i think usc kinda stopped the threshold to buy your way in is wayyy higher
It’s there
WISH WE COULD TURN BACK TIME TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS
OMG
2.500.000
yeah if usc was a country it’d have the 5th most olympic medalists or somethn like that
jet pack joyride, subway surfers, temple run, temple run 2
goated game
FRRRR
minecraft (the free one)
hmm what else
remember Minecraft trial edition or smth
Education edition
it was like a 64x64 world 🤣
we need temple run instead of subway surfers for tiktoks
Imy yeah the demo
madden mobile was peak
Yeah
FRIV
DISCARD ALL MOBILE GAME TALK
omg remember sky landers 😭
clash of clans, clash royale, brawl stars (i still play brawl stars today)
NO

i loved five nights at freddy's so much
let us enjoy this moment
yes 🤣 completely forgot about those
Friday will NOT be your moment
CS GO the og edition
discard
OHOHOHOHO
next thursday tho 😎
sweetheart?
andrew carnegie*
this is like the first thing that you get when u search up free games right?
Idk
OMG THE SHARK GAME

W
Yeah guys join HU
well, its not out
Probs 9 am - 5pm est ea day tbh
ig its gonna come at 10 guys
trust me its coming out in an hour
i was legit a sadist on that game bro
Guaranteed employment
only went to the shores and baited the humans
Best fucking game
double fake
SAMEE
boom big bite
AND THERE WAS THAT ONE SECRET BIG CRAB
biggest flex is ive never spent a single cent on any mobile games 😎
I WAS THE GOAT ON HUNGRY SHARK
no money spent 🗣️
Same
fr
Same
But PC games
i cant believe ur like 15
Well
and going to college
That’s a different story
16
grad by 20 or 19 if u tryhard
I can
but I wanna take it slower lol
wanna chill
aswell
Idk A levels
I maxed out the possible subjects
I took 5 instead of 3 a levels
Oh wait ur talking about school credit
nah I already done that stuff
I did gcses
And AS
now doing a level
but the a levels will allow me to skip a year in uni too
I feel like the difference in quality or "prestige" between the two programs is marginal (except one is cs and the other is ece)
i agree with u here
both are T10
altho UIUC is T5
but for undergrad, it doesnt rly make a diff
Honestly
Rankings don't really matter that much when you're already looking at the top 10
yeah exactly
I don’t think rankings are the best picture
yeah i wasnt focusing on rankings
technically uiuc ece is ranked higher than cmu but aint no way am i picking uiuc over cmu
i was just looking at what academics i like more
I’ve seen a lot of UIUC grads without internships
a lot of UT grads without internships as well
its hard tbh, especially for ece students
most internships are swe
Prestige matters but hard work is what sets u apart
Not rlly
go to your state school 🫡
at UT?
swe is the most popular track within ece
swe internships are literally the most popular
isn’t ut guaranteed admit for top 10 percent of the class
Tempted to withdraw CMU application because it doesn’t really have a good program but I paid the money so I have to wait for it to come I guess
EE internships are quite common
no but i saw the stats tho
Oh not ut
Yeah cuz UT is known for software
yeah lol
More than ee
yep
honestly ee is the hidden gem
Is there any update or are we still thinking Friday @ 5
That people overlook
no i completely agree with u here
ee has a lot of professions
But a lot of people think it’s boring
why do they have to be like this
cs does too, but ull be confined to sofwtare
ik damn well they're done making decisions...
Tbh any engineering is versatile 😭
ee can do both hardware and software (just need a bit more time tho for swe)
ehhhh depends on what the person wants
like for me, i want to do quantum hardware eng
so i need ece
thats kinda why i chose ece best of both worlds
yo stupid question but is cmu ece the same as ce at uiuc gt and ut. like what’s the difference between ece and ce
Nah cuz some Aero majors land SWE jobs
Fine
swe for aero is lowkey underrated
ece does both hardwrae and software. ce is mostly just hardware
he didn’t like ee much after working at jaguar
mmm not necessarily; cybersecurity jobs (and many others) are total in question with a CS degree and those arent SWE
the car brand?
