Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) (2023-2024)

[worthy anvil]

😎

[hardy light]

that's cracked

[worthy anvil]

Ong

[hardy light]

SCS missing out

[worthy anvil]

Fr

[pliant pawn]

na he got in ed1

[worthy anvil]

But I got deferred so

🤷‍♂️

[pliant pawn]

everyone else who got deffered at my school has better stats than me 😭

[abstract bobcat]

4.35 with a 1460 am i cooked?

[hardy light]

at least a couple of people got admitted to CoE/SCS

I am yet to see an MCS admit 💀, it was just deferrals/rejections

[worthy anvil]

Idk how I got deferred lol

My essays must’ve been good

[hardy light]

SCS?

[worthy anvil]

Or maybe they just deferred a lot of people

[abstract bobcat]

Unfortunately

[hardy light]

rip

[abstract bobcat]

My second was college of science tho

[worthy anvil]

I pray on all of y’all’s downfall so I can get in

[abstract bobcat]

That helps right

[worthy anvil]

Meh

Sorta

[hardy light]

ah you're RD

[abstract bobcat]

Yea so am i not cooked 😭😭

[hardy light]

if you applied math at MCS for second choice, that's competitive as well 💀

[abstract bobcat]

Uhh uhh i have no knowledge of any of this

[quasi quarry]

someone said they defer all intls

[quartz pendant]

🥲

dios mio

[quasi quarry]

and most intls that got accepted

[worthy anvil]

Doubt

[quasi quarry]

were deferred

[worthy anvil]

Doubt

[hardy light]

i am domestic outside of US though, idk what i am counted as, have a country crisis

[quasi quarry]

ur reviewed with the country of residence

but financial aid wise you are considered domestic

[hardy light]

gotcha

[quasi quarry]

like they be comparing your application with other people in your country

[hardy light]

makes sense but i think most people from my country apply to SCS/CoE

[quasi quarry]

def not more than ppl in the US

[hardy light]

of course

but I doubt regional competition for MCS is that much for me

[quasi quarry]

I mean they dont have to select a person from your region

you gotta be above a certain criteria threshold prolly

then they compare those above the threshold

[hardy light]

let the CMU gods be kind to me

[pliant pawn]

fr

[lusty vale]

Cooked? You think that of me? No, I am the one who cooks.

[tropic garnet]

full pay intls

they love them apparently

[quasi quarry]

fairs

[tropic garnet]

since they arent receiving much back in donations rn

[tropic garnet]

i mean i did get deferred

[storm pewter]

u guys know when cmu comes out?

[outer musk]

oh ya

when do any ofg these schools come out

[fallen pike]

prolly 15th or 22nd

[granite hare]

lokey I regret not applying math + cs for cmu

💀

[lusty vale]

Man I hope I get into CMU

[hardy light]

same

[abstract bobcat]

If i get in its gonna be a sign from a greater power ngl

3.72uw and 1460 is simply not gonna get it done

[worthy anvil]

What major

I would’ve have submitted that 1460 if it’s SCS lowkey 😂

You are probably fine though

[upbeat void]

I submitted 100.8w (on 100 scale) and 1490 sat (800m), yall think thats fine for tepper?

[hardy light]

probs

[stark zinc]

hard to say without knowing essays and ec's

[somber cipher]

i think me getting into cmu is so unlikely lol

ididnt submit any sat or do math competitions

[lusty vale]

me too

not the second part

just that it is unlikely for me

[somber cipher]

Buddy slow ur roll. U got duke and gtech

Wats to worry

[lusty vale]

Neither which I'm that interested in tbh

[somber cipher]

R u serious.Give up Duke for me then

[worthy anvil]

@lusty vale what’s ur major

Just gotta ask

Cause umm

Ur not interested in Dukes full ride??????

[lusty vale]

I intend to attend

but It does "interest" me that much really

[worthy anvil]

Why

No debt?

