CMU never told us
Website says “by December 15” for ED
noice
do you guys know anyone who got in cmu design?
^^^
are u applying next yr?
lol they literally work more than the CS/Engineer majors
Whaaaat
well if i get rejected this makes me feel better LOL
Me too
u applied design this yr?
oh good luck!
Yeah imean bxa program
oh damn 💀 good luck im sure youre cracked
that's for BXA, just Design is 11%
still insanely hard

bro I literally applied with a fine arts portfolio
11 is like around the acceptance rate for the entire school

I'm not getting in
entire school is 14% with i think dietrich being the highest?
tepper was also higher
yea
maybe i shouldve just applied architecture 💀
same
That high??
shoulda switched once I got in with Architecture
yea💀
its like impossible to switch to design tho right
i heard from my friend in cmu art
acceptance rates arent public
oh idk i was just looking on google
lol every source says somehing diff on google
nah like
oh no
so it's not exactly accurate
800 kids applied design
but i mean 11 - 14 is a tiny diff anyays
this yr??????
in total
last yr
??? Wtf
could be higher this yr
NAHHHH
wellesley my ed 2 school 🙏 please save me
Great. I’m not getting in lol
11% acceptance would be 80 accepted kids
why did I ED here bruh💀
they said holistic
im scared theyll actually care a lot about essays bc mine were so ass
bro am I screwed if mine is mostly fine arts
ur a junior you have time 💀
oh didnt update that shit
i dont think thats how admissions work
just in general
USC does that tho
its so weird if someone who doesnt do design/art reviews ur portfolio tho
I just maxed out the submissions
i feel like some people who dont do design only appreciate hyperrealism
so i hope actual design ppl review portfolios
that makes sense actually, that is probably how it is
mine were hyper realistic
good amount
one of the ppl i knew from like 2 yrs ago got into cmu design with a lot of hyperrealism in her portfolio so i think its ok
but she was also insane
oh thank god
I wanna do Product Design specifically
not communications
How bout game designs
I hope they care abt my fine art skills for ghat
ithink that falls under game art or ui ux for gaming?
I think they only got envi product and communications
yeahh same i want to do product
hopefully ux (i need duolingo to hire me)
I think I can choose game design when I was submitting that slideroom thing
rlly?
i did the cmu game design summer program actually
we only had 3 choices
Yeah and I did
oh damn cool
all my friends from that camp got rejected from CMU
lmzoo
but they also applied scs i think
acceptances are so random
fr
They know their place
i think the only person ik who got into bcsa had a rec letter from one of the professors
would school of design care if my grades are very good
I don’t think CMU takes it into consideration
LOL i have the same question
yea they don't
is that why the ed and rd rates are about the same 💀
like do they weigh grades more
the person i knew who got into design a few years ago wasnt in top 10% ranking but their sat was pretty good like in the low 1500s
bro wtf
I'm the opposite
she had crazy art accomplishments tho
damn
wait 1490 isnt bad lol
Yea
esp if u have a high gpa to kinda balance out
I think top 2% in a sweaty school
🤓 WOW
Damn I submitted a 33
yea same
I just sent my 1490
if I went test optional they would think I got smtn lower
i doubt sat matters that much if ur applying design
yea
i feel like its always good to report above a 1450 or so
idk
tf where do you go
all of em
this school is suburban PA
Texas is worse
Public school
lol yeah sweaty asian suburban area in texas
One of my friends got a 1600
wtf
idk how our academics are crazy
But we r intl students so idk
athletics are crazy
where are u from
idk how that would affect me
Ohh that’s good 
is it harder for intl?
lucky
Idk but I feel so
Yes 💀
Yes💀
all bots apply from intl
competing with em is crazy
Like the school of design admitted abt 5 Chinese last year