Yeah
damn wtf nice
They pay for his college tuition 😭
oh cool thats nice, i wanted a mix of both hardware and software
wdym total in question
*totally, sorry
thats nice lol
And he can do internships in the summer
totally in the question
ohh gotcha
yeah i see what u mean
man i just wanna go to college and study engineering bro
Cyber security is very rare tho to find someone doing it
idc which college anymore
uhh its pretty popular tho
cyber jobs are some of the most in need rn what do you mean
Like if u get uni cs students
The majority as swe
Yeah ik my cousin is doing cybersecurity because of that reason exactly
Just meant
By and large they're pretty analogous
A lot of people still go to swe
cyber aint a bad choice to fall back to tbh
that is kidna my plan
thinking of going into SWE or lower level programming
thing is, ece is rly nice in that u could easily explore hardwrae or fall back to software
but like, i wouldnt mind going into cyber
honestly don’t wanna do SWE
same here tbh
Too saturated
yeah idk tbh
like for me its either quantum hardware eng, or fall back to ML/SWE
i have loved everything ive done in CS
IT, networking, cyber, programming, databases, etc...
Yeah quantum hardware Eng 😭needs tons of experience tho
have had internships which encapsulated all those things and have loved it all
Same
it’s so hard to decide
yeah i plan on going to grad school lol
so i dont really know what i wanna go into, just something cs
ai is currently what I enjoy most
i find AI fascinating but nothing i am interested in for a career
nice
UT Austin right
cuz theres hardware and software tracks. u could do nanotech, or swe, or data science, or AI
theres more stuff as well lol
yup
Yeah
utd doesnt even feel like a college tbh 💀
😭
ive toured it, it just doesnt have the atmosphere of a college
Don't you get like free tuition at UTD if you're a national merit finalist or something
yup
pretty insane
i saw somewhere that 30% of UTD and MIT admits take UTD cuz of the free tuition
i forget where tho
yessir i was considering it
ik ppl who are in the program as well
crazy
I wonder if it's actually worth it
but its too close to home tbh
for cs its acc good
wait ur in dallas?
yurrr
lol
dtx
nice nice
im not committed yet but after march 29 ill be pretty sure on where im going
yeah im waiting for the 29th as well
my entire family is waiting for the 29th LMFAO
its either stanny, berk, prince, penn, but if i dont get into those, then insta-commit UT
i have 10 (maybe 11) decisions on the 28th 
good luck 😭
rn im between ut and gtown but we will see
on the 28th itself is crazy
you too
u got great options
niceee
its a great program
yeahh lol
cockrell
i just wanna learn eng atp bro
idc which uni anymore
😭
i got ece honors which is nice
i wish i didnt care but i def do bro
ayyy dubski
why all the ut stans in the cmu chat
no cmu?
ut betta
did u get in march 15
same fr
idk ppl were talking about cmu ece and the convo shifted to ut ece, then ut
aight ima go eat dinner

Did everyone see the story
They switched back to 1st April
I’m sure it’s like some way to protect yield
😔
It’s prob Friday again
😔
yeah they are going to rescind your offer (not)
ARE YOU FR
April 1 is insane
wait what story
write them an unlikely letter
when is CMU now 😭
CMU is rolling until 4/1 based on the instagram post?
but what abt this

The week. Im so serious
Instagram story on @carnegiemellonadmission
i dont have insta its on an accountwall can u send
The Instagram post was around noon I think which is after that chat
I can dm but I can’t send a photo here
I tried to link it but it was doxxinng my Insta @
I’ll dm it to you
yea thx
are the decisions fs coming this week? because the story just says by apr 1
Live chat said by Friday
honestly weve heard like 5 things, so ig just sit tight and wait
I think they’re having technical problems so they can’t give a definite answer
hmm but live chat is not frequently truthful no?
I saw some speculation that it was an AI model?
But I think they are trying to get it all out on Friday
#1 cs school in the country, has tech problems that fresno state didnt even have
istg
I called them at 3 est and they the next batch was going to be released on friday.