[lusty vale]

Civil and Enviornmental Engineering

[lusty vale]

Hence why I'll attend

[worthy anvil]

So why doesn’t it interest u

Lol

[lusty vale]

It interests me enough to attend

but I'd prefer elsewhere

[spring badger]

Isn’t Duke a top school for that

[lusty vale]

Yes

I didn't apply to any ivys

[spring badger]

Where would u go if not Duke

[lusty vale]

Like assuming I got in to every school?

because I got rejected from my top choice

[spring badger]

Yeah

[spring badger]

What was it

[lusty vale]

Olin

[spring badger]

I see

[worthy anvil]

Olin College of Engineering

I've never heard of it

[vivid sierra]

😐

[somber cipher]

isnt this school fairly new

ive heard its climbing the ranks. wished i applied. ive honestly heard olin students have an easier time finding internship and jobs

[north otter]

its like a super focused engineering school

idk i never rly liked it that much bc there's not that much flexibility in it

there

[somber cipher]

olin i believe has a n insane connection with tech companies

[north otter]

s like 3 majors: general engineering, mechE, and ECE

[north otter]

yeah im p sure a lot of the olin profs/admin r big players in academia/industry

[fallen pike]

rejected olin but duke likely

wild

[lusty vale]

its a very competitive school

and they have unique admissions criteria

they regularly reject MIT level applicants

[worthy anvil]

lower tier?

[lusty vale]

poor choice of words

[worthy anvil]

Tf is a lower tier applicant? xd

[lusty vale]

I just mean they don't admit based on conventional stats

[worthy anvil]

like ECs

and such?

Not just gpa?

[lusty vale]

they are just very unpredictable

in how they admit

[worthy anvil]

Are they good for CS?

[lusty vale]

They don't have CS

[worthy anvil]

oh

whack asf

most engineering places do

[lusty vale]

They have Engineering: Computing

[worthy anvil]

nah thats mid

[lusty vale]

and it is taught by all MIT CSAIL people iirc

[worthy anvil]

Not a fan of whatever CSAIL is

[fallen pike]

no way

[lusty vale]

They don't use same admission criteria as other schools

[fallen pike]

what’s olin’s yield

[fallen pike]

how so

[worthy anvil]

prolly very high

lol

[lusty vale]

70%+

They make you fly out and do an inperson interview

[worthy anvil]

do they pay for it?

did u fly out?

[lusty vale]

Yes

[fallen pike]

yield is good

[lusty vale]

No

[worthy anvil]

bad

[lusty vale]

Is that pre or post CW

[fallen pike]

admit rate is high

[fallen pike]

?

[lusty vale]

Look at applicants and average stats

[fallen pike]

says those are stats from last cycle

[lusty vale]

You have to go to a in person design competition and pass an interview

[worthy anvil]

Civil War?

[lusty vale]

Candidates weekend

[worthy anvil]

oh i knew that

[lusty vale]

Like 20%

but it is boosted by the fact they don't get many applicants

[fallen pike]

damn average stats are pretty high

[lusty vale]

they accepted 50% of there class as female

[fallen pike]

class is small too

[lusty vale]

and the average applicant has a 1520-1600

[lusty vale]

Yes

[fallen pike]

100 kids in a class

[lusty vale]

Like 390ish

for whole school

[fallen pike]

this is a weird ass school

[lusty vale]

Yes

I wanted to go so bad

its also the highest lifetime earning and starting salary school in the country

[fallen pike]

those are rlly inflated stats lol

harvey mudd has that too

only bc everyone does engineering

[fallen pike]

highest lifetime earnings is wharton by far

[lusty vale]

Mostly because the class size is so small

[fallen pike]

yea

[lusty vale]

No it is scewed because there are <5k olin alums

[fallen pike]

prolly lots of support for students

[lusty vale]

and a few of them have founded billion dollar companies

[lusty vale]

of traditional schools

maybe

but Olin is technically better

but it is a crazy small sample size

of only the most talented people going into one of the highest paying majors

[fallen pike]

who

[fallen pike]

most talented engineers going to mit lol

let’s be fr

[lusty vale]

I met two people there who turned down MIT for Olin

when I visited

it attracts a different kind of applicant

[fallen pike]

maybe it’s good for a certain niche

most mit kids prolly didn’t even apply

[lusty vale]

No it just attracts a very certain kind of person

and that kind of person would pick it over MIT

[fallen pike]

how many olin kids got rejected mit tho

[lusty vale]

its impossible to know

but there are definitely a lot of olin kids who picked it over ivys and other top schools

[fallen pike]

idk about that

[vivid sierra]

bro not everyone is an uber prestige whore

[lusty vale]

literally everyone I met there

[fallen pike]

but is olin better than cornell?

[vivid sierra]

🤡

[lusty vale]

Literally everyone in my first class there who I talked to about admission and chances

got accepted to cornell eng

[fallen pike]

damn maybe ur right then

never heard of the school tho lmao

u applied ed?

[lusty vale]

They don't have ED

I am going to apply again next year

[inland crypt]

Did u appeal

[lusty vale]

No appeal process

[fallen pike]

actual question lol

not talking about overall prestige

just didn’t know the program quality was that high

[vivid sierra]

mb

[fallen pike]

gl

would u take it over cmu?