Hell I got into engineering with abt that score
damn
But we have to submit toefl or IELTS scores and u guys don’t
are those english proficiency tests
Guess thats one advantage of yours
Yeah
If you attend us high school then I don’t think you’ll need those
But I live in China so I have to take one lol
I didn't need to
your english is really good tho i wouldnt have guessed you lived outside the us
Oh thx 🙂
You should apply for what you want to do instead of metagaming the shit out of everything
where is this damn email 
Yea there’s a good chance we don’t get this ish by friday
And they’ve been lying to us
maybe they'll send it in the afternoon today
damn 😭
yeah thats fair enough
at the same time the admissions officer that visited my school basically said that if youre more interested in applications then apply to information systems
so ig ill apply SCS if i want to go theoretical at uni
u could also apply MCS math or dietrich stats/ml
Nah it will come out 2093 earliest
GTA 6, Frank and Carti are all dropping before we get the email
Should i submit my 1460 sat or go test optional
Submit
🤌
I predict it comes out 2024
imagine if an ed decision comes out after rd dealines lmao
Real
i predict that on friday they will send us an email that the decisions are delayed
Fuck
Same
atp ED2 would have been much better to do if they delay
i'm applying to cmu rd, and i was just wondering if nrec is a resource that students could use, or if you'd need a internship to be able to work in it
Yea you’d need to work with a professor
Less formal than an internship tho
maybe too many people applied scs and they cant decide lmao
highly doubt that
i mean they were a little delayed in giving us the app portal
Somehow I feel this delay in decision is bc of the portal
Its not like in the previous years they were making major changes to it
Hopefully it just comes soon so I know if I should submit my RDs or not
Technically they have to get it out by the 15th
Otherwise one could argue that the ED agreement is void
can't wait for that rejection letter of mine!
Im pretty sure thats not happening
why wouldn't it
this is true
predicting it'll come in 44 minutes and they'll announce Friday at 7pm
In my opinion, the only reason why they would not send out a confirmed decision date yet is because they might delay it to after the 15th
i feel like they'd probably email us saying that's their plan anyway maybe without giving an exact date yet
cause they've been saying by the 15th this whole time
without any other changes
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking
It’s so joever
they seem pretty confident itll be 15th
if they dont send notif email by tomorrow i will be scared
actually im already scared as balls bruh
havethey sent emails in past years
before ED release?
💀
Dec 15 2024 release date hype
how late did they send the portals the past yrs
Doesn’t that make it better

Better to be surprised than sit in anticipation
Imagine you wake up at 7 and you get an email
my honest reaction
No class of 2028 this year?
True
I’m just hoping we’ll get our results on or before 15

on their website too
they really boutta blue ball us just to reject 99% of us anyways :sklu
if its in the morning id be so mad cause i wake up at 530 and would have to sit in anticipation almost falling asleep 💀
ive got a test friday morning i cant mental boom before that LMAO
lmao same
Take advantage of that
You don't know if it's coming
So just don't check
Until after the test
The decision will be the same if you check at 8am or if you wait a bit
that is harder to do than it seems
might just be because i have a habit of checking my email first thing in the morning
Block CMU 💀
LMAO
they always send notif email right
im actually getting so scared
my calc teacher was like i know u guys will be freaked out on friday so youll get a selfstudy period
real
imagine
i just have a test
maybe someone in the admissions office is planning some sort of troll
lol I checked my result while waiting in line for lunch
Based on my stats I didn't think i had a chance so I didn't bother checking until way later 💀
well it worked out ig
im gonna need to be cradled while checking my decision
for me its terrible timing I have a study period on thursday and a calc unit test on friday
all my grades are done but my parents want me to finish and turn in all my rd apps by this week after cmu decision 💀
gl!!
ty
No confidence lol
pipe dream
cmu design is probably getting harder to get into every year
design is getting super popular i think
ui ux

