im not gonna question it

[somber cipher]

theres times when im jking and times to be serious

[steep bolt]

so wise

[somber cipher]

i am quite in deed

[autumn wing]

cmu ece/cs wipes berk eecs/lscs i hate berk (personal reasons)

[sweet horizon]

:(

[autumn wing]

berk english prob is better than cmu don’t worry 😭

you’re safe from my berkeley hating

[sweet horizon]

im not actually doing english

but why do you hate berkeley

/gen

[autumn wing]

don’t like size location n competitive culture there

but to each their own

stole one of my cmu friends from me as well

[sweet horizon]

lol

W friend

im kidding cmu is awesome you'll have a great time there

[autumn wing]

fax

[somber cipher]

I don’t think CMU competitive culture is any better

[autumn wing]

nah it’s hard but it’s very collaborative from what i hear

everyone helps each other out

[mint heart]

cmu wipes but cornell doesn’t

[autumn wing]

yeah fax

berk might wipe cornell perhaps even

[cerulean crow]

berk wipes literally anything for me

cuz close to home, insane programs, in state, etc etc

but thats just my pref

[autumn wing]

fair

[cerulean crow]

but cmu is a massive w

congrats man :D

[mint heart]

berk def wipes cornell

[warm meteor]

For in state yes

[warm meteor]

Damn what 3 majors are you doing

[onyx falcon]

berk stole bros friend

[somber cipher]

CMU BOUGHTA ACCEPT ME TOMORROW

[somber cipher]

eduro tell snickers im getting in

[onyx falcon]

snicker hes getting in

[onyx falcon]

is it coming out tmrw?

[somber cipher]

no im predicting the future

[steep bolt]

i know bro

@onyx falcon whats that for bro

[onyx falcon]

no reason

felt like it

[steep bolt]

ur just mad cuz cornell

perfect for you

[onyx falcon]

uh huh

ur saying that cuz u dont get to take it

lmk after u die after ur first quarter at cmu

[merry basalt]

has cmu started taking kids off the waitlist?

[autumn wing]

…

[autumn wing]

you will NOT catch me lackin in ithaca

[gloomy osprey]

Guys can anyone please guide me on what to write for the waitlist reply form?

[brave island]

not till mid may

[obsidian mist]

Some schools have started

Can’t send screenshot

[balmy beacon]

College of Engineering seems to have accepted a few

[upbeat eagle]

Anything for Dietrich yet?

[somber cipher]

Why not Dietrich like come on

[restive jolt]

there’s no proof that they’ve accepted anyone yet, just a few forum posts abt waitlist conversations

it’s not really common for colleges to take people off the waitlist before may 1

[high ibex]

Yeahhh fr

[high ibex]

I heard someone got accepted into cit from waitlist

[patent vector]

Is waitlist this year gonna be just as bad as last?

[somber cipher]

Most likely

[somber cipher]

Guys I do believe CMU college of engineering came out

I’m hearing more stories abt people who applied chem e getting out

Mech e getting out

And CE

No news on Dietrich or scs

[knotty saffron]

engineering having lower yield than Dietrich is crazy…

[somber cipher]

We can’t necessarily determine that as we haven’t heard any scs or Dietrich kids getting off but there could be a possibility that Dietrich and scs had some waitlist out considering the amount of waitlists accepted last year there is a chance it’s just that people are not posting abt

Would be nice to see the actual email of what it looks like if these stories and comments are real

[knotty saffron]

Yea sigh real

[somber cipher]

Hopefully more news waves info or someone here on A2c gets out

Would be awesome to hear someone get off CMU

[restive jolt]

we don’t know atp

waitlists vary like crazy depending on the year

[somber cipher]

Any like evidence or info regarding past records of CMU releasing waitlists by department?