[lusty vale]

I am more than comfortable turning down MIT or CMU for it

had I gotten in

[fallen pike]

damn

[lusty vale]

would have turned down free tuition at duke for it as well

[fallen pike]

u got a full ride at duke?

[lusty vale]

I got a likely letter

and am a resident of NC who makes <150k

so I qualify for free tuition

[fallen pike]

nice

[lusty vale]

intend to reapply next year for Olin

[fallen pike]

over 0 debt at duke?

[lusty vale]

Yes

[fallen pike]

bro really likes this school 😭

[lusty vale]

Yes

[fallen pike]

you would probably end up with the same job either way

[lusty vale]

Likely

[fallen pike]

wouldn’t it make sense to be financially free earlier

[lusty vale]

For many boston based companies Olin is in the same recruiting tier as MIT

[fallen pike]

over going in debt for the olin name

[lusty vale]

I am more interested in their educational model than that of other institutions

[fallen pike]

yea that makes sense

[lusty vale]

I'd be doing it for the experience not the outcome

[fallen pike]

but outcome wise it would be the same

[lusty vale]

Since they do engineering education in a way that is very different from any other school

[fallen pike]

how so

[lusty vale]

Outcome wise I would be fine no matter where I go

what I'm doing is not competitive

[lusty vale]

No exams, huge focused on project based and applied engineering

[fallen pike]

what major are you again?

sorry forgot

[lusty vale]

Civil and Environmental Engineering

[fallen pike]

damn that’s wild

[lusty vale]

There are more jobs than there are grads

[fallen pike]

lwk might be worth it

gl on transferring

[lusty vale]

Basically every class is a lab

no lectures

teach yourself book material outside of class

[fallen pike]

u probably will get good aid at olin right

if u make < 150k

[lusty vale]

They give all students half tuition

[fallen pike]

then why not just make the tuition half the advertised price 💀

[lusty vale]

And I'll get the rest in need based

[lusty vale]

Many schools do this

its because it actually costs 80k to educate the people

[fallen pike]

but they make it 40k no matter what

[lusty vale]

and it helps them for tax reasons and other things iirc

[fallen pike]

harvard doesn’t do that

they actually charge some ppl 80k

[lusty vale]

Yes

Olin doesn't

[fallen pike]

oh interesting

[lusty vale]

every free tuition or 50% tuition school has a 80k sticker then a 40-80k scholarship they give to everyone

Cooper Union is this way as well

[abstract bobcat]

comp bio and app math

like every other person

[worthy anvil]

Not every other person

Most ppl are CS or engineering lol

But gl

[abstract bobcat]

idk bro ive seen helllllla ppl doin the same

[tawdry shoal]

do they look at ur second major equally as mucha s first?

[abstract bobcat]

someone SAID they do

but idk

[worthy anvil]

They send it to them if u get rejected

[tawdry shoal]

omg im hoping they do 🙏

[worthy anvil]

If ur rejected they send it to another school

[tawdry shoal]

ohhh

[worthy anvil]

Like school or comp sci sends it to melon school of science

Etc

[tawdry shoal]

oh i see tyy

[abstract bobcat]

my sat is 780 math and 680 eng

im just not him at english XD

[lusty vale]

bro is inverse me

[abstract bobcat]

did u apply for sumn non math related

[lusty vale]

No

[abstract bobcat]

o

[lusty vale]

I have 800 800

but when I first took the SAT I got like 800EBRW 600M

[abstract bobcat]

so youre jus calllin me stupid

[lusty vale]

No?

[abstract bobcat]

oh ok

[lusty vale]

I'm just saying I struggled with the math SAT

[abstract bobcat]

bro said inverse me then popped the 1600 XD

[lusty vale]

Yes

but I had like a 1400 with a 800 EBRW and 600M first

[abstract bobcat]

i didnt even struggle with english tho

like i did it

and felt mad confident

then just wasnt

and like id practice and do good

then fold on test day

and i could just never do it

[worthy anvil]

You said you got a 800/800 first try?

[lusty vale]

No?

I got 800EBRW my first try

[patent vector]

Is CMU rd on April 1 this year?

[worthy anvil]

Yes you did

You told me “same” when I said I didn’t have time to take it xD

[lusty vale]

When?

[worthy anvil]

Ohhh

You did it legit this year in November and December

💀

[lusty vale]

What are you talking about

I never said that I got a 1600 on the first try

[lusty vale]

Yes

[worthy anvil]

I’m pretty sure you did 😂

[lusty vale]

Why would I say that?

