also this heavily depends on major, but honestly coming from a not-so-competitive bay area school, i took sophomore and junior level courses in hs that were much, much harder than the freshman and sophomore courses at cmu for engineers and cs students

#

i dont know that much abt computer architectures so i cant really talk about it too much 😭

short garnet
#

lol

#

dw its actually one of the more interesting parts of compsci

obtuse zodiac
#

its not really cs tho

#

it's like ce

#

kinda

short garnet
#

yeah

#

although the algos get really complex

obtuse zodiac
#

applying cs in ce

especially for proority inversion and whatnot

guys does cmu accept loci???

#

for those defered from ed

worthy anvil
#

Idk

#

They getting mine regardless

So true

#

Your first year will be just fine

#

The first year courses are dull and a lot of them are sorta pointless

#

It gets a lot harder tho

#

Just look at the syllabi and assignments

#

lol the only course that took me a lot of time last fall was the basic pure math course

#

And it only took me awhile since I didn’t try in it

short garnet
#

i rewrote it in c++20 and ported it to my kernel

#

since its really good at handling interactive workloads

dusky pawn
north otter
#

heh vector anal

lusty vale
#

I didn't decide to apply to college till after ea deadline

#

could have ed2'd, but my top choice doesn't have it and I don't wanna miss out on possibly going there

#

because I'm delulu and think I have a chance of getting in

obtuse zodiac
#

i might add on cs or math, idk yet

obtuse zodiac
#

if you've taken amc 8/10 before it's basically 1-15 on those tests

#

the proof-writing does fuck over a lot of people tho lol

#

this is just flat out untrue btw

lusty vale
#

that CMU requires a lot of work ethic

obtuse zodiac
#

selection bias bc people who have shit work ethic or like complaining, complain the most

#

id say u need above average work ethic, but it's nothing too crazy

obtuse zodiac
#

the advanced dsa prof here is really accomplished

#

like i was reading about splay trees the other day and i saw "daniel sleator" and was like, "huh... i wonder if that's the danny sleator all the scs upperclassmen talk about" and it was lol

#

he also invented amortized analysis which is pretty cool

dusky pawn

#

Really regretting my decision rn

does anyone cannot log in to their portal?? mine said no account exist for my email or birthday

#

When is CMU ED2

If ur asking decision date it's Feb 1st

Thanks

I am so getting rejected

glacial laurel
#

what's the exact acceptance rate for cmu cs

silver talon
#

I have no idea

whole eagle
#

-17%

short garnet
#

😂

cobalt basalt
#

the exact acceptance rate for me specifically was 0%

lost shore
#

i thought it was ~3%

somber cipher
#

i applied as stats and ml. is that roughly arround the 10 percent mark

#

for acceptance

dusky pawn
#

One thing to note is that admission rates for majors aren't regularly released

#

There's some data on the interenet but it's either old or sus

#

(also important is that admissions are by college in most cases, not major)

worthy anvil
worthy anvil
obtuse zodiac
#

but i think theyre doing stat ml a little differently this year

obtuse zodiac
obtuse zodiac
#

to me that makes sense bc it's by far the largest college in terms of enrollment + it's kind of a middle-tier college within cmu (like scs and cfa are clearly more selective, dietrich and tepper are clearly less selective)

#

mcs ar also trends close to cit/overall, tho slightly higher usually

somber cipher
#

but i think that is stats and ml

somber cipher
#

i got an A in stats and A in calc, but B in ap lit does cmu consider this a lot negative

#

or would they be fine

obtuse zodiac
#

is that ur only B

#

also do u have math oly experience

somber cipher

in total tho

will ed2 be harder to get in than ed1

worthy anvil
#

The school is difficult as is to get into

upbeat eagle
#

thats why i ended up RDing over ED2ing

solemn sage
#

ED2 rates are almost the same as RD iirc

echo vale
#

yeah they're clear that cmu doesn't give a boost for ed

#

cmu doesnt need official score reports for all SAT tests right, new this year?

#

love them so much for this, cuz i took it like 5 times

manic viper
worthy anvil
#

When you look at it from an overall view

#

But that’s cause the kids applying ED

#

Had a higher chance already

sly hornet
#

anyone speculating when ed2 comes out?

