[unkempt elk]

oh fuck youre old

I meant

ok.

[fallen pike]

Yes. I am an old fart!

[river hedge]

has anyone here still havent received their decision yet?

[tired swallow]

don’t disrespect poopman

[merry folio]

ME

[unkempt elk]

yeah I just realized it says '98 '28

[spice ferry]

what dept?

[river hedge]

go navy beat army 😶‍🌫️

[unkempt elk]

no offese meant haha, congrats to your son, and thanks!

[merry folio]

I applied to Tepper

[river hedge]

this making me MAD. @cmu EXPECT A LENGTHLY EMAIL.

[unkempt elk]

go air force beat both 😶‍🌫️

[river hedge]

oops i thought you said arotc

im blind sorry (thats why i didnt do afrotc)

[unkempt elk]

💀

[river hedge]

LMFAO

[merry folio]

What did u apply as

[river hedge]

dietraich ir

[unkempt elk]

what did you do?

[river hedge]

i think i forgot

[river hedge]

arotc, nrotc, usna, usma

[spice ferry]

scs & is

[merry folio]

did anyone who applied to Tepper get their results yet?

[sharp phoenix]

@unkempt elk what made you think next batch would come in 20 mins

[spice ferry]

apparently alot in the reddit

[merry folio]

that was my second choice

[unkempt elk]

I dont knowo the last 2 names da

[river hedge]

naval acad, westpoint

[unkempt elk]

word of mouoth

[merry folio]

ugh ig it's not abt the school

[river hedge]

fr

i believe in u bro

if i check at 9:30 est and its not there youre getting reported to A2C owner chloe.

[unkempt elk]

ah great
I found out abotu usafa's process about dec 25. No way I was getting a nomination sitting in india in that time
(murican citizen but living in india)**
gl on your stuff!

[spice ferry]

did cmu do this last yr

[river hedge]

🫡 if you want dm me since this is the cmu thread, i can give you some tips/advice on applying next year if you really want to do that

but if you get afrotc it really doesn't matter since youre commissioning as a officer anyways

it just depends on where u want to go to college lol

[unkempt elk]

I'm not sure if I want to "waste" an year per-se, and I like that normal college gives me the required skillset to excel not-in-the-air-force-in-case-I-get-blown-up
Other than that ill keep ye in mind :) Always great to have someone likeminded

[river hedge]

rah 🦅

[unkempt elk]

take a guess

[river hedge]

holy crap

does being in india affect you?

[unkempt elk]

extremely negatively

[river hedge]

do u count as US citizen or a international applicant?

[prisma gull]

you never know maybe cmu will clutch and take you

[unkempt elk]

I do not get the same opportunities as domestic but am considered in the same pool
I wanna watch an murican get two internships and make a lib with 50k downloads after studying 12 hours a day

[river hedge]

ive only been rejected from uchic and waitlisted at another

[unkempt elk]

god damn

[river hedge]

seems unfair

[spice ferry]

did you apply to any more schools? our list is looking the same

[unkempt elk]

no, just those 10

[spice ferry]

ah, do u think you'll stay in india or commit to purdue?

i have the same situation as you

[spice ferry]

if ever things dont work out* which i hope it gets better ofc

[unkempt elk]

lots of factors to consider

lots of variables still

boards result, bits pilani ISA result, afrotc result, other colleges, etc

[summer yarrow]

💀

[little urchin]

has anyone with a last name beginning with S-Z gotten a cmu decision?

[unkempt elk]

more astrolgers have joined the chat 🗿

[little urchin]

astrology major

[olive nova]

I know two

[sharp phoenix]

is there a chance it releases tomorrow morning at 9 am est?

[little urchin]

fuck

[spice ferry]

idt it works that way, my last name starts w an A and i havent gotten anything

[unkempt elk]

the stars have lied to you.

[olive nova]

my last name is early in the alphabet so I don't think it's that

[little urchin]

how unfortunate

[unkempt elk]

maybe they did it alternate, try asking people that

[little urchin]

💀

maybe by social security number

[unkempt elk]

probably by birth

but no im in feb end and I didnt get it

[runic moth]

nyop my friend with last name starting with t didn’t get anything

[little urchin]

i think theyre still rolling stuff out

a friend of mine just got in to tepper

[unkempt elk]

@summer yarrow it better com in 10 mins

[sharp phoenix]

you mean just now?

or at 5pm est

[little urchin]

like 9pm ish

[past ermine]

fr!?!?!

[north otter]

most likely your applciation is read by the AO for india

[sharp phoenix]

ok wait then theyre still rolling?

or actually they mightve checked the decision late too

[north otter]

im in the exact opposite situation lol

[unkempt elk]

imagine the AOs didnt finish their work on time and now they're just live updating the portal reading every app in 60 seconds speed run

[little urchin]

so im guessing its released recently

[unkempt elk]

probably

[summer yarrow]

Frfr

[sharp phoenix]

👀 ok its still rolling maybe...

[little urchin]

all-nighter moment

[summer yarrow]

I'll sleep for a while if it doesn't

[north otter]

rly ur citizenship status mainly matters for finaid

[unkempt elk]

thats a lie

[north otter]

well ig cmu doesnt even give finaid for intls

[somber cipher]

No decisions today now?

[unkempt elk]

lots of colleges have radical difference in AR for intls

[north otter]

yes but thats based off where you go to school

[summer yarrow]

Ye they have a cap on the num of intls they take so

[unkempt elk]

need to have diversity
just the right amount of diversity

[north otter]

from what i can tell, a US student abroad is likely to be treated similarly as another applicant from the area (in that they have the same readers and stuff)

but different wrt finaid

[unkempt elk]

we will never know

[north otter]

i mean ive emailed admissions offices at a few places

[river hedge]

has anyone that's 6'2, asian-american, 10+ million in the bank, owns 3 ferraris, 1 lambo, single and looking, gotten results from cmu yet? or is it just me that's waiting?