[hazy schooner]

i dont trust people who can get an 800 in EVBRW

[lusty vale]

in DMs?

[worthy anvil]

Idek

I said I didn’t have time to take it and only took it in December

And you said same

XD

And I said you got a 1600 first try?

[lusty vale]

sorry that was a miscommunication I took it first time in november second time in december

[lusty vale]

where?

[worthy anvil]

Idk lol

But I’m like 99.7% certain I said that (3 standard deviations if yk what I mean)

[lusty vale]

It must have been either one of us not reading eachothers messages very clearly

because I wouldn't have said that I got a 1600 on the first try

[worthy anvil]

Yeah prolly

[lusty vale]

given that I spent like an entire month 6+ hours a day studying

[worthy anvil]

Either way still crazy lmfao

[worthy anvil]

I was gonna do this but just couldn’t force myself to study 7th grade math

I mean I got a 470 on reading so yk

[lusty vale]

I never learned it to begin with 💀

[lusty vale]

how

[worthy anvil]

I had to shit the whole time

I kid you not

[lusty vale]

idk math all my brain went to english

[worthy anvil]

I stood up at the end

So slow

I thought I shit myself or something dude the seat was so warm

[lusty vale]

did you apply t/o

[worthy anvil]

Yeah ofc

Lol

[lusty vale]

or did you apply with your SAT and include that info

[lusty vale]

oh wrong move

should have used the suppl

[hazy schooner]

i would do like perfect for the grammar section but then screw up the reading

[lusty vale]

to talk about that

[worthy anvil]

I didn’t include that I almost shit myself lol

No xD

[lusty vale]

You should see what I included in my app

[worthy anvil]

💀

[lusty vale]

I like to read

maybe that is why

[hazy schooner]

true

[lusty vale]

My GT app is so bad

[hazy schooner]

my parents always told me if i read more then maybe my timing would get better

[lusty vale]

you wouldn't believe they admitted me if you saw it

[hazy schooner]

i never did

[lusty vale]

I struggled with math timeing

was always running out of time

[hazy schooner]

makes sense

[worthy anvil]

Mines amazing

[hazy schooner]

interesting how ppl r diff

[worthy anvil]

Anywhere that let me submit a resume

I’m very confident in

[hazy schooner]

id finish math on time just mess up a bit

[worthy anvil]

My resume is amazing

[lusty vale]

chances are they don't read it from my experience

[hazy schooner]

sat scoring is mean i get 4 math questions wrong like the whole ass test and thats a 770

[vivid sierra]

isnt gt test mandatory

[hazy schooner]

when i hit that i was like ok thats enough

[worthy anvil]

Yes

Not super worried tho

[lusty vale]

I wrote about how I hate atlanta in my GT app

and about the wrong major

[worthy anvil]

💀 wtf are u on about

You got into GT

[lusty vale]

Yes

[worthy anvil]

So I’ve got doubts

[lusty vale]

I've posted the entire thing here before

[hazy schooner]

i know someone who wrote their northwestern supplemental about why northwestern should have an architecture program bc he wants to be an architect

he somehow wasnt flatout rejected

[lusty vale]

I wrote the entire essay like in 30 minutes after doing a campus tour at GT

[hazy schooner]

not interview

tf

supp

[lusty vale]

because I just happened to be in atlanta

I wasn't even planning to apply to colleges really when I did it

it was my first application

[worthy anvil]

You are a walking question mark ong

[lusty vale]

was he accepted tho

[worthy anvil]

So you have a 1600 but didn’t know if you were gonna apply to college

https://tenor.com/view/baby-baby-ready-to-fight-baby-fight-gif-7961841304088689582

[lusty vale]

I got that after I applied to GT

[hazy schooner]

he was deferred and like nw rarely defers

so he's truly a conundrum

[lusty vale]

I submitted my SAT after my application GT lets you do that

[hazy schooner]

im so glad i was done with sat by spring

i was not doing that anymore

[worthy anvil]

Hmm

[lusty vale]

I knew when I started studdying for SAT

I still don't know 100% if I'm going to go or not

rn

[worthy anvil]

Wdym

💀

Tf you gonna do

Work at six flags?