#

planning to contact admissions and get ed2 changed to rd if i get accepted into ea school

last warren
#

i think

sly hornet
# last warren i think

do you think a time window of about ~1 week is enough for them to change my application type?

last warren
#

no idea to be honest with you

sly hornet
#

understandable

worthy anvil
#

Wait

#

Oh feb 1st yes

#

They do it on the exact day now it seems

#

atleast thats how they did it for ED1

last warren
sly hornet
#

great thanks!

echo vale
#

is there any way to upload a pdf for application updates? most schools do but cmu is just a pdf upload for sat scores

tropic garnet
#

Does CMU accept a LOCI?

#

this page refers to waitlisted applicants

worthy anvil
#

I’m sending one even if they don’t want it

tacit sandal
#

anyone deferred from ED1 planning to submit LOCI?

mild hemlock
#

who's doing ed2 here?

does anyone know how to login to my student aid to upload docs for fin aid?

submitted css profile for cmu and picked ed so the priority filing date says 11/1, but i applied ed2 not ed. there was no ed2 option, did i mess up and should i have picked rd?

echo vale

@slim crescent did you email it, and did they respond?

slim crescent
echo vale
#

well all of my other schools except cmu have a document upload place for additional updates or other things so i used that

#

except cmu's document upload system only has it for sat/act score reports and nothing else

slim crescent

Does cmu provide you with an application ID?

oh shit

thats so soon

#

anyone know if cmu requires midyear reports for rd applicants? like it shows this on my portal but the transcript doesnt include mid year grades so do they not require it?

Screenshot_2024-01-17_at_12.31.21_PM.png
solemn sage
#

Why would it be required

#

😭

#

Bro y’all are applying to CMU type of schools can y’all have some common sense

merry jolt
merry jolt
#

this was from like 2 years ago tho but still

#

did u apply to cmu too?

#

i dont wanna send mine if i dont have to

#

cause not great grades

solemn sage
#

It’s never your responsibility anyway

#

You don’t send mid year, your counselor uploads them

#

For RD schools anyway

merry jolt
#

oh yea thats true

#

they would contact me tho if they needed it right

#

not just auto reject

solemn sage
#

Furthermore, if it’s not on the checklist, then its for sure not ur responsibility

#

FURTHERMORE they’d contact you if they really want it

#

So yes all evidence says it’s not ur responsibility

merry jolt
solemn sage
#

Yea I’d say don’t do anything

#

They’ll ask you for stuff

merry jolt
#

only like 2 schools i applied to actually have it on their portal as a requirement

solemn sage
#

Yea if it’s not on the checklist you have plausible deniability

tribal light
halcyon chasm
echo vale
#

not many schools have mid year report show up on checklist

#

but most of the top schools require midyear reports

#

source is go on common app -> college search -> application requirements and on the table find the "MR" column and if there's a checkmark then its required

#

and usually your counselor just adds them onto common app, and it will go to all schools

tropic garnet
#

They said if you send a LOCI they will add it to our files

solemn sage
#

Nah

merry jolt
#

but if u go on google it will say not required

echo vale
# merry jolt do we even know if thats right tho? cause im pretty sure vanderbilt doesnt even ...

yeah you’re right vanderbilts website says that no midyear reports needed: https://admissions.vanderbilt.edu/vandybloggers/2015/01/frequently-asked-questions-regarding-your-vanderbilt-application/#:~:text=We do not require the,it sent to our office.&text=The deadline to apply for,but can I still apply%3F i havent checked vanderbilt for the checkmark since i didnt apply but i believe u

Here is an easy source for your frequently asked questions regarding your Vanderbilt admissions application for the 2014-2015.