[restive jolt]

for fall 2021 6,819 people were waitlisted, 3,461 accepted a spot, and 288 were admitted

[restive jolt]

it’s not really common practice to release stats by college/school

[somber cipher]

Like most convos I’ve seen abt CMU were people in the college of cs or like engineering so I can’t tell

[somber cipher]

Sorry time

Like do they send waitlists at different times based on department

[restive jolt]

the only absolute is that most likely to get off the waitlist is school of drama because they have to fill every single slot

[restive jolt]

yeah

most don’t until after the commit date

especially this year since people are waiting until the last minute bc of fafsa

[somber cipher]

So the time waitlist do come out are based on department? Correct or no?

[somber cipher]

True

[restive jolt]

it depends on a lot of factors but cmu typically admits waitlisted students by program/major

it also depends on if/when the person they offered a spot from the waitlist responds to their offer

[somber cipher]

So released date and time will be different

[restive jolt]

yes

[somber cipher]

Damn feel bad for fafsa getting messed up and the commit day is this week but for waitlist I guess it’s a W

[restive jolt]

didn’t they push it to may 15?

[somber cipher]

Thought that was only for the UCs

CMU is doing it also?

[restive jolt]

a lot of schools are

penn state’s has been may 15 for the past few months

so are amherst and purdue

https://www.nacacnet.org/enrollment-deadlines-directory-2024/

yeah cmu’s is may 15

[somber cipher]

Ic

@restive jolt I assume ur dedicated to CMU also

[restive jolt]

eh

i’m committed to usc in every way except financially atp

i just wanna see if i can get in off the waitlist bc my program is in the school of drama

[somber cipher]

But given the opportunity you would chase for CMU

[restive jolt]

if they give me enough money

i applied to the bxa program which is basically a combined major in a fine arts program (stage + production management for me) and a program within a different college (i chose compsci) so i’d have the opportunity to double major which usc wouldn’t allow me to do

[somber cipher]

Alright more info regarding this waitlist. Apparently the first wave was Monday this week for some engineering majors hope this info helps

Not confirmed but I’m just reading from comments

[somber cipher]

That’s great to hear

[restive jolt]

thank you!!

it’s a really unique program that also happens to combine the two most competitive majors at cmu in my case so i was pleasantly surprised by being waitlisted

[somber cipher]

Me too, being waitlisted by a top uni like CMU something I would have never expected

[gloomy osprey]

+1

[cerulean crow]

+2

[polar lark]

Naur have u decided 😔

Who will putt party with you 😭

LMFAOOO

See snicker it’s not just us 👀 @steep bolt

Me

[polar lark]

I’ll keep the allegations going :))

U can’t dodge me :)))

[polar lark]

I’ll be your bestie 🥺

[polar lark]

🥺 noo

Transferring requires senior grades?

[onyx falcon]

😔

[somber cipher]

Damn Izzy ur in this too

[steep bolt]

DW IM NOT GONNA TRANSFER UNLESS IM LIKE FLUNKING OUT OR SMTH

I WONT LEAVE U

[steep bolt]

yess bestie + roomie

[steep bolt]

true 😔

[frail sphinx]

Can’t decide between CMU or Gatech stamps for meche

[somber cipher]

CMU maybe I luv CMU

U should really try to look into specific labs and opportunities to truly weigh those options

[restive jolt]

on the non-academic side of things pittsburgh (and pennsylvania as a whole tbh) is incredibly grey 90% of the year

cmu has buggy tho

[steep bolt]

some may find that attractive

(me)

[restive jolt]

i see you

but i’ve been living in this bleary ass state my entire life, i’m ready to haul ass to california

[steep bolt]

lol

[onyx falcon]

word cali best state

[onyx falcon]

@steep bolt would u have ditched for stern?