[lusty vale]

leaning heavily towards going, but might not

is free so might just try it out

see if higher education is what I want

[lusty vale]

I'm doing fine without it

I get paid well

I got my own place

I'm comfy

enjoy my job most days

very rewarding

[lusty vale]

idk if that exists here

I've never been to an amusement park

[vivid sierra]

i like roller coasters

i dont like lines

[worthy anvil]

🤔

Oh you graduated high school already

😂

[lusty vale]

You already knew this

I'm pretty sure I've talked to you about my situation

[worthy anvil]

Idrk

I just know ur almost 19 about all I recall

[worthy anvil]

Yeah fair

What’s ur current job in?

[lusty vale]

Agriculture

[worthy anvil]

Ahh

Oh

Aren’t you a farmer or some shit

[lusty vale]

Yes

I live where I work

[worthy anvil]

I didn’t think you were being deadass 💀

[lusty vale]

what?

[worthy anvil]

You’ve mentioned it before and I didn’t believe it I thought you were kidding lol

A developer I used to work with was a farmer

Dude deadass used to farm while coding was such a vibe

[lusty vale]

No.... I'm literally a farmer

Like I work and live on a farm

[worthy anvil]

Family farm?

[lusty vale]

No

[worthy anvil]

Oh so like hired help or is it your farm?

[lusty vale]

R&D Farm am facilities manager

Which basically means I live on site, do farming duties as well as fixing roofs, pipes, etc

[worthy anvil]

Oh that’s cool

[lusty vale]

Basically trades + agriculture

pays very well and I get free housing

[worthy anvil]

Damn

[lusty vale]

Downside is I can never be more than 10 miles away really

Because problems can happen 24/7

[worthy anvil]

Oof so how you going to college? Just gonna quit?

[lusty vale]

Yes

[worthy anvil]

Oof so if you don’t like college ur fucked out of ur job 😂

[lusty vale]

I'll try to work it out with duke such that I can live here instead of dorm, but they might not allow me to do that

If I was at duke it'd be possible for me to keep doing my job

[worthy anvil]

How far away is duke?

[lusty vale]

<10 miles

[worthy anvil]

Could be worth it

Since then you don’t gotta pay for board

[lusty vale]

So I'd still be able to do my job a bit

[worthy anvil]

And you’d be like full tuition

Plus no other costs

[lusty vale]

I don't have to pay board anyways

I'm free room and board

[worthy anvil]

So it’s not just tuition?

So it’s full COA

[lusty vale]

Yeah

[worthy anvil]

damn

[lusty vale]

I don't have the official offer yet

but that is how I assume it'll work out from talking to the finaid office and what I've read

We'll see how it goes

but still praying for CMU, MIT or HMC

[lusty vale]

People underestimate farmers

I know some very educated farmers

[worthy anvil]

Nah that developer was dumb as hell

😂 Bro is a redneck farmer who some how learned to code

[lusty vale]

There are a lot of very smart farmers

It shouldn't be surprising some learn how to code

[worthy anvil]

It’s just a different field

Still requires intelligences so 🤷‍♂️ not too surprising

Different kind of smarts tho

[lusty vale]

I know a lot of people in agriculture who work hard as long as the sun is up

and then just read the rest of the time

[worthy anvil]

Yeah

[lusty vale]

and know a lot about a lot of subjects

others who just do redneck shit

and stay uneducated

[worthy anvil]

Yeah this one did redneck shit

😂

[lusty vale]

Like redneck ee shit

or just redneck dumb shit

[worthy anvil]

Dumb redneck shit

[lusty vale]

like?

[worthy anvil]

Dumb redneck shit 😂

Prolly shouldn’t share that

[lusty vale]

Where is the dumb redneck shit in that photo

[worthy anvil]

Australia

🇦🇺

[lusty vale]

So true

[worthy anvil]

Wdym 💀

[lusty vale]

idk

[worthy anvil]

You sus asf

[lusty vale]

what does that even mean

[quasi wigeon]

do we know rd decision date

[worthy anvil]

Nope

[spring badger]

Last year it was March 25th

I’m gonna guess between the 23-25th

[worthy anvil]

It’ll always be on a Friday

So 23/30

[spring badger]

Last year it was a Saturday

Idk tho

They also posted at 9 am

[hardy light]

It will be a Saturday

[inland crypt]

Hopefully earlier than later

[vague sonnet]

i'm assuming 9am est?

[spring badger]

Yea

[vague sonnet]

alr thank u

[abstract bobcat]

Yall is there any harm in asking the cmu track and field coach for discus even if i havent gotten in yet?

Like talk to them abt it

Cuz im interested in pursuing it into college

And cmu is my top

[lusty vale]

There isn't really a point

[abstract bobcat]

Or is it pointless

Thats my thought

Ok

[lusty vale]

Its too late to be a recruited athlete

and to early for it to be a deciding factor in whether you commit to CMU

[steady remnant]

nah

coaches can still write notes

[tropic garnet]

https://www.instagram.com/p/C4N0ww1tSFe/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

uhh

[empty cape]

decision date??!