nooooooooooo--------!!
does your teacher curve them at least
noooo gifs dont work
oh yeah
or the whole class will fail iguess
oh yeah what kind of design/art stuff do you do?
i wanna do games actually
lmao
that ideate program at cmu is so cool
@regal cloud the days of aquanoid and worldweaver
tho i doubt if i can get into cmu
if you end up doing ideate and meet chris klug tell me
you would’ve liked the precollege program for game design
KLUG
oh i asked him for a lor
WTF
my friend got one from him and she ended up making it into bcsa
she applied for scs but they gave her bcsa
wtf
aravind do u remember april
lmao
yes
yeah she’s crazy
she was in my group for that one production assignment 😭
where we made people not sleep or eat or drink water (not irl for context)
i lost 10 pounds during that round because i couldn’t eat for a week! april was the best
with alex
💀
you all made a fire game in the end tho
which one
which alex out of the 3267383
ohh zhuang i remember now
yall made the vr magic one?
YOU HAD RITTA
she’s so insane i’m glad im not in the intl pool LMAOO
💀💀💀
OMG NHSGA PEEPS 👀
ong
are yall gonna ed 2 anywhere if cmu reject
ed2 is a suicide
💀 huh
all ivy rejects ed2
oh...
i was gonna do wellesley rip
all the mit ea rejects lol
cuz I got to pay full everywhere
Stern is on steroids
sternoids ahahhaha 🤓
I lowkey wish I did arch instead of design
atleast I would have had a chance to transfer
rather than getting fully rejected
dam
gl
i dont think its possible to transfer to design 💀 a lot of art students at cmu have tried
oh💀
yea cmu design is ermmm
is it possible to transfer to bxa
we genuinely don't know what they look at
since its acceptance rate is like 5 %
i feel like i'd have a lot more fun at other schools tbh but cmu is best for my career
like for other majors u got a basic idea
of what they would look at
Design had like 6 supps
💀
6 essays in total
wait what
3 in common app
wha
i only remember 1 actual extra mini one
basically 6
they r for the school right?
the other 2 were like "link ur social media" and smth elese
yea
one was additional info
one was why BXA
oh yeah i didnt rly have anything for that
oh yea
ohh you did bxa
i left my ig there
i did pure design so i only had like 1 required
one was dream class
i hope the school isnt delaying because they r cheking my ig
oh yea the dream class one was kinda fun
LOL
do you have an art acc
I wrote abt Trash💀
fascinating
sounds cool lol
doesn't have to be design related
mine was boring i wrote about like 3d modeling but for food specifically
blender donut
so am I!
genuinely tweaking so hard if i dont get that notif email by tmr
no one gets my pain in my school
did yall applyto usc?
cuz all of em are engineering bots
and assume anything art is easy
even when it's way harder
its like 90k per year to live there i thought about it and i was like 💀 do i really want to go to LA
exactly bro and most ppl dont know the diff between art and design
yea💀
i also have auto admit ut austin so i dont think i'd go to usc/ucla over ut austin
I'm still scared for turning in a fine arts portfolio
how important do y'all think was the video💀
I genuinely bsed that
mine was just a bunch of yapping
damn
my entire college app profile is just yapping about my interests bc i feel like thats the only thing that sets me apart from the rest of the asian sweats idk
what was ur commonapp on
my background
essay
nothing crazy
cuz I travelled and moved a lot
cliched
but that's who I am
yeah its fine if topic "cliche" its about framing
true
ucla is so hard to get in
for intl students
yeah actually ucla is really good but i think location is p important to me
rlly?
yep
I thought they liked full pay intls
like super super hard
cuz if ur in state
ur gonna pay like 30k
they are are businesses
if they admit international students
they are getting a lot more money
if they are full pay
idk
probably there are way too many applicants
that's what my friend told me
like intls
true
especially chinese
nah
I've heard terrible things abt it
usually if you go abroad then you are waived
thats true...
true
but the good thing is as long as you score high enough on gaokao you'll get in
so much simpler
here u need grades ECs SATs essays awards and what not
cure cancer to be admitted to school
yeah
have ur dad donate a building
i wish we did admissions based on grades only sometimes but its hard to make sure its fair
ah yes harvard guarantee
does CMU ed increase your chances?
I wish so too
no
pfffff
minimal improvement
that place is depressing
I've visited there
and spending 2 hrs there made me wanna kms
what’s ur fav campus?
campus?
you northeasterners are so lucky
there’s a literal cemetery across BC 🤌
😑
my friend got into northeastern
nice
it depends how many people apply ED. CMU accepts a little less than 600 ED
oh wtf it might actually decrease chances then gg
most ed applicants are probably more qualified than rd
and if a bunch of ppl applied this year then 💀
😭
I have to grind my RD apps now
Cus in 2021, about 3000 applied ED and 592 got accepted, but in 2022, 4528 applied ED and 567 got accepted.
wtf
idk
predicting like <10% ed this year lowkey