[tacit sandal]

Im waiting to dw

[gray bolt]

Me

[north otter]

ur not getting it cuh

ngmi ahhhhhhhh

[river hedge]

wtf man

[finite anvil]

omg we got the same list and same results.

[north otter]

purdue likes intls i think

[unkempt elk]

I wonder why

[finite anvil]

more unis shld learn from purdue

[unkempt elk]

god dam hmu in dms with yo resume

[north otter]

purdue kinda musty thoe...

[void relic]

i think nonzero chance all acceptances havebeen given out

[unkempt elk]

musty dusty rusty idc they goat for giving me a chance

[foggy horizon]

im actually tweaking i just want my decision

[unkempt elk]

agreed

[north otter]

cmu is evil for this

they shouldve just released everything tomorrow

[void relic]

i literally don't know a single math person whos gotten an acceptance to math so ihnc who these acceptances are going to

[unkempt elk]

yeah.

[north otter]

https://tenor.com/view/evil-world-live-in-future-gif-13620011

[sharp phoenix]

its actually astonishing no one got waitlisted here

[north otter]

maybe they're holding the WL for last lol

[unkempt elk]

realistically, im not gettin in.

[foggy horizon]

smn on the a2c subreddit said they did

[fallen pike]

and cmu!!! it worked out 😁😁

[plush spruce]

congrats!!

[unkempt elk]

congrats

why not slide over your ucla acceptance to me thanks you wont be needing that

[foggy horizon]

congrats

[fallen pike]

are they still withholding your decisions??

[plush spruce]

YES

[unkempt elk]

unfortunately so

[fallen pike]

like an hour later????

[merry folio]

yupp

[fallen pike]

what the hell

[unkempt elk]

@summer yarrow it better come in a minute

[summer yarrow]

It better

[void relic]

who? x_x send link

[summer yarrow]

[sharp phoenix]

an hour later? more like 4 hours later

[merry folio]

maybe it's the waitlist kids they releasing tmrw

[sharp phoenix]

theres no way im getting waitlisted

[merry folio]

I'm pretty sure no one got waitlisted here and on reddit

[sharp phoenix]

rejected if anything lol

[signal dune]

Lmaoo they said no 😭

[sharp phoenix]

100% sure cmu still does waitlist?

[unkempt elk]

@summer yarrow im giving you 2 mins grace

[sharp phoenix]

please 2 mins 🙏

[foggy horizon]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1ad4va0/comment/kv2o7h5/

[past ermine]

I'll take wait list ONG

[spice ferry]

it came out?

[past ermine]

but like I feel like that's too many wait lists

[spice ferry]

bruh

[past ermine]

nah I'm just saying if it does come tmrw

[foggy horizon]

that would be so evil of them

[spice ferry]

will it though

[sharp estuary]

anyone get in tepper?

[sharp phoenix]

the first guy who said accepted to cmu in this chat got in for math @unkempt elk

[sharp estuary]

is that at lsa

i mean cas*

[unkempt elk]

neat

[sharp estuary]

i mean main college

[sharp phoenix]

yeah

[unkempt elk]

anyways im off to sleep, 7 am and I havent slept the whole night
supposed to come at 0230 idk what they playing at

[sharp estuary]

tuff

[river hedge]

@unkempt elk you lied to me, no cmu results./

[sharp estuary]

if i go to tepper and want to transfer to main college is that guarnateed?

[hardy light]

230 am?? wtf

[past ermine]

playing with our dreams

[north otter]

mellon college of science

[unkempt elk]

bully @summer yarrow

[sharp estuary]

thats a cool name

[river hedge]

@mods theyre spreading misinformation in this thread.

[sharp estuary]

can u trasnfer from any school to college of science?

[unkempt elk]

loool

[north otter]

usually

[hardy light]

Yes but it’s hard

[unkempt elk]

my astrolger was wrong

[sharp estuary]

damn how

[north otter]

mcs isnt that competitive

[hardy light]

especially SCS

[wicked ridge]

does not out mean you’re not an immediate reject/accept

[north otter]

its usually engineering and scs

[sharp estuary]

oh

[sharp phoenix]

doesnt mean anything

[foggy horizon]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1ad4va0/comment/kv1tnwx/

[midnight crane]

.... weren't u also accepted to mit 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[hollow belfry]

does cmu notify when decisions come out

[tacit sandal]

No

[spice ferry]

no apparently

[sharp estuary]

bro i just dont understand why tepper is ranked 7 undergrad above cornell and uva mcintire is 12

[foggy horizon]

some people got decisions without email

[sharp estuary]

i got my decision with no email

[north otter]

ngl i really doubt tepper is that good but

[summer yarrow]

Stfu

[north otter]

maybe im a hater

[unkempt elk]

lwdya

[wheat ether]

anyone got any idea when cmu eng droppin?

[sharp phoenix]

did you get in?

[summer yarrow]

It's 920 for cmu rn

[hardy light]

Tepper is ranked 18th I think in business? Which is not bad, it’s decent

[unkempt elk]

bro ill slap you da

nobody sitting at 9:30 pm releasing results

but aight 10 more mins

[summer yarrow]

Lmfao, nah go sleep

Probably gonna come tomorrow

[unkempt elk]

eh ill get breakfast

[north otter]

oh yeah its def good i just dont think it would be in hypsm/w/mich/chicago level which is what #7 implies

[spice ferry]

it's alr 9:30

[hardy light]

Yeh of course

[spice ferry]

it's not coming

prob

[unkempt elk]

its coming on ivy day im going to hibernate for two weeks now

[hardy light]

It will probably come tomorrow because they have released on Saturdays before or straight next week or the week after r

[sharp estuary]

in undergrad its 7

[fallen pike]

yes sir!! for cs 😁😁

[hardy light]

Sweet

[hardy light]

Tepper is defo good no doubt, you will be very happy there

[north otter]

oh yeah business rankings r weird

theyre wildly diff btw ugrad and grad

[sharp estuary]

idc if im happy i want money

sorry that was rude

[hardy light]

It’s alright, I am already at a sky high with ucla, nothing can piss me off rn 💀

[north otter]

avg business major

[north otter]

blud finna meet tery tao

[hardy light]

fr

[north otter]

wait did u get cmu math?