[unkempt elk]

no later than April 1.

[quasi quarry]

Yeah that's definitely decision date

Soon

They quoted "posted" too

[tropic garnet]

thats because they put the image of a post

i hope its not day after or next week

[unkempt elk]

aint nobody in the world who can dissect a statement more than a high schooler waiting for decisions

[empty cape]

what was last years date

[unkempt elk]

yall gotta chill

goes and checks the portal

[quasi quarry]

Yeah what else could post mean

[quasi quarry]

It's cause it's there admissions account

Not even the main account

[unkempt elk]

im opening up all my UC apps and u wash every 5 mins

[tropic garnet]

lol

i have no chance for UWash

[unkempt elk]

us

[tropic garnet]

3% CS

intl

[unkempt elk]

im guessing ucla,sd accept and ucb,uwash reject

[tropic garnet]

lol same

which UC will drop this weekend you think?

[blissful mirage]

So when will be that "big announcement" ?

That ig post is weird

[fallen pike]

Maybe the big announcement is test requirements

[abstract bobcat]

Big announcement is prolly that decisions are on april 1

[hardy light]

it was on march 25th last year

this year's saturdays falls on 23rd and 30th march

most likely 23rd, could be 30th considering they had portal problems for ED2

[quasi quarry]

Nah who knows they might release earlier than usual

[hardy light]

you mean... 9th march 💀 or 16th

[quasi quarry]

But this.

[quasi quarry]

Within the next week

If they announce decisions

[abstract bobcat]

What does that mean

Ym like theyre gonna say next year its test required?

Nah they better say decisions out tonight ong

[fallen pike]

Hahaha yup. Just a guess!

[abstract bobcat]

Thatd be cruel

Send a post on admissions to the whole applicant pool, keep em in suspense, then have it be about something irrelevant to them

[spring badger]

I’m gonna cry if it’s just test policy 😭😭

I also cringed so hard at the “posted”

[abstract bobcat]

This thread too quiet ngl

Im in suspense here

How soon is soon

The account has never done an announcment what could be so big

Ahhhh

[spring badger]

LIKE TMR? NEXT WEEK?

[abstract bobcat]

WHAT IM SAYIN

[spring badger]

“We decided to reject every applicant this year because fuck you”

[abstract bobcat]

“Shoutout to [my name] who won the award for worst applicant and will be getting a public rejection!”

[spring badger]

[spring badger]

I replied to them saying “it’s prob test policy” but deleted bc I thought it was mean

[abstract bobcat]

Maybe theyre gonna announce like

Some schools will say early

Like scs

Or sum

[spring badger]

Or maybe it’s about a later commit deadline

[abstract bobcat]

Thatd be cruel

[spring badger]

PLEASEEEE I WANT MY DECISIIN

[abstract bobcat]

I wanna email em and say id rather have college of science my first choice

[spring badger]

Anyways

If they dont announce by tmw morning cmu is a cruel school

[spring badger]

Yeah

[abstract bobcat]

They wont anwaer

They ratiod that one guy

[spring badger]

Eh

No harm

I did it

[abstract bobcat]

Good luck soldier 🫡

[hardy light]

idk if SCS would be one of the early ones since they get the most applicants for SCS

assuming it's about decisions

[quasi quarry]

I did

They said all we can say is check back soon

I asked if I should check back later today and they left me on read

[spring badger]

DAMNNN why r they so secretive

Does cmu do likelies

[abstract bobcat]

Nah i dont think so

[hardy light]

only for their arts majors i think

[lucid cloud]

i can't share too much information but it is definitely before March 25th

this year at least

[quasi quarry]

Its today guys

at 5PM EST

[tropic garnet]

Blud’s trolling

[quasi quarry]

you will see

[worthy anvil]

Why do they tell undergrads 💀

Prolly the 23rd

[lucid cloud]

they dont

[worthy anvil]

Normally they post decision dates a few days in advance

So if they share it might be like a week or so

When’s the date

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-dog-suspicious-look-suspicious-doubt-dog-doubt-gif-23680990

Is it before 23rd?