It’s probably Fresno st outsourced to San Jose st and cmu tried to built it themselves
common sjsu W
Yeah the story is a bit confusing too since it says that some decisions are still coming early over the next 2 weeks
I grew up in San Jose. Went to lynbrook high school
But if you don’t get one over next two weeks then you’ll get it on 1st April
Damn Lynbrook crazy
nearly t100 hs dam
hi guys
Lynbrook is a legend in the local SJ area
usnews ranks highschools holyy
time for a rabbit hole
see yall tmrw
Hahaha but I was at the bottom 3rd
im here to wish YALL good luck
yet u still got into ucla damn
it also does get memed on nowadays
poopman is 30 years older than me damn 💀
This was like 30 years ago. There was 1 million less high school seniors fighting for spots
but i heard back in the day it sent kids to Ivies every other day
fair enough, 30 years ago UCLA had like 40% acceptance rate LMao
This is the second worse year with so many kids graduating
Next year is the peak. Worse year
did it ever end up coming out?
it is coming out on friday
comes out friday 5pm est
college admissions were so damn easy back when our parents were applying dude
will have to ruin ditch day w cmu decision 😞😞
when my mom applied the harvard AR was like 30% 💀
but my parents still went to trash schools 💀
SAME 😭
Yeah it’s tough now. My kids are going through this and it’s painful to watch
Good on you for actually realizing how hard it is
my parents had it so easy gettin into usc and ucla
i mean glad they recognize its a struggle now
Hopefully all the parents will be financially supporting y’all’s
lol when i texted my parents i got into ucla all they texted me back was "you're not going to ucla over berkeley"
lmfaooo
hard time believing a dude like 25 years older is named poopman lmao
no offense
that name is so fire
crazy how people actually get into these type of schools
It’s been my nickname since grad school! My kids like it
i like it too lol
mfs at gt really started calling you poopman 💀
when people say harvard princeton cmu or smtn i never think peeople actually go there
interviews
I used to change my hair color every few weeks and back then GT profs couldn’t handle Asian dude with purple hair
i used to think the same, but this server is abt to get u such bad impostor syndrome
its quite the opposite here annoyingly
lmao real
all she wanted was davis
im having a hard time finding anyone who went or is going to a csu, let alone sjsu, so i can ask them qs abt sjsu
waitlisted
waitlist is great bruh
I'm guessing that you want to go to SJSU?
how did u know???
crazy
Go onto LinkedIn
i mean i dont wanna go, but its my best (only-ish) option, so im tryna get myself to like it
lmao really?
are you in-state ?
yea
have you been to SJSU?
do you at least live near?
kindaaaaaaaa
I feel like we should move this into dms
its not the closest csu, but not the furthest
yea sure
im debating between purdue and sjsu tho
is cost a factor
Is cmu out
No
no dont jinx it
dammit now uve put the thought in my head >:(
just give me my rejection letter already and move on god dammit
Wait so did they release it?
greatest of all time
bro it aint coming out
Crazy u got waitlisted ucsb but got into cmu
right
this year my schoo has people from 2/3 tho
Somehow
idek how
ur one of them
me and my friends are carrying our school rn
cracked
meow meow meow meow meow meow

I went and became fluent in Japanese for no reason
got my seal of biliteracy for it
with no classes or help
I didn’t
i dont even have time to manage my classes
it came to me naturally
I just picked up on the language
and all I had to do was study kanji
the grammar and vocabulary came perfectly into my head
it was weird
what did u do for CS
lmfao
checks out
and a 1510
I had a 4.0 in the hardest classes possible
A 4.0 is very easy to get for the average level students
I thjnk honestly my essays is what got me in
my school has very few 4.0s
same
cmu has a soft spot for students who do dance related ecs idk why
dance?
Yeah

Good, its all jokes
"i have a 4.0, 1600 SAT, 36 ACT, amazing EC's and essays, and rec letters from ivy league professors. chat am i cooked???"