[noble kindle]

Where is it

[hardy light]

nah I was deferred so didn’t get decision today

[noble kindle]

Has anyone gotten CMU

[past ermine]

let me in cmu

[wispy snow]

wait how does that work

[north otter]

huh isnt today RD??

[noble kindle]

Did they lie or something

[north otter]

getting deferred from RD is insane 😭

a few ppl got it

[wispy snow]

deferred from ed

theres no rd defer

[north otter]

huh deferred ppl r considered seperately???

[spice ferry]

no

[wispy snow]

idk

[hardy light]

ED deferred students didn’t get decision today

[wispy snow]

thats what im asking

[wispy snow]

when do they get

[north otter]

i mean wl lowkey = rd defer

[hardy light]

Probably next week

[wispy snow]

what

[north otter]

thats insane tho

bc it means yall r in a diff pile

[wispy snow]

ion wanna wait for this shit

[north otter]

cmu ed is feelsbadman

[wispy snow]

aiyah

this is annoying

[midnight crane]

wow... congrats!

idk what u did in highschool to get in legit everywhere, but whatever that was you clearly deserve it lol

[fallen pike]

honestly i think its because i didnt focus on CS at all

i was very political science heavy and i think thats what made me stand out

esp when i suddenly put down i wanted to do cs

[flint basin]

CONGRATS

[midnight crane]

that's interesting, did you always have a clear idea that you wanted to do cs, or were you focused on poly sci and decided cs later down the line?

[sharp phoenix]

thats interesting

[wispy snow]

wtf strong

[sharp phoenix]

especially if cmu admitted you for cs i thought theyd at least expect the majority of your app to be cs related

[wispy snow]

share with me some of your strength

[vale fjord]

any speculation as to when cmu could reject me?

[plush spruce]

wait so do u have a lot of cs experience

[lusty vale]

Good question

[sage oriole]

wait did CMU come out again?

or no

[plush spruce]

cus im kinda in the same boat my ecs are not very cs heavy

[empty horizon]

To some applicants, not all

[loud cape]

will the next batch be tomorrow

[lusty vale]

My ECs are stacked for CS, but I want to do engineering lol

[sage oriole]

I mean after the first wave was there another

[lusty vale]

No

[sage oriole]

fuck this dumb shit burh

spring break lowk ruined

[true kiln]

whens the next wave coming out?

[outer musk]

yo where is the rest 💀

this is ridiculous

[lusty vale]

The rest are rejects

[outer musk]

oh

[sage oriole]

rip

[outer musk]

LMAO

oh well

[sage oriole]

3 rejections today then

GG

[sharp phoenix]

the rest arent rejects 😂

[lusty vale]

Trust

[fallen pike]

almost none—not a single comp sci ec

[outer musk]

yea probably rejects 💀

[sage oriole]

yup

[fallen pike]

rooting for u!!!

[lusty vale]

I doubt it

[outer musk]

no shot 38 people got in 12 rejected though

[sharp phoenix]

you guys are forgetting this server is a ridiculously biased sample

[lusty vale]

Tis

[sharp phoenix]

most people here are gonna get in

[outer musk]

nah but 11% acceptance rate just in general 💀

[sharp phoenix]

thats why its so skewed

[outer musk]

like ucla was still heavily rejected

[sharp phoenix]

most people that join this server are probably stellar applicants that legitimately have a strong chance

and stare at their portals all day

[chrome fulcrum]

Indeed

[sharp phoenix]

it wasnt surprising that the # of acceptances surpassed # of rejections

[sage moon]

the poll results from tonight are unusually skewed towards acceptances this time around

a2c acceptances are higher but this is insane

[sharp phoenix]

i expected it too before it even came out

[outer musk]

yea 3:1 is

definitely not normal

[chrome fulcrum]

They are doing rolling admissions. Probably gonna change

[sharp phoenix]

yes 100% true

people that got rejected wont feel like putting that on the poll

[outer musk]

nah but for my other schools

they were mostly rejected

[wispy snow]

🥺 🙏

[sharp phoenix]

also you dont 100% know if the reactions are legitimate or not

[static peak]

Any current cmu students here?

[sharp phoenix]

im assuming most of them are because it would seem scum to lie lol

[outer musk]

what why 💀

[wispy snow]

nah

im weak as flip

[sharp phoenix]

im also weak

[cinder sequoia]

are they out yet or

[spiral cave]

No

[outer musk]

that's dedication to track them 💀

[sharp phoenix]

im like an avg applicant too lol but i check portals just as much and still pray i get in

[sage moon]

uchicago and mit would disagree

[cinder sequoia]

when are they gonna be out by lmao

[upbeat void]

Hard not to feel like they released MOST acceptances early on

[sharp phoenix]

yeah ik what a bloodbath

[sage moon]

uchicago was

[spiral cave]

I wish I knew

[fallen wind]

was there another wave

[sharp phoenix]

no

[sage moon]

crazy
4A/33W/33R

[sharp phoenix]

feell like it might come tomorrow

[fallen wind]

only one at 5pm?

