when I did a fly in for a different boston college

whole eagle
#

ah nice

#

ive only really been to my state school

#

gonna go to gatech for sure if im accepted

#

i dont see udub and mich happening though

#

and ill ask for support if i get accepted to cmu or ell

lusty vale
#

What is ELL?

i just call it ell cause it has no corn

And the resources the Swartz center provides are amazing

#

Theyโ€™ve given us a dedicated office, AWS credits, VC contacts, networking events, etc

tropic garnet

Oh thats insane

pliant blade

The limitation for startups is moreso the time youโ€™ll have after school work

def not the resources

although it still works out

tropic garnet

How much of your time does the class work take

#

On an average

pliant blade

prob 60 a week

55-60 Iโ€™d say

If you time yourself well then you can work on a startup on the side

Thatโ€™s insane

yeah with the startup and clubs itโ€™s consistently 80ish

tropic garnet

Ive also heard bad things about the weather, is it really that bad?

I legitimately know some people who are not considering it because of the weather

itโ€™s kinda bad for me because Iโ€™m used to LA weather

but for northeasterners its ok