@fallen pike poopoo
im like the only one in the server that didnt do robotics i feel very out of place
u like cmu?
i didnt either dont worry
YOOO wait u got cmu tooo??:?
or u gonna wait for like usc or sm
lets gooo
usc is the only school im waiting for im prob pickin cmu if i dont get in
and even then id prob have to debate usc vs cmu
bros still glazing usc
cuz ive lowk fallen in love with cmu asw
i swear i didnt take that
well its different when you actually get in
uc merceds better than all of those 🥱
its just so cracked for what im trynna do so
im accepted to tepper but we can add cs without any extra requirements
so im gonna do like computational finance/econ + math/econ + cs
yooo goated one of my best friends got into tepper
hes tryna do the same thing
idk what tepperm ajor im gonna choose
maybe ill put you in touch with him
i think ill get in but i dont think ill go
ive hopped off the meat
shhh lets keep it taht way i have a brand to keep up here
ugh i just realized now i have to donate or trhwo away all my other uni merch

Lmao
i got a couple chuckles but it was all lighthearted stuff
btw im crashing ucla admitted students day
Im so tired of waiting. JHU is tomorrow and I got 3 schools on Friday

There were so many ppl wearing other college merch when I toured gt
Real ivy day is so late I want it to be over
nuthn i love fresno
im bringing my usc blankie to cmu if it comes down to it
r u gonna trasnffer from cmu to usc lmao
das what i thought
if i hate it i might but cmu is such a goated school
CMU, GT AND TUFTS WHILE IM AT SHIFT WORK WILL BE INSANE 🦾☻️
yea
congrats tho man
thx bro
Gl u got this
ur my goat
preciate that 😊
CMU dominates usc
USC L
cmusc
Agreed
they both have their pros and cons but i think theyre both goated schools tho fr
@autumn wing why usc?
oh brother i have a whole spiel
I’ve never looked into usc like ever
3 reasons go
I applied to umd and top cs schools that’s it
I considered but never finished tbey cannot gurantee good aid
ill take ur cornell stuff 🫡
uh i worked there 3 times, im legacy, campus is beautiful (locvation and weather), schools are highly ranked
i live nearby
USC is pretty epic
uh
Heh, mmm study what?
Ok but who cares about being happy
good point!
verrry happy student body, awesome industry connections, very good starting salaries
clearly not CMU students /s
im studying ece
Research or just bachelor's
cmu w uni
?
i did research at usc but my end goal is to get a bachelors work in industry for a while and come back and do an mba
Im getting my doctorate after hopefully CMU and hopefully at mit for eecs
maybe like a technically leaning mba
Interesting my cousin is doing premed but we are unsure if it’s worth going to usc with little aid over like a uc school
Stanford my biggest opp
i mean usc is 4th soo
usc at 4th lmao
I hate Stanford (praying to go for masters)
SJSU AT 8TH WOOHOO
cost is interesting
but USC as a school with the support n resources u get
is known to be excellent for premed
Especially since it’s premed idk is expensive bachelors worth it. Like does it open up more med school options enough to justify the cost
yeah usc is awesome asw
Idk a lot about premed
cmu is also dope asf
I want CMU merch
yoo come to cmu better than gt fr
I’ve had three consecutive dreams about the same guy does that mean we’re dating
They are in fact releasing on April 1st at 11:59 PM
It’s never one thing tbh I’m not saying the rest of your app wasn’t strong but maybe just too many ppl in your major?
It wouldn’t be JUST sat or JUST grades that gets someone rejected usually like 2-3 things
Guys I’m not gonna lie
CMU chat might be the most interesting one rn which is surprising
All the other chats are dead but I assume they’ll pick up next week
I’m leaning that way rn
Bc CMU is trolling their applicants
Indeed
It’s hilarious when u look back at it
aw cmu didnt come at 12
its coming at 1 guys trust me bro
Every hour the CMU chat would be flooded 💀
We FR reincarnated Andrew Carnegie/mellon
16 minutes 🔥🔥🗣️🗣️😍😍
It’s coming this time for sure 🥰
everything tastes better when its free
yall are laughing rn, watch as it comes out
For everyone
Even the ppl that already got it
They’ll get a second update saying the first is wrong
As CMU does
That would be the worst feeling ever
That’s not even like a mistake dude
NO WAY 💀💀💀
Thats an abomination
damn what happened after that?