[sharp phoenix]

at 9 am est

[vale fjord]

Yo yk what would be diabolical? If a college released 25% of their decisions at a set time and let the other 75% wait for an unspecified amount of time for decidions 🔥🔥💯

[spiral cave]

I'm assuming it will come soon. The email specifically said they would come out 3/15

If they meant to do it over multiple days I think they would've said that

[sharp phoenix]

its gotta be multiple days

doubt they would release a decision later today

im guessing just one more day though

[urban dome]

they said "start on 3/15 then roll out over the rest of march"

[spiral cave]

Actually I take that back. They said begin releasing 3/15.

[sage moon]

Word is that they roll out for the rest of the month

[sharp phoenix]

wish they just released all of them today cause the portal wasnt even laggy or slow on my side 😭

[sage moon]

Wouldn't be surprised if they weren't done deciding some people's applications yet

[sharp phoenix]

i had to upload an updated mid year transcript last week so

[full kite]

the fuck

the fuck is this ratio

[sharp phoenix]

a2c students

[urban dome]

no

even a2c students are usually only a little bit more than acceptance rate

[sage moon]

^

[spiral cave]

Does anyone know everyone who has gotten a waitlist??

[urban dome]

for example, cmu ed2 they had like 20% acceptance rate

[long pollen]

its the people they want to release first wave

[sage moon]

the rejections are gonna pile in later probs

[long pollen]

yeah

[sage moon]

not to say that you've been rejected if you haven't gotten your decision yet

[spiral cave]

I really don't think it's random if there are 0% waitlists...

[long pollen]

yeah

i think they released today ppl who they thought mightve got into mit

[sage moon]

idk why im so invested in this i didn't even apply

[long pollen]

at least for cs

[long pollen]

lmao

[urban dome]

I don't think they think that much into it

[long pollen]

at least its ppl who are definite yes

[urban dome]

that would the require the AO deciding, for every app if they think that the student would get into MIT in addition to whether they should be admitted

[static peak]

When does cmu qatar come

[long pollen]

or just releasing the top of the top

[urban dome]

they don't rank accepted applications though

[sage moon]

nah it's not worth the effort for aos to think about that

it's more likely that the ppl who are qualified for mit also get into cmu

[long pollen]

what i meant

[sage moon]

or maybe a cmu ao is stalking this discord and seeing who got into mit /j

[long pollen]

from my understanding they usually release later, there must be a reason for why they changed it all

[hardy light]

I am pretty sure I saw a MIT admit and Duke likely student not get their decision today

[urban dome]

yeah, I was wondering why the early release as well

[urban dome]

tbf none of that means that they would even be accetped to CMU much less be a top admit there

[sage oriole]

a stanford admit too

[hardy light]

Of course yeah

[sage oriole]

but if I'm not getting into UCSD or GT or UCLA or Upenn

CMU is a fucking longshot

[old hawk]

Git vs cmu?

[sage oriole]

it's over

[hardy light]

But I mean we really can’t ascertain how CMU decided whom to release today

the only certain thing is that not a single deferred student got a decision

[fresh wagon]

I’m in the same position idk what to do

[wispy snow]

guyz

[merry jolt]

cmu

[wispy snow]

pray for gtech next week

give up on cmu

[merry jolt]

well actually idk gtech is good too

[fervent ginkgo]

💪

[old hawk]

Gtech gender ratio messed up lol

[long pollen]

i just hope i get my rejection soon i can't wait for it to randomly appear in the next two weeks

[old hawk]

Main issue

[fresh wagon]

Both are good i honestly have no idea what to do

I’m lost

[urban dome]

is it heavily male?

[fresh wagon]

Yep

[wispy snow]

wtf is this strength

[fresh wagon]

?

[sage oriole]

i need it to come rn

[wispy snow]

?

[sage oriole]

so I can like take all ths BS at once

[tawny moon]

yo so how much of cmu has come out

[wispy snow]

aiyah

stupid cmu

[urban dome]

my personal impression is that a smallish percent of total applications have come through but they've released more acceptances than rejections so far

[long pollen]

if i get ivies, cmu, and umich back in the span of 3 days i dont know how ill handle that

[wispy snow]

just 🐻 with it

[fresh wagon]

!ivyday

[copper flower]

actually getting trolled

[fresh wagon]

What’s the command

!ivy

[old hawk]

Has compsci been released? Or is it sorta random mix

[wispy snow]

!ivies

[fresh wagon]

Bruh

[tawny moon]

yea ik that but like i cant wait until eom. so like i gotta know when im getting it

[long pollen]

my friend got in for cs

[finite anvil]

can the next round come this weekend or is it gonna be next friday now

[fresh wagon]

Some scs have been released

[long pollen]

i doubt it will be this weekend

[urban dome]

unfortunately nobody knows for sure

why can't you wait? do some colleges require you to commit beforehand?

[long pollen]

it would be so messed up if they did only two waves one now and one eom

[knotty saffron]

Honestly I feel like cmu rolled out basiclaly the equivalence of likely letters to increase the yield of their top applicants or smth but it’s prob not all the applications (theory 💀)

[urban dome]

why would they releaes any rejections at all then?

[long pollen]

maybe it's random, maybe it's people who passed the committe first, maybe so that they don't release only acceptances

but i dont know why else theyd do it this way other than for yield

[cinder sequoia]

has anyone that's gotten their decision get a mail?

[vivid sleet]

that's a good point

[urban dome]

hmm, are the people who got their acceptances today top applicants?

[long pollen]

my friend is the valedictorian of our school thats the only anecdotal evidence i have

but im sure thats not the case for every single admitted student

[full kite]

so in conclusion its over

if 75% of the results today were acceptances it probably means that they released a fair bit of acceptances today

[tawny moon]

wait so 2 batches so far? what percent of applicats? whats the acceptance rate so far?

[loud cape]

I thought it was just one batch

[long pollen]

wait whats second barch

yeah

[silver trench]

wait does anyone have the CMU 2028 admitted students discord server or smth?