also u should go watch that movie i sent u in messages

[steep bolt]

hell nah

[steep bolt]

im off my phone for a while but soon

[onyx falcon]

u cappin

[steep bolt]

bro

i do not wanna do business shit

stem >>

my cmu application was an accident

[onyx falcon]

uh huh

u want money

[fallen pike]

e rooming is crazy

[sharp estuary]

i ditched cmu for stern 💀

bro both acceptance packages were the exact same its crazy

[prisma gull]

i hope you get off wl! i got into cfa (music) but rejected from bxa lol

[warped sundial]

when do waitlist decisions come

just asking but I committed to umd lol

[steep bolt]

is that not what everyone does

also we live in the same area so nah

it isnt rlly erooming

[steep bolt]

valid choice for business

[sharp estuary]

tepper is good too but for quant and consulting

more for quant

[fallen pike]

it is

I just wanted to make it dramatic

[restive jolt]

by june 30

[restive jolt]

thank you!! artistic weapons fr

[somber cipher]

CMU PLEASE LET ME GET A CALL TOMORROW ASKING FOR A TALK ABOUT MY WAITLIST

[steep bolt]

u will trust 🙏

[somber cipher]

If they dont call me i will call them

give them a piece of my mind

respectfully

[steep bolt]

lmao

[prisma gull]

just don't get the live chat shut down 🤓

[cerulean crow]

WAIT DO THEY CALL OR EMAIL

cuz i have spam filters on my phone

[somber cipher]

email

[knotty saffron]

U get them fish I support u

[somber cipher]

i will tell u how it goes

boughta show who is daddy

[cerulean crow]

thank god

[brave island]

did anyone get a call?

[left lantern]

i havent really checked this thread since the cmu decisions first came in late march

any updates on when the waitlists are getting a decision or how they are getting a decision?

[left lantern]

sorry i have been scrolling and reading this thread, i am curious, what do you mean by this?

[restive jolt]

people accepted off the waitlist have 72 hours to submit a deposit

if they don’t then the spot gets offered to the next person the program wants

if the person who gets off the waitlist declines immediately, the next person will hear pretty soon after

if they don’t respond and let the 72 hours go by, the next person won’t find out until after that

[cerulean crow]

U find out if ur off the wl thru an email saying they wanna have a call abt ur wl

[onyx falcon]

i feel like thats gotta be hella exciting to get an email liek that

[left lantern]

Ah I see

I know that the waitlist acceptance rate is low but do you think in reality it's higher since after may 1 a lot would start pulling out?

[cerulean crow]

ikrrr

[restive jolt]

the deadline for cmu is may 15

people don’t really pull out of waitlists after commit dates because waitlists don’t usually admit people until after the national reply date

[somber cipher]

Yo called CMU they hella edgy. They said decisions are planned to be out after May 15, but then after she said that she was like well we could also send them out before

[cerulean crow]

bruh

[steep bolt]

LMAO

[restive jolt]

i mean they don’t really know when they’ll be out bc it depends on commit figures lol

[brave island]

did anyone get such emails yet?

[cerulean crow]

a few

not here, but in cc and r/a2c

[somber cipher]

One on Reddit

College of engineering seems to be the only department working on waitlists

CMU does it based on department

[autumn wing]

someone on the cmu 28 discord server yea

[brave island]

wait he got off like 5 days ago

tahts crazy

[somber cipher]

For college of engineering? Correct?

[autumn wing]

yea

[somber cipher]

Pls notify if any Dietrich gets out

[cerulean crow]

yoo wassup cmu guy

[brave island]

they prolly be out around 15th

[somber cipher]

COE has accepted some waitlists

Already

[brave island]

yea ik

i mean most of them

[somber cipher]

Bro scs is most likely not gunna have much movement

[brave island]

mcs 🙏

[somber cipher]

Is this the science one

I forgot

[brave island]

yea

[somber cipher]

Pls Dietrich!!!!!

[brave island]

i hope everyone got in that get like mit/ivies

[autumn wing]

ill lyk yea

[autumn wing]

helllo

[somber cipher]

Ty brother

[visual scarab]

Way to put a man down when he’s already down. All jokes😭😭

[somber cipher]

lol it generally has always been this way. I think last year 0 scs waitlisted kids got in. However this year might change if they actually did underadmit

[onyx falcon]

realistically very little ppl r turning down scs

[somber cipher]

Ya def.