[quasi quarry]

no in ED1

[worthy anvil]

Yeah not this year

[quasi quarry]

they told us the day before

[worthy anvil]

I was ED1 😂

[worthy anvil]

No they didn’t

They didn’t tell us at all

[quasi quarry]

nah ppl called and they told them the day before

[worthy anvil]

Someone had to call and ask xD

That’s how we knew when it was

[lucid cloud]

whatever happens good luck guys

[quasi quarry]

thanks

[worthy anvil]

So it’s before the 23rd

🤔

[worthy anvil]

🙏 ty

[lucid cloud]

what are you guys applying for

[worthy anvil]

CS 😞

I got deferred

[quasi quarry]

scs

[worthy anvil]

So prolly rejection lol

[quasi quarry]

deferred

[worthy anvil]

What’s ur sat

[quasi quarry]

me?

[worthy anvil]

Ye

[quasi quarry]

wbu

[worthy anvil]

Oh so ur a smart deferred student

I have an 1170

I went T/O

[lucid cloud]

fr?

[quasi quarry]

oh alright

[worthy anvil]

Yeah I have good ECS and stuff tho

[lucid cloud]

damn

good stuff

[worthy anvil]

I think they deferred a lot this year tho scs

So 🫤

My gpa increased my 0.5 tho so might get in 🙏

My LOCI was solid

[lucid cloud]

gl

[worthy anvil]

Ty

[hardy light]

Could I ask something, it has been bothering me quite a lot. I have seen a lot of people get rejected from MCS, a couple deferred but none admitted.

[lucid cloud]

hmm

[hardy light]

any idea why? Or is it that most people here or on CC are just SCS/COE applicants and very few MCS

[lucid cloud]

not really sure about that i dont work with admissions committee

[hardy light]

ah, that’s okay, I was surprised because I thought I would find at least one admit

On A2C or CC but I wasn’t able to

[worthy anvil]

@lucid cloud

When’s the day

😠

[hardy light]

looks like I will just have to wait till RD

[worthy anvil]

I’ll pay rn ong

😂

https://tenor.com/view/रंगबाज़-रंगबाज़फिरसे-money-handing-over-give-gif-15839584

[lucid cloud]

i'll tell you if they give me a ballpark

[worthy anvil]

🙏

[quasi quarry]

do you know what the big announcement is

[worthy anvil]

Decision day for sure

[hardy light]

I think it will be 23rd, Saturday but hey, if it comes on 16th or even 9th, that’s pretty good

[worthy anvil]

Unless they are gonna say they aren’t test optional

[worthy anvil]

9th would be amazing

But doubt it

They give a few days advance

So maybe they’ll announce tmr for next Friday?

[hardy light]

They do? I didn’t get any for ED2

[quasi quarry]

they dont this year

[worthy anvil]

May not this year

New portal

Was unpredictable

Ig

[hardy light]

Only sent an email when there was a status update

[worthy anvil]

I didn’t even get that

💀

[quasi quarry]

yh ED 1

DIDNT

[worthy anvil]

They better not reject me fr

🙏

[lucid cloud]

damn that gives me flashbacks

[worthy anvil]

Bros got ptsd from college decisions

[hardy light]

what’s your major, if I may ask

[lucid cloud]

engineering

[spring badger]

WHAT

[worthy anvil]

Definitely is a big word

Meaning it’s way before

Not like the 23rd or sum

16th/17th or the 9th/8th

🙏

[lucid cloud]

i wouldnt go too far w the assumptions lol i only said that bc i know an admitted student events starts early that day

[hardy light]

interesting

they wouldn't keep a 2 day notice for admitted student events

[spring badger]

its def next week

[hardy light]

yeh i think that would mean it's the 16th

[spring badger]

NOOO

THATS THE DAY I FIND OUT IF I MADE ISEF AGAIN

i needed to update them

honestly its not like im getting in anyways

[hardy light]

did u apply SCS/COE?

[spring badger]

yep scs

its over

[hardy light]

ah

[spring badger]

test opt

[hardy light]

yeh that's kinda rough i think

[spring badger]

yep

idek why im excited

[hardy light]

i had high hopes going into ED2 for MCS but got deferred

[spring badger]

what was ur ed 1

[hardy light]

someone over here got rejected as wel

[hardy light]

i did REA

Stanford 😂

[spring badger]

they dont deserve you 💯💯

[hardy light]

looking back, I should have either done CMU ED1 or Cornell ED

but it's alright

[quasi quarry]

cornell ed

for sure

same

its acceptance rate is higher for ED

[spring badger]

looking back i shouldve done brown / upenn ED instead of columbia

[quasi quarry]

unlike CMU

[rain cypress]

isnt cmu ed same acceptance or nah

[hardy light]

yeah it was around 30% last year i think

[hardy light]

no

[rain cypress]

oh

[hardy light]