[upbeat kernel]

Check pinned message

[silver trench]

ohhhh tyty

[simple hill]

so like

[soft shadow]

When is the second bath 😭

[simple hill]

when does second wave come lmao

[soft shadow]

Like tomorrow 9 AM??

[lethal bridge]

9am what

[upbeat kernel]

Anyone's guess

[soft shadow]

Bro I’m so sad after LA I need CMU to hit or something

[vale fjord]

Next friday at 4:99 PM

[soft shadow]

😭 😭

[long pollen]

my guess is also that next batch will be next friday

[urban dome]

so it's never coming then

[long pollen]

lmao

[stoic nexus]

next friday is too far 😕

[soft shadow]

USC CMU 💀 back to back Ls

Imagine

[olive nova]

I know someone who got in for math, and I also know someone who applied for math and hasn't heard back yet

[cerulean crow]

when r we epecting next wave

[loud cape]

Will the next wave be tomorrow

[upbeat kernel]

It's really odd

[trim sand]

Can ask the CMU chat when the next batch of decisions come out?

[upbeat kernel]

IDK if it's related or coincidence or whatever since ppl from all colleges have been accepted online but maybe the order is just random

[upbeat kernel]

It's closed I think

Prolly till monday

[cerulean crow]

keep me updated

[empty cape]

i hope i jus need something good after my rejection from ucla

[fast mesa]

cmu is acc messed up for making us wait for rejections

[cerulean crow]

ikr

[flat thorn]

I'd say tepper

[void relic]

i think all future waves are going to be rejections sadly ;-;

[cerulean crow]

nooooo

[flat thorn]

I think so because there were a LOT of acceptances today

[void relic]

apparently usamo & being 1 pt away from MOP is not enough for cmu math now (sample size of 4) ;-;

[loud cape]

Good things will happen to you very soon :-)

[fast mesa]

someone at my school got in and hes only an aime qual 😭

[cinder thorn]

what more do they want, and what about those who dont even have that opportuniy

[late abyss]

ive never taken a math comp in my life and got into cmu math, they don't care at all

[fast mesa]

i dont think competition results are super indicative of anything

[subtle pawn]

does any1 know how cmu decision releases have worked in past years this rolling decision release is quite strange

[cinder thorn]

its very differernt now than before

from what ive seen

[late abyss]

i think they released all of them on the 25th? but this year it's rolling between 15th and 31st

[void relic]

i have no clue

[nova moth]

is cmu still selective

[summer yarrow]

Even UCs don't have "rolling" decisions

[nova moth]

or are they releasing acceptances first

[tawny moon]

cmu is mean for giving us a 15 day rolling period

[subtle pawn]

so some ppl may ahve to wait 2 weeks for a decision?

[summer yarrow]

Yeah ofc, it's like rank 2 for cs, ai ml

[late abyss]

yeah unfortunately

[nova moth]

i phrased that wrong

i mena like have they become less selective

[subtle pawn]

why are they doing this wth

[cinder thorn]

maybe theyll understand

[cinder thorn]

mind games

[summer yarrow]

They've become more selective infact

[nova moth]

oh wow

[cinder thorn]

theyre playing with your mind

[summer yarrow]

They've probably recieved way more apps this year than the previous years

[nova moth]

😭

wait so r they doing the thing where they roll out acceptances first and then waitlists and then rejections

[summer yarrow]

We don't know yet

[river hedge]

everyone that i know that got a decision at 5PM EST today were rejections

take that how you will

[chrome fulcrum]

prob

[remote meteor]

[halcyon patio]

everyone i know that got it got rejected today so idts

[void relic]

I think this might be a victim of small sample size. The poll indicates that the vast majority of people who got decisions got accepted (and like a ton of people got accepted.)

[river hedge]

i can click "accept" without any repercussions or verification

[quaint turret]

could someone share the poll for today's admission decisions?

[river hedge]

its a simple question: do i trust a2c or people that i know in person?

[river hedge]

its in pins

[river hedge]

when trying to stress that being gloom and doom isn't going to lead anywhere: "i think all future waves are going to be rejections sadly ;-;"

as long as you haven't been rejected/waitlisted, you're still as competitive as anyone for an acceptance

[ebon scaffold]

does CMU try to strive for geographic diversity?

[river hedge]

why waste time worrying about it and thinking of what ifs

[trim sand]

Did anyone from CFA get their results?

[empty cape]

thank u ❤️

[halcyon chasm]

Did anyone deferred from ed1 get their decision?

[olive nova]

qualifying for USAMO is wildly impressive and actually indicative of skill whereas college apps are not. I hope you are all very proud of yourselves!

[quaint turret]

i was deferred from ed2 - haven't received a decision

[void relic]

idk i thought htat cmu was my one best chance to get into a selective college; they historically have liked math competitions,and I think my cmimc app had my best essays. iv kinda lost all hope that i will get anywhere better than my state school now

[quaint turret]

so we for sure that ed deferrals come out later?

[pulsar token]

Is it still March 31 for decision

[quaint turret]

i believe so because that's what our decision letter said right?

none of the ed deferrals from my school have received a decision too

[nova moth]

everyone i know that got it today got in ;sob

[river hedge]

no one ik that's heard back has gotten in lmfaoo

[nova moth]

damn okay 😭

[river hedge]

0 people from my school has gotten in yet

[nova moth]

5 or 6 from mine got in

[river hedge]

out of like 20-30 that's heard back

[nova moth]

but only 5 or 6 heard back

[high robin]

we have like 3 that heard back from our school today. 1 admitted and 2 rejected

[olive nova]

I would be flabbergasted if USAMO qualifier does not pique interest of other admissions officers

in terms of cmu, I know someone who just got in for math who is definitely less math-savvy than you. so you should feel good about your math abilities, they are not directly correlated with whether or not you get in

[lavish jetty]

have all acceptances already been sent out

[inland crypt]

No

[nocturne ermine]

AHHHHHHHHH

I GOT IN

[empty cape]

they r out again?