[visual scarab]

Yea but I will always hold out hope 😂😂 it’s ok if I doesn’t happen at least I tried

[grave jungle]

what about mcs?

[somber cipher]

maybe i mean so far college of engineering is the only department that has made movement

[tribal light]

pretty sure this is not true

*the effect looks like such though because CMU overaccepts for SCS kinda a lot

[onyx falcon]

well yeah i mean enough to pass their yield

cuz the scs ppl a lot of em get into top ivies and such

[tribal light]

Like i can only quote data from a bunch of years ago because They don't publish by college anymore but it used to be about 44ish% iirc in 2017

cant find the info-sheet anymore though so take it with a grain of salt, it was a long time ago when i looked at that sheet

[full dune]

How much does EDi'ng help your app?

[steep bolt]

depends on the school; for cmu, not much

[full dune]

really does it help that little for CMU?

[steep bolt]

saw we were in the cmu thread halfway through the msg 😭

[steep bolt]

yeah

[full dune]

LMFAO

yeah it helps a litlte but not much

[steep bolt]

i mean it still does help

[full dune]

AR for ED for CMU was 22%

[steep bolt]

if cmu is your absolute first choice

[full dune]

yeah i was just curious

[steep bolt]

its just less so than other schools i think

[full dune]

yeah for sure

[onyx falcon]

hi snicker

[steep bolt]

hey menace

[onyx falcon]

🥰

[steep bolt]

hey thats e-flirting

delete that emoji

[onyx falcon]

it only is if u take it that way

[steep bolt]

ur not helping the allegations

[onyx falcon]

jsut like

spam a lot

and nobody will see it

[restive jolt]

it’s kind of a given that schools accept a significant amount of their students via ED

especially since cmu has two rounds

if it’s your absolute first choice, i’d say go for it if you know you can afford it

[steep bolt]

um yeah better take this into consideration 😰

[restive jolt]

cmu is notoriously stingy w aid

to the point that they advertise the fact that their graduates have a low default rate for student loans😵‍💫

so if your parents have an extra $80k+ they can throw your way every year you’re in luck

[hardy light]

where are you getting this from 💀

CMU has always stated that they don't prefer ED candidates over RD and vice versa, in fact, admit rate for ED is very close to that of RD

[steep bolt]

22% looks a bit sus but the point is there

just a little bit higher for ed like u said

[somber cipher]

WHY WONT DIETRICH OPEN THEIR WAITLIST

[hardy light]

CMU is the one school where ED won't give you the substantial edge many people assume it would, you're also limited to only 1 major in ED whereas in RD, you can select an alternate major

[steep bolt]

oh ed is limited to 1 major?

[hardy light]

yes

[steep bolt]

interesting

[full dune]

CMU's CDS

you can look on it yourself

well it is 2 rounds

so it would be about the same

AR

[hardy light]

from 2022-23

this is 12.5%

[full dune]

oh wait i maybe miscalulcated then

my bad rip

[hardy light]

it would have dropped more for fall 24

[full dune]

yeah for sure

[hardy light]

here's the overall

3873/34261 = 11.3%

[full dune]

ah okay

that's pretty low

[hardy light]

CMU admits by college, though

CoE, SCS and Math Sciences would probably be the most selective

along-with drama/theatre

I hear those are even more competitive

[full dune]

What is SCS?

[somber cipher]

do u think its possible kids would give up stats and data sci at cmu

[hardy light]

school of computer science

[hardy light]

well, I am sure some will but i am not an AO so I really can't predict, I am waitlisted too at CMU but for math

[full dune]

ah okay

[somber cipher]

would u go cmu over ucla

tho

[hardy light]

if they give even a couple of hundreds of dollars in aid, i might since i am oos in ucla 💀

[somber cipher]

ur oos and going ucla 💀 that tuition is high

[olive nova]

math? is math really competitive there?

[full dune]

76k a year holy shit 😭

[hardy light]

yes 💀

[full dune]

bro you're going into so much debt

[somber cipher]

brother ucla is not all that

[hardy light]

yep, CMU is one of the top schools for math, a lot of SCS and CoE applicants select math as their alt

[somber cipher]

pls cmu........