#

but i dont get it though if you have even a single school that needs it, your counselor will have to upload them to commonapp and every school will receive it

merry jolt
echo vale
#

yeah same with me

merry jolt
#

they choose where to send and i have to tell them where to send

echo vale
#

oh yall get to choose?

merry jolt
#

yea

#

we have to tell them the schools we want to send

echo vale
#

ok i wonder what colleges do when like they dont require it but still receive them

merry jolt
#

vanderbilt is optional so the will consider it

#

but places like uc im pretty sure they dont look at it

echo vale
#

yeah UC definitely no, they dont even take transcripts at all until you commit

it twas alyways in my plaqn to apply for CMU

worthy anvil

Now ur gonna take my spot

tacit sandal
#

sending LOCI/ extra materials looks like a risky gamble

#

this is on their website

#

These extra materials haven't been useful in making our admission decisions and allowing optional materials has deterred some people from applying.

worthy anvil
#

Well

#

I just sent mine

#

so

worthy anvil
#

oh

#

My college counselor said to just go ahead and send it

#

that it cant hurt

hey guys for the english test it said: Duolingo English Test
We require at least a 135 overall score and give consideration to those with the following subscores and above: Literacy: 135,
Conversation: 130,
Comprehension: 145,
Production: 113
I got 135 overall but only 140 for comprehension, the other categories are fine. Does that means I have to retake it?

solemn sage
worthy anvil
#

How do I submit my Mid year transcript?

dusky pawn
worthy anvil
#

Yeah but how do they do it

#

so they just send it to the school? Cause I can do that myself

solemn sage
#

You don’t have to do anything

worthy anvil
#

Oh

quasi trout
#

Aare you admitted

it will take a while

is it possible for ed2 decisions to come out before feb 1?

Ed 1 came out on exactly the 15th so 🤷‍♂️

You don’t have an andrewID

The fin aid should just be FAFSA

And you get your finaid result with admission or a bit after admission

worthy anvil
#

Also just for anyone wondering based off of what the guy said about "The deadline to submit LOCI was the 15th" it wasn't.

They added mine to my file.

Cmu would be a vibe

I’d fit in so well

#

Depression and computer science

#

Pretty much describes me

inland crypt
#

im a tepper applicant

#

and cmu seems too boring for me

simple hill
#

i kinda agree CMU seems like a place that is, truly, only studying

#

i feel like the other places i applied to are also hard and studying but tthey also have more vibrant communities

worthy anvil
#

Their cs classes are unique

#

This is the only school I’d really leave Virginia for

inland crypt
worthy anvil

Maybe Berkeley if I got scholarships otherwise not paying $400k for a cs degree lol

simple hill
#

each high school gets to nominate 1 person, then you fill out the app, then you get your app reviewed, if you advance you get a regional interview (sometimes there are subrounds like 2 rounds of interviews), then you advance to regional finalist (and do an interview/other things), if you advance you win 😄

worthy anvil
#

Ahh

#

Yeah my HS didn’t nominate me

#

My counselor don’t like me

simple hill
#

all my regional stuff was conducted over zoom because they were all from the actual big city thats about an 1 1/2 away

I assume that’s where it’s done

simple hill

no

#

there's regions

worthy anvil

ppl who get deferred from ED1 will not get a decision in ED2 right?

I see that on A2C's Decisions Date Calendar for CO2027, CMU EDII came out on 27th January, 2023 9 AM EST on a Saturday

#

I believe it was a saturday for CO2026 as well, perhaps this saturday we get EDII?

ebon hawk
#

😳

lost shore
#

🙏

flat sluice
#

theres a chance but it's also pretty likely it'll be different this year cuz ed1 results were later than the usual saturday date (they came out on dec 15th, the website stated last-possible date vs dec 9 according to prev years) and cmu's still fiddling around with the new portal (ed1 students still cant pay our enrollment deposit despite being told it would be avail mid-jan)

autumn wing
#

yo if someone got in can you send an acceptance letter

#

im gaslighting this sophomore n need one

hardy light
#

interesting, I believe no one has received an email confirming the EDII decision date either so it's probable that it's later and not this saturday

flat sluice
#

yeah we also received no warning before it was released

#

although some people called and received more specific answers

hardy light
#

ah, fair enough, then it could be any day lol

#

can I ask, which major did you apply for?

flat sluice
#

i applied for ece!

hardy light
#

oh, that’s awesome!