CMU is one uni where ED doesn't have much of a boost

[rain cypress]

ye thats what i meant

[quasi quarry]

fr

[rain cypress]

cmu ed has the same acceptance as rd

[knotty saffron]

Yea the boost is very minimal from Ed and the slightly higher acceptance rate is prob self selecting candidates

[hardy light]

CMU has a really good concentration for Math at MCS

which is what inclined me towards it for ED2

although if I had chosen NYU Courant, wouldn't hv gone wrong with that either

[worthy anvil]

So it’s before the 23rd for sure then

Lol

They wouldn’t have an event 2 days after

So it’s soon for sure

[hardy light]

16th likely

[worthy anvil]

🙏

Ye prolly

So UCSD

UCLA

CMU

[hardy light]

but that does bring up a question, why a week earlier than last year, did they get fewer applicants? (I hope so, that means our chaces ⬆️)

[rain cypress]

oh ucla is 16th?

[vivid sierra]

16th feels kinda soon for cmu

[worthy anvil]

Well he said admitted day is 2 days after the 23rd

[hardy light]

on their website, I think it's mentioned by april 1st which generally means around the end of 3rd week or 4th week of march but 16th is smack in the middle

[worthy anvil]

No way they’d release a decision on the 23rd

If they have admitted students day

2 days later

[vivid sierra]

im ready to be disappointed

[hardy light]

yeh admitted student events are ofc travel plan dependent

[worthy anvil]

It has to be the 16th or 8/9

[hardy light]

so 2 days is a very short notice

[lucid cloud]

so many scs

[vivid sierra]

applied eng lol, dietrich 2nd choice

[hardy light]

I have only seen 2 MCS in this chat, one unfortunately was rejected, and I stand on my last limb

[worthy anvil]

I didn’t have a 2nd choice

[hardy light]

yeh

ED doesn't get 2nd choice

[worthy anvil]

Ong if they don’t admit me

I’ll bully my AO

If I don’t get in

https://tenor.com/view/hasbulla-hasbik-cute-meme-influencer-gif-21732737

[abstract bobcat]

I applied second choixe for thT!

[lusty vale]

CMU Soon

[lusty vale]

what makes you say that

[unkempt elk]

so like right now?

[tawdry shoal]

how do you know ?

[unkempt elk]

blud got me reloading the page every minute for the next half hour

[tawdry shoal]

hes trolling

[quasi quarry]

just a guess, and they always release decisions at 5PM EST

[quasi quarry]

no need to go that far💀

[unkempt elk]

but why today

its way too early

[quasi quarry]

why would they put

"Big announcement"

if it were for decisions

they would never do that

[unkempt elk]

could be just trolling

[quasi quarry]

unless they released it abnormally earleir than usual

[unkempt elk]

its not the official account is it

[quasi quarry]

admissions account

[unkempt elk]

fine then no more calculus for tonight

waiting for result

[tawdry shoal]

bro r u srs?

[quasi quarry]

im not sure

just a guess

[unkempt elk]

ya think amma able to focus after that

(just need an excuse to not study)

[quasi quarry]

or they will announce smthing on insta

[unkempt elk]

meh its not comin today

back to calculus

integration my beloved here I come

[lusty vale]

How do you know

I think its gonna come tomorrow

[unkempt elk]

everything is conjecture until proven otherwise

[lusty vale]

Nothing was posted

[unkempt elk]

nothing was going to be posted eitehr

it was just a kid hoping somethign would come

just like us all

[lusty vale]

I mean they made an announcement

so something is going to be posted

[unkempt elk]

could be today

could be tomorrow

could be on march 30th

[knotty saffron]

It’s about to be like “we r test optional!!!!”

[unkempt elk]

yea probably something not related to class of 28 admissions

[warped sundial]

Bro how yk

[spring badger]

last year they announed the decision day 5 days before

[worthy anvil]

Accepted students day is March 25th

[spring badger]

so it has to be the 16th

[worthy anvil]

That means decisions I prior to 23rd aka 16/17

[spring badger]

no way decsions would be a couple days before

[worthy anvil]

Or maybe tmr

Or Saturday

Who knows

[spring badger]

this sat would be crazy

[worthy anvil]

He’s apart of a thing that does the events for accepted students

Yeah would be nice

[spring badger]

no time to process

[warped sundial]

ohh

[lusty vale]

There is more than one accepted students day

at least according to the CMU class of 28 discord

[worthy anvil]

When was their first one

Like for 27