What happened if someone withdrew everywhere else for cmu
RIGHT
They got an email within hours tho
But ppl like me I woulda been so happy and withdraw in those few hours
This was masters admissions apparently
But still
cmu in 12 minutes ong
I’m very uncracked
Omg early status update
4.0?
Yes
blud
IS THIS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
did they reject the kids after it got caught
ooo 11 min
Yeah they sent an email
how is everyone getting 4.0
L
Nah
Ok but my sat was 1540 and I accidentally sent my 1510 that I got after my 1540
Some schools have crazy grade inflation
Yeah grade inflation
unfaiir
ohhhh nooo
Asian in CS
I do all de classes tho
so trragic
I’m cooked chat
chat am i cooked with a 3.8 uw gpa
lets goo
Yes|| (no bruh ur good) ||
oh im majoring in gender studies
Did you not get a decision yet
Nope
Rip
tf
I have like a 4.82
My school has like 20 I’m so cooked
idek why im waiting for cmu decision doubt im gonna enroll even if accepted
I do all duel enroll classes
I switched schools too
In junior year
And still somehow made top 10 😭😭
I fr lucked out sm in the last 5 years
Like effort + luck
Fr same
we got 29
I didn’t care about decisions after gt now I’m definitely not caring after cmu 😭
I wish I applied to GT
then why did u apply 😭
It’s so cheap too
Do y have other acceptances
bro wasted $80 for nothing
its his safety
didnt know id get other decisions i did
Umd
ah
I applied to umd and reaches
Oooo okay
Umd cs kinda hard tho this year
Umd rlly good for CS
Yeah
that’s prob why
It’s my state school
I didn’t apply FRICK
Ur in dude you seem like a strong applicant
Rejections so far?
Stanford 🙃
I got so cooked
For undergrad CS
i rejected stnaford too
W Stanford rejects
I was rejected Columbia ED and UIUC CS
im boutta join the party in 10 days
Yes 💪
they rly wanted me unfortunately had to turn em down
T20 is like top 20 overall right
Accepted northeastern honors Umass Amherst honors UConn honors Binghamton and Fordham all for CS
is uiuc T20
when?
Nicee
For CS it’s like 5th I think
I’m very much dissatisfied
but like overall
Idk when it was like years back right
It’s not a t20 but it’s t40 I think
ah
Ah yeah
?
I bet everything on umd
2nd
Like ranking
Lost only to MIT
I meant overall
Oh
like t25
Ik for cs
China Medical University
Overall is like t30
cs it's big 4
anyone apply harvey mudd?
yea
MIT cmu berk stan
Oh r y ranking
i got UMD CS
Yeah there’s plenty I’m going on April first
I’m cooked
damn that's early
I thought SCS was like 7-8%?
Yeah
let me make a slight addition
SJSU MIT cmu berk stan
it's 3
huh
3%
Nah u right
I need to make a decision quick
Cmu cmu cmu
CSU Fresno MIT cmu berk stan
fresno state 🔥 🔥 🔥
just go cmu if money doesnt matter lol
🗣️ 🔥
My rankings are Stan mit cmu Berk
what do u wanna do again
It doesn’t
you forgot fresno state
Idk why northeastern is looked down on it’s lowk cracked for CS bc of co ops
This is like data from years ago
yeah
that's 9 years ago bro
it's 3%
so probs lower now
confirmed 3%
Not top tier by any means but should be ranked t30 for CS
Cs is more saturated now so it’s even lower
thats INSANE
true
holyy
9 yrs is so long
Only 150 students? In an entire college?
My friend got in but didn’t get umd cs
2015 was almost a decade ago
5 percent in 2015?!
damn
He’s probably gonna go
There’s no way I actually got in 😭
Very mid
lmk lmk
slide
Oh wait u alr got in
Ignore what I said earlier lmao
I misinterpreted
I told you about my sat story
about what
oh 1510 right?
Yeah the additional 1510
Yes
Ngl there’s no significant difference between 1510 and 1540
was y our essay peak or something
not at all
1500-1540 is one thing