😭
I think the boost in applicants have to do with test optional policy
its joever
can i just say one thing
nobody should do ED2 to cmu
at all
their ED2 rate is = to the RD rate, also for RD you get evaluated for 2 different majors, in ED you only get evaluated for 1
so better odds in RD imo
atp i dont think cmu is going to send an email
they're just gonna send an email once the decisions are actually out to tell us to check our portal lol
💀
lmao ikr
whatd u apply for

been losing sleep since last saturday
The anxiety is kiiling me
"is this gonna cause any anxiety for our applicants?" eh probably not
materials science and engineering
data science
FRRR all my friends atleast KNOW when theyre getting decision
do they have ds? or is it statml?
yea statml
AYEE im coe too
yooo
probs most competitve major in dietrich
crazyyy all the best
nah fr
and its stressing me out even more cause 19 kids in my grade have already fully committed
Ya'll are literally going to be fine
it doesn't matter when the descicion comes out
it will
soon
and you'll either get in or you won't
FRR bunch of kids got EDs yesterday and ivy kids getting in a few hours too
i keep telling myself that
its just annoying now
oh yeai forgot about that
like jsut tell me
💀
im glad im the only at my school who applied ed to cmu lmao
like 5 people applied ed to brown and another 5 to dartmouth
thats so good
i dont remember the last time someone at my school has gotten into dartmouth 💀
3 applied from mine, 2 coe, 1 scs
ah
WTF IS THIS SCHOOL
so many competitve kids??
for some reason i am one of three people in my grade who actually does cs
but didnt apply for it
why?
i dont really find it as enjoyable as chem/mat sci stuff, plus im not good enough at it to actually get in where i want to go for cs
fair enough honestly
matsci sounds like so much fun
@low idol chem vs phy vs math? rank
HAHAHAHAHA the math at the end is crazy
lmao
fair
my opinion is invalid
what are u applying for
CEE (Civil and Environmental Engineering)
sick
AYEE SAME HAHAHA
But I am RD not EA
oh okay all the best
good luck!
I hadn't taken the SAT yet and didn't have a transcript by the EA deadline
ah
hmm better to give them sat so they have another data point i guess
good morning admissions office it's time to send emails 🙂
Yeah well I don't have any other stats so I need it
One of two here lol
I am one of one
I might just be the only person who can even operate a non chromebook....

I've had to explain to people that they can have multiple things open at once before
😭
and the difference between a website and an app
Only the tip of the ice berg
ofc cmu happiest place on earth🎉 ❤️
nah but fr what is social life like
the chronically onlines say horrible and the one person ik who went there a few years ago said its pretty good so now idk what to think
my classmate's brother went there and said it was horrible lol
and the food too apparently
You have a lot of flexibility here. Ik some ppl who are partying every night and others who literally disappear to their room for days on end
If you wanna have a social life you can do it
But it’s more challenging than at other places
Yeah there are two good places on campus
hmm interesting
theres like rankings for this i've seen vtech, ucla, umass amherst pretty high up
Yeah Tech is amazing
Hopefully. Imagine going to a hella depressing school and never having a good meal since they’re in the middle of nowhere