[unreal scroll]

i hope not but seems like it LMAO

[nocturne ermine]

No I’m in India so I just woke up rn and checked

[long pollen]

congratss

[void relic]

i think so

[nocturne ermine]

Tyyyy 🤩

[sage oriole]

actually?

all acceptances are out?

[void relic]

2/3 of the moppers iv heard from did not get the acceptance. The one who did had a very significant legacy

[past ermine]

ik someone who got in just a few mins ago

[unreal scroll]

i think they were planning to release them all today but they were struggling w systems and stuff so they prob wanted to get the acceptances out of the way cuz thats more important than telling ppl they got rejected cuz theres no way theres a 75% acceptance rate rn 💀

[nocturne ermine]

Idts a few of my friends also applied and they’ve got stronger apps than me…they still haven’t received a decision

[cerulean crow]

act?

[past ermine]

yee

[lavish jetty]

yea its so over

[sage oriole]

checked a few min ago

[cerulean crow]

dammit

[past ermine]

I think update

[sage oriole]

or got their acceptances a few min ago

[cerulean crow]

joever

[sage oriole]

yeah that's gg

[left lantern]

Guys I fell asleep about 6 hrs ago, all I know is there was a wave of decisions at 5 pm est, did another wave come or no?

[unreal scroll]

no

[sage oriole]

nothing rteally

[storm pewter]

don’t think anyone was waitlisted yet

[simple hill]

bane of my existence

[void relic]

tbh from what iv heard i think either cmu does not care at all abt oly or they yield protect because mit is poaching everyone

[storm pewter]

might be a big possibility of waitlists next wave?

[empty cape]

damn didnt get in 😦

[cerulean crow]

my least fave text of all time

[empty cape]

if waves r like this

[storm pewter]

where is that

[cerulean crow]

[storm pewter]

[river hedge]

[sage oriole]

[unreal scroll]

[storm pewter]

😔

[spice ferry]

what dept/major

[storm pewter]

IS

[spice ferry]

i did scs first & is 2nd, i didnt see alot of people get accepted from those yet

majorly engr & tepper so idk

[storm pewter]

i saw one IS i think

[quasi lily]

All acceptances aren’t out cause I’m still gonna get in

[spice ferry]

yeah but compared to the multiple engr acceptances, idk how cmu is doing it but the dept is probably a big factor

[unreal scroll]

W energy

[mystic mulch]

what link

[long pollen]

https://admission.cmu.edu/apply/update

[mild nymph]

GUYS I GOT IN BOTH UCLA AND CMU

[empty cape]

[tropic garnet]

Congrats! What major?

[mild nymph]

[stuck helm]

I got rejected from both lmao 💀

[spring summit]

What's a realistic decision time for everyone who hasn't gotten them yet?

[full kite]

girl how would any of us know we don't work at the admissions office

[vale fjord]

Carnegie Mellon if you can hear me right now please save me

[tropic garnet]

Probably next week

[spring summit]

Damn I thought this had happened before with some other schools and I could get an estimation at least

If it's next week I have like 5 decisions that week and I'll be on the other side of the country

[ashen sparrow]

now i have become rejection, destroyer of dreams

[full kite]

well it's cmu's first time doing rolling admissions

so no, we can't make any predictions

[cinder thorn]

why we gotta be the guinie pigs

[full kite]

because they felt like it

[ashen sparrow]

[full kite]

[oak dew]

No way

[cinder thorn]

"

[full kite]

[sharp estuary]

[steep bolt]

exactly when they said it'd be

[full kite]

all good

that SAM kid is just capping for no reason

[cinder sequoia]

has anyone tried emailing the admissions dept for cmu or are they like not reachable cuz friday evening?

[steep bolt]

that was probably the first wave or whatever

[full kite]

girl why would they update the portal at midnight

[ashen sparrow]

wait

i am sending the ss

[full kite]

stop the cap

[steep bolt]

you sure it wasn't at 2pm pst/ 5pm est?

[full kite]

when did this show up

yeah it was probably the 5 pm one no way they release at midnight

[ashen sparrow]

no cap

[full kite]

and why is bro not sending the actual letter

[spring summit]

Imagine if they did though

[full kite]

why would they

[ebon scaffold]

yeah this gotta be cap

[ashen sparrow]

u want to see me get rejected

[spring summit]

Cause they felt like it

[ebon scaffold]

so many more people would be freaking out about it

[full kite]

exactly

this megathread would be going crazy rn

it's probably just the same update as the one from 5 pm

[bold bolt]

not a single waitlist goddamn

[ebon scaffold]

yeah there was like 100+ messages/min for the 5pm

[ashen sparrow]

maybe u got accepted

[full kite]

bro is unironically a bot

[ashen sparrow]

they will come to ur home and give u a surprise bomm bamm

[left lantern]

Can a new wave come on the weekend or is Monday the only option

[spring summit]

I think there's a bunch of applications they have no idea what to do with yet so they're saving their wait-list till the very end

[full kite]

^

[ashen sparrow]

plum u r no ones bestie

[warped sundial]

maybe it was a mostly acceptance wave

[ashen sparrow]

no

[full kite]

i'm just calling out ur cap for saying that they released a new wave

[bold bolt]

yeah i think next wave going to be much tougher and much more waitlists

[warped sundial]

yes

[full kite]

yeah probs

[ashen sparrow]

no i got it yesteday i mean 5pm ET

[spring summit]

Honestly after getting rejected from all the UCs I'll take a wait-list here at CMU

[full kite]

oh so what was the point of this convo

[ashen sparrow]

fun

[warped sundial]

any heinz school decisions

[ashen sparrow]

no cap tho

[sturdy heart]

can everyone still see this link

https://admission.cmu.edu/portal/admitted_tartan_visit

[ashen sparrow]

yeah

[manic urchin]

I got into CMU but I genuinely forgot what major I applied for.