[hardy light]

my next best option is imperial college london about halfway across the world

[somber cipher]

GO BRITISH whatever idk

[hardy light]

i am fortunate to be able to afford ucla without taking on debt

but yeah, shit's still expensive 💀

[full dune]

wtf that's crazy

[somber cipher]

damn thats good to hear

[knotty saffron]

Tbf it’s in Dietrich and Dietrich doesn’t admit by major

[somber cipher]

really?

is it coe that admits by major

[cerulean crow]

ooh

we have a chance :D

[high ibex]

I don't think any school admits by major, you go in undeclared

Although the thing with only chemE people getting off is really weird

[somber cipher]

There was one comp Eng

On Reddit

I think

[high ibex]

Oh interesting

Gl yall

[brave island]

i acc used up the 300 words for the update

hope they will like eit 😔

[polar lark]

no schools admit by major!

just school

[polar lark]

actually maybe drama

[steep bolt]

@somber cipher help is this you 💀💀

[fresh wagon]

I saw that and thought the same thing 💀

[restive jolt]

drama only admits by major

and music iirc

but they may admit off of the waitlist by major

there’s a million more factors that go into admitting from waitlist as opposed to regular admission

[high ibex]

Lmaooo I remember seeing the post and thinking that

[somber cipher]

Yes boss I gotta make sure I still got a chance

[somber cipher]

Snickers don’t give me that sass

[steep bolt]

no i just want u to get in fr

[shadow shard]

CMU my beloved ♥️

[shadow shard]

https://tenor.com/view/no-bugs-bunny-nope-gif-4095597578532971838

[cerulean crow]

😔

[shadow shard]

no boilermaking here

[polar lark]

What happened to sjsu?

[cerulean crow]

i committed to purdue lol

its AI major is a lot more fascinating than plain old cs, no offense to cs majors

[mint heart]

cs majors can do a double major in ai but ai majors can’t do a double major with cs

🤷‍♂️

both are great majors

[cerulean crow]

nah

im thinking of double majoring in cs

from the ai major

its hella possible, encouraged, even
in purdue tho, not cmu

[dusk oracle]

is the waitlist deadline tn or tmr night?

and how does priority deadline give better chances?

[cerulean crow]

priority is a scam. literally everyone got it

[cerulean crow]

idk, but u shud prob do it rn. wl movement has started

[dusk oracle]

alright, thanks

[restive jolt]

it’s not a scam lol, just outdated verbiage from past admissions cycles

[cerulean crow]

yea

[restive jolt]

they used to have a binding waitlist that was called the priority waitlist

[cerulean crow]

i saw it and i was like WOW

im important to them :D

[restive jolt]

then they realized that kinda defeated the purpose of the waitlist and got rid of it lol

[cloud dagger]

Why do I feel like Dietrich won't move much 😕 😪

[cerulean crow]

:(

[somber cipher]

Same….

[brave island]

mcs 😭

[dawn pivot]

Any SCS movement?

[restive jolt]

guys the commit deadline isn’t until may 15 i’m begging you to stop agonizing over the waitlist lmfao

[high ibex]

oh yeah true

prolly think about waitlist stuff after deadline at least

[tidal sage]

any melon college of science movement??

[brave island]

no idea

also anyone knows if CMU wants students' counselors to call them to talk about wl stuff?

or it might hurt the chance

[real lake]

Anyone know cmu 28 accept rate or when it gonna come out?

[limber pollen]

prolly after waitlists

they said june 30th

so

[restive jolt]

common data set in the fall

[restive jolt]

no, they’re very clear about how the only thing you should do is the waitlist response essay

[brave island]

👍

[stiff frigate]

Wait did the waitlist response need to be an essay

[balmy beacon]

It didn't need to be. But you had up to 300 words to work with.

[somber cipher]

Wrote one sentence saying ty. And then moved onto discussing about my extracurriculars and awards that I have garnered since submitting my application.