At least there are hella restaurants around CMU
any idea how easy or hard it is to switch from coe to dietrich?
LMFAO
yeah i would hope the city around would make it atleast slightly more lively
Just gotta have decent grades and show cause
You meet with an advisor and show your new plan of study/why it’ll be better than your current program
IS is harder tho
wait can we have our food at upitts
haha
No. They be eating better than us
Their meal plan an get them food from actual restaurants
Skull
Uhhh still nothing from CMU
😭
💀
crazyyy all the best to you too
thank you i have little hope
same honestly
nah you both got this
but atleast i won't be entirely disappointed then💀 i think
if they drop the decision with no notif email im goinf into cardiac arrest
they can't not accept the most sus nhsga member
i feel like thats what thyere about to do
real
idk i wont even be offended if they rejecet me cmu design is miserable i hear
Hi
hi
hii
I’m new to the server
hi
cmu all together is miserable i hear
true
hello resident cmu goer
Cmu has a reputation for being miserable but tbh I’ve never met anyone who attends cmu tell me that it is miserable
UwU
FRR i know 2 people who go there and they both say its pretty good
harder to hear good stories online i guess
selection bias and what not
Yeah
I’m scared about the decision. But it is what it is
yup gotta take it in good spirit i guess
what did u apply for?
Computer science
Physics, English, Intro to Math, and ECE
Yeah, really low acceptance rate
ahh all the best
oh cool, cmu has that thing where u have to take a 2nd engineering concentration intro course in 2nd sem right? what are u thinking of
May the odds be ever in your favor
Biomed
Since it’s the lowest time commitment
I’m taking 2 sophomore ECE courses
I don’t wanna be doing any more work than I have to outside of that lol
thats so cool omg
i just need my cmu result so i can stop pretending like im already admitted and imagining what class i'll be picking💀
wait also if i get deferred ed can i apply for 2nd major for rd round or nah
i need my cmu results so i can stop doing my rd apps LMAO
Maybe? But honestly I don’t know anybody who got into their second choice here so not really anything to lose sleep over lol
LMAO fair point too many essays left which i dont wanna write
LITERALLY ive written like 1 sentence for wellesley in the past 2 days
i hate writing sm i wish more schools were like northeastern
TOO MANY
HAHAHAHAHA
is it bad to say i like writing the essays
well some of them atleast
YES UR WEIRD
and also a toji stan
so ik ur messed up in the head
jk
after doing way too many EAs i've started hating the college research ones but i like the random ones where i can get abruptly philosophical LMAO
MY CMU ESSAYS WERE SO STUPID
LMAO
i wrote about my love for puns
ARE U WATCHING S2
omg
nuh uh
wait i didnt even watch jjk i just have friends who did (they are mentally ill)
HAHAHAHAHAHA

Nothing official
Which is weird
They’re usually p good abt it I think
So everyone’s just kinda hoping for tomorrow
Speaking of chat please modmail once they send out a notif along with a ss/link to the notif
So we can add to calendar
wait chloe are u in cmu design
someone on reddit just said cmu was listed on "counselor lost service" and is marked "locked" on the counselor's portal💀
lonk
link
the post is on cmu early megathread
I refuse to believe it
uh oh
well ig ill ask my counselor
my friend reached out to them, they said theyre coming out tmr but they dont even know what time
☠️☠️
So much misinformation lol
no they say "by" tmrw
maybe its 6pm EST today
or just bait
Aight bruh why haven’t they sent anything yet by now
let us know what ur counselor says pls😭
Yeah she had no clue what they portal thingy meant
She just said “it’s coming out to@orrow” but my guess is that’s just from her calendar with the default times
Idk anymore
today or tomorrow?
does it actually say 6pm EST?
same
no idea. cmu just stay quiet for no reason😕 it is the quietest among all the uni I applied. those ivy at least sent out some ad emails. cmu didnt send out anything before and after i submitted my app. 💀
yea ong
Huh
it’s actually 6pm est fr?
not official. just some random info on reddit
he or she sounds confident
what did u apply as
this shit better not be fake or i'll be waking up at 4:30am for no fucking reason
are you international?
SCS
fr
yup
u got this bro
you too🙏🏽
Anyone ed dietrich stats + ds ?
is the 6pm thing real
okay
did u call the admissions office
What timezone for you?
nope on insta
Same man
GL yall
You international?
gll

They replied to one of the comments
Yeah if you dont mind
yes
hopefully
ye but hasnt that comment been there for like a week