[solemn sage]

Doesn’t matter, it’s admit by school anyway

[sturdy heart]

[full kite]

pop off king!

[sturdy heart]

from pc

[warped sundial]

nah

[cinder thorn]

maybe

[sturdy heart]

so does anyone have a sc of accpetance?

[solemn sage]

Why do u need it lmao

[oak dew]

did more waves come out?

im still waiting 💀

[manic urchin]

I got in around 4, not a new wave.

[empty horizon]

I don’t think more waves will come out today

[loud cape]

Ugh

[oak dew]

yeah, not like the AOs are gonna wake up at 1am and release

[empty horizon]

Ye exactly

[loud cape]

Maybe they will release in the afternoon again

[oak dew]

(hint hint AOs that's exactly what you should do, troll everyone)

[oak dew]

they prob also won't do it on the weekend

sad

[loud cape]

Noooooo

So I have to wait until Monday

[oak dew]

I have to study for a chem test while AOs can do nothing

Makes me jealous

[olive nova]

holy cow

[loud cape]

What’s a mopper

[patent vector]

Do we have an idea when the next day of judgement is?

And why the decisions are staggered this year?

[long pollen]

no

and we don't know

[wispy snow]

imo camper

dont tell me cmu is acceptance today rejection tmrw

am i doomed

[storm pewter]

nah there were acceptances and rejections today

[wispy snow]

oh ok

[storm pewter]

no waitlists tho; maybe waitlists tmrw? not sure

hopefully not..

[wispy snow]

i js havent seen anyone rejection today

[storm pewter]

there was a poll

💀

[wispy snow]

[lime gazelle]

Do you guys know when it’ll be out for everyone else? I I got my decision at 2pm today but almost no one else I know did

[wispy snow]

not sure

its time to move on from cmu

in gtech we trust

[manic urchin]

Gregtech: New Horizons? 🙃

[wispy snow]

🧐

[manic urchin]

That joke would've killed if you knew what obscure reference I was making.

[ashen sparrow]

before that comes jhu

[shrewd swallow]

More like gregtech: new hell

[mystic mulch]

Who applied to tepper

[simple hill]

So like last year did CMU roll?

[ashen sparrow]

ig by looking at the reaction videos

[noble kindle]

Uh has no one gotten decisions yet

[fallen pike]

only one wave so far right?

[stark needle]

AirPods Pro versus AirPods Max’s

[prisma gull]

seems like it @fallen pike

[stark needle]

Wrong chat

Mb yall

[simple hill]

Lots of ppl in the first wave

[noble kindle]

When is the second wave coming

[stark needle]

20 hours

[noble kindle]

Is it based on time zone

[noble kindle]

Where r you getting this info

[fallen pike]

why would they release at 10pm est lmao

[mild axle]

👋

[noble kindle]

Dude

I can’t see my decision

Is it based on time zone or something

I’m pst btw

[mild axle]

It's rolling sdmissions

So they release periodically until April 1

Ish

[noble kindle]

Dude what 💀

So I will get a jump scare when decisions come out

Like it’ll just randomly come out?

[fallen pike]

bro what

is it based on when u submitted lol

[merry basalt]

someone should defo contact live chat when it opens again

[lone rain]

cuh when does this shit come out

i want my fucking rejection letter

[fallen pike]

2 week window is crazy

who does cmu think they are

[stark needle]

The leading college in BEPO

[somber cipher]

How are these fcking decisions coming out

[fallen pike]

what's bepo

[summer yarrow]

Rolling

They sent an email stating it's rolling

[cinder sequoia]

behavioural economics, policy & organization i think?

i atleast hope i get a mail when decisions are out

[somber cipher]

They should really state how they are gunna roll it out like every week

[fallen pike]

wharton prolly better for that lol

[cinder sequoia]

i wouldn't know either ways, hopeless cs applicant moment 😔

[fallen pike]

we're in the same boat 😔

[cinder sequoia]

cmu edgin so hard tho

have no clue when that decision gonna come out

[fallen pike]

did you apple to yale?

[mystic mulch]

Did you get decisions

[fallen pike]

if you were 1 point from mop they might have yield protected you tbh

cmu scs loses like all cross admits to mit

[sharp phoenix]

Did you Apple

[fallen pike]

cmu scs is not yield protecting

uh

mop is a whole different level

like 90%+ moppers get into mit

[stark needle]

Correct

[fallen pike]

wait i didnt see that they were mop

or that close to mop

maybe

[knotty saffron]

This girl from my school with MOP got rejected on Thursday and that shit was crazy 😭

[fallen pike]

from mit?

[knotty saffron]

Yea

[fallen pike]

that's wild

[knotty saffron]

Mit wilding this year 💀

[fallen pike]

she'll definitely end up somewhere good

[prisma gull]

what is mop

[fallen pike]

imo team selection camp

[prisma gull]

DAMN

[knotty saffron]

Yea she got caltech but mit missed out smh

[fallen pike]

caltech is better in many ways

[fallen pike]

prolly will land hypsm too

honestly caltech is on the level of hypsm

they have insane clout in physics especially

[simple hill]

Caltech is good for research

[cinder sequoia]

without a doubt

[fallen pike]

mop prolly guarantees yale too

[prisma gull]

http://hypsmc31.com/ found this on a2c; suppose it’s part of the acronym now

[simple hill]

With that kind of math you might as well just say community college LMAO

[fallen pike]

oof

[steep bolt]

no bc i got mine

also gl!