#

I applied for mathematical sciences

#

let’s see how it goes

wanton folio
#

y’all last semester i was slacking off and my grade drop that’s why i applied ed2, i just looked at my portal and mid year grade is received. are they gonna check it?? am i cooked??

hardy light
#

It says by Feb 1st, so it could come before too. Also, last year, it came on 28th saturday

#

CMU on their website says that they don't give any inherent boost to ED2 applicants

#

Although I am not sure how much that holds up

#

Ah, I believe they're doing Stats/ML/DS at Dietrich a little differently for our admissions

#

as in, making it more competitive perhaps

#

It is, yeah

#

I am applying Mathematical sciences at MCS

#

Oh dang, yeh i mean, it's not official that they're doing it a little differently this year, it's just what I have picked up from collegeconfidential forum and reddit so I cd be wrong too

hardy light
#

it came out at 9:00 AM EST last year (as did ED1 and RD for Fall 2023) but this year, ED1 came out at 5 PM EST so perhaps in a couple of hours?

#

yeah, ill be fr tho, carnegie isnt on the top of my list, i just kinda applied ED2 cause its something ik im willing to tolerate for 4 years if i do get accepted

#

like im just trying to up my chances

#

oh damn

#

so i kinda just screwed myself LOL

vivid sierra
#

carnegie is pretty transparent abt not giving an ed boost

dusky pawn
#

Uh huh

#

It's sad

zealous glacier
#

with my stats im happy i made it to college LOL

dusky pawn
#

I'm so inadequate here 😭

zealous glacier
#

i honestly wasnt even gonna apply to college

#

until the summer of

#

yeah

#

I just didnt see a point in applying to college

#

yeah I got into my safety

#

and got deferred like everywhere else

#

yeah

#

dawg i got asian parents too, they just didnt see the need for me to go to college cause of what I already do

#

but i kinda just did it to experience college

#

I didnt want not going to college be a regret later in life

cmu is a hellhole in terms of workload and stuff

according to students there

Like high school like

whole crescent

#

I wanted too kms when I took ap bio and ap physics 1

Together

Their test were always on the same day

Eventually I gave up on physics and focused on ap bio cuz I was at a C at one point

#

if u look at common data set the total ed acceptance rate is essentially the same as rd (~12 vs ~11)

#

iirc they also say it somewhere on the admissions website

#

oh its in the apply 2024 booklet

#

also ed2 will probably release 5pm eastern / 2pm pacific cuz that seems to be when cmu's released decisions on weekdays (and it's when ed1 released w/o warning)

last warren
#

so sometime this week

pulsar token
#

no

#

don't get ur hopes up

#

it's gonna be thursday

tribal light
#

assume last day possible

glad remnant
#

When did results come out last year?

#

It will be Thursday

river cedar
#

@wanton folio then we don't expect the results for another 3 days?

wanton folio

#

i think if ur portal already received mid year report, they’ll consider it, if not it’s fine too

#

idek i think that’s most ppl case that they receive it last friday

hardy light
#

they had confirmed to me through email that they have it on file

#

my school hasn't sent mid year yet

#

im not fucked right?

#

zealous glacier

#

Nah

#

It’s like 1% better

vague sonnet
#

cmu is one of them schools that don't give benefit

soft shadow
#

Benefit is negligible

#

Might as well maximize your chances while getting an early notification right?

neon lark
#

thought itd give benefit, genuinely loved the school thats why u would ed right, i didnt ed originally bc the ppl around me kept saying i wouldnt get in but i ended up doing it anyway, and i dont wanna wait until march for a rejection 💀 rather get all my rejections in like january lmao and get it over w

pulsar token
#

lol good question

#

it probably benefits them

#

cuz like financial aid or smth idk

wanton folio
#

i did it for that reason and my counselor sent my mid year report a week before decision released 😒

#

its mainly for theater and art kids im pretty sure

Why would you choose North Eastern Cs over CMU Cs?

well thats if i get rejected

if I get accepted I have to go cause I put ed lol

river cedar

Like my question was do u prefer NE over CMU, if yes then why?

wicked steppe
#

no i don't

#

i prefer cmu ofc but cmu is a lot tougher to get into

river cedar
#

makes sense

wicked steppe
#

im just hoping that I get a final decision or it no longer becomes binding so I can give it to northeastern cause they give a huge boost to ED applicants

#

but ofc if I get in i'd be happy to go to cmu lol

Hoping result comes out soon