[gloomy oriole]

When’s the next wave? Anyone have any idea?

[soft shadow]

sat 9 am 🥺

[gloomy oriole]

Oh wow, I didn’t expect them to release on a weekend damn

[empty cape]

rlly?

[lone rain]

confirmed?

[soft shadow]

no lmao

i just hope

thats what they did previous years

they usually always release on sat at 9 but idk this rolling thing is new

[autumn wing]

good luck cuh

[halcyon chasm]

Tyty

[lapis portal]

i got rejected 💀

[vagrant niche]

when?

[left lantern]

When

[lapis portal]

the letter was released couple hours ago i checked it randomly

[left lantern]

The portal shows the time when the status update happened

What time does it say

[lapis portal]

it was updated on 15th march

thats all it says

[blissful mirage]

So is there any clue for the next wave?

[prisma gull]

someone guessed 9am on saturday, idk if it’s true but past decisions have come out then

[blissful mirage]

wait and see

[left lantern]

Have past decisions come on a Saturday?

[somber cipher]

CMU tmr then

[prisma gull]

apparently @left lantern

[prisma gull]

hopefully

[agile harness]

9 am?

Est?

[vagrant niche]

you mean todau?

[somber cipher]

Imma remain hopeful as well then hoping that it doesn’t actually continue till end of March

[somber cipher]

My bad ya today ig

[prisma gull]

thats the theory. idk tho

[prisma gull]

no same also im gonna be up for midd and wellesley anyways

[warped orbit]

I want one of these games for A2C except it’s about portal astrology

Where is my A2C San Francisco Bay Area Asian male cs major to do it for me!

[prisma gull]

that would be so funny if anyone knows how to game dev. i only know how to make discord bots and complete the AP CS A exam

if anyone does a portal astrology game i will happily playtest

[warped orbit]

It’s like you know how people have bucket lists and stuff or things they wanna achieve before their career ends

The portal astrology game is mine

[prisma gull]

you should code it

[warped orbit]

I cannot quit being A2C owner until that game is complete

[warped orbit]

Idk how bro

[prisma gull]

ok fair enough

also re: the game - do people actually skip school for college apps?

[warped orbit]

Yes

[prisma gull]

damn

i didnt have it in me to even skip orchestra rehearsal the night before my ED was due

…which may explain the “1D”

[hardy light]

Yeah, one of my friends did

But studied the night before exams

[prisma gull]

i see

[gloomy oriole]

This is jokes

[stoic harbor]

this shit is boring

[prisma gull]

i didnt make it

[warped orbit]

Unlike my portal astrology game

If it existed

You see

It’d start with a login

And everything would look normal

Until you log in a second time

Then something would look off

You’d click a button to view the status of documents required and something would quickly flash before your eyes

Not your life

But a sign

If you managed to read that quick flash you’d notice there’s one document you’re missing

[stoic harbor]

💀

yall got way too much free time on your hands

[warped orbit]

That document would be additional info about your financial aid

[prisma gull]

but imo it reflects how mechanically the average student is expected to act to “win” the real-life game of college admissions. every action is but a statistic, taken purely to further the college admissions process. players are expected to put in ungodly hours studying, writing applications, and exhaustion and sanity are neglected until the tipping point. even worse, activities like socialising and watching tv have merely become recovery measures, not done for fun. where did the spark of curiosity and joy in learning, school, friendships go? is everything done for a mere score, a letter, and not for the love of life itself? may the god(s, depending on your religion) who has/have forsaken us, if there is one out there, hear out plea, and give us some grass to touch.

-viola, Yap(le) ‘28

[warped orbit]

In order to turn in this document you must inspect element your portal to unhide the submission area

Once you do, a pixel in the banner of your portal will discolor itself

[prisma gull]

dont forget to navigate to the sister site, the “admitted students” site, and refresh

[warped orbit]

That’s where the discolored pixel leads to

Once you decipher the base64 it spits out

[prisma gull]

it’ll give you a “no access” page but you need to click “access” for access

[warped orbit]

But if you click the word “no” then your application gets automatically withdrawn and you lose

There will also be an admissions chat bot guiding you along your astrological journey

[worthy anvil]

This conversation is concerning

[warped orbit]

I’d assume your admissions chat bot warned you that you were getting too close to the truth then

Your admissions chat bot both instructs you through the game and lets you know when the AOs are getting on your track

[worthy anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-awkward-awkward-dog-staring-dog-patchibana-gif-13086408744970718509

[warped orbit]

If the AOs catch you doing astrology then your application is withdrawn!

[prisma gull]

it will send you a strongly-worded warning

[warped orbit]

Yes AOs can communicate through the portal’s inbox tab

[prisma gull]

sometimes the chatbot is a tech person, sometimes a tired senior

[warped orbit]

There are extra chat bot personalities you can buy through our A2DLCs

[warped orbit]

Wesley would you play this game

[worthy anvil]

Perhaps 🤔

[stoic harbor]

you know

you guys are just fucking insane

💀

[prisma gull]

Yap University prospective

[stoic harbor]

yall fucking overhype the amount of work you do

if you don't kike it

[prisma gull]

i was talking about the game 😭😭😭

[stoic harbor]

you're not fit to be a candidate for the schools in the first place

[prisma gull]

i like my irl life

[stoic harbor]

whoever made the game is just a miserable piece of shit then

💀

[prisma gull]

i mean it’s satire

and it’s working

[stoic harbor]

i goofed off till like junior year second sem and believe i have a solid shot at most top schools

[stoic harbor]

you know

considering this is a2c

there's a good chance it isn't

🗿

[prisma gull]

also it doesn’t seem to be made for profit or anything, just a funny personal project

[stoic harbor]

i mean yea ofc

[worthy anvil]

What unis you got into?

[stoic harbor]