[unkempt elk]

waiting for waitlist result be like

https://tenor.com/view/sad-esteban-escobar-waiting-gif-15143905160173601440

[mint heart]

waiting for waitlist rejection be like

[twin plume]

does cmu even send out wl rejections?

[somber cipher]

yes

[loud cape]

Really

How do you know

[somber cipher]

last year they did

[loud cape]

Oh ok

When was that sent out

[somber cipher]

june i think idk

[restive jolt]

waitlist is by june 30 this year

[brave island]

did anyone get email about wl other than engineering school?

[somber cipher]

heard heinz did

but thats abt it

[brave island]

did anyone ask cmu AO about wl movements this year

[somber cipher]

i did

and couple others

[brave island]

what did they say

[somber cipher]

someone said that coe and heinz did make movement

when i called cmu, they were super indirect

[brave island]

typical cmu

[somber cipher]

they were like its most likely that cmu waitlist will proceed after may 15, but then they were like well there is also a chance it could come out before

so in simple terms they could have just said idk or anytime

[brave island]

stupid ahh school

did they mention about the yield rate so far?

[somber cipher]

mcs, scs, dietrich, or the art and drama school i havent heard much news on

[somber cipher]

yield cannot be determined until may 15

[brave island]

i mean most school's ddl is 5.1

[somber cipher]

even still after may 15 we prob still wont know the yield rate

[brave island]

icic

[somber cipher]

cmu changed it to may 15

[brave island]

ik

[somber cipher]

sir date

but i think cmu will slowly do another wave

[brave island]

i only know scs is pretty overaccepted

[somber cipher]

but from what ik of its department based

[brave island]

yea it is

i saw mcs and scs have 0 last year

i read last year's cmu wl thread

[somber cipher]

feels dietrich might have 0 this year lol

[brave island]

lol

mcs 😭

[somber cipher]

end of the day im not trying to bank on cmu. cmu got that insane waitlist acceptance rate

wish they were more like duke

[brave island]

<1

for like 3 years

this is completely lottery

[somber cipher]

def

[cerulean crow]

ikr

im just tryna cope that this year cud be a special case based on how few were accepted and how many were wled

[brave island]

me too lmao

bruh im literally saying cmu is asshole for doing such stuff to students and hoping to get in

😭

[somber cipher]

where u planning on heading king

[restive jolt]

guys im gonna be so real w you it is not worth it to agonize over the waitlist at this point lmfao

waitlists are unpredictable every year, but this year is another level

at this point they may be looking to fill specific majors or extracurricular positions

[mint heart]

think of it as a rejection especially for cmu

[restive jolt]

unless you’re in the school of drama, you’re probably better off playing the lottery lol

[wheat moon]

has anyone got off the waitlist yet

[somber cipher]

please refer up now i think everyone keeps asking and yes people have

[wheat moon]

fuck

[fresh wagon]

bro is desperate

[wheat moon]

man's "about me" is literally "what do you call a young eigensheep?
a lamb, duh."

gosh

[somber cipher]

i think all schools should endorse a waitlist similar to duke

[somber cipher]

where u going boss

[wheat moon]

waiting on CMU boss

[fresh wagon]

^^

[fresh wagon]

You ain’t getting in

[somber cipher]

[fresh wagon]

[somber cipher]

unless we hear a miracle story after may 15

[steep bolt]

[somber cipher]

[somber cipher]

Im different

[fresh wagon]

me too 😁

[cerulean crow]

chat same…

[somber cipher]

Any Koreans chat?

[restive jolt]

bro has never heard of a safety🙇🏻

[tidal tree]

intl

intls dont have safeties

[brave island]

uiuc/uw madison

most common safeties for chinese

[cerulean crow]

ah yes. uiuc. everyone's safety

quite a safety

mhm

so true

[brave island]

hm

[cerulean crow]

my fave safety is uiuc

its soooo easy to get into

especially for cs

mhm

[brave island]

cs is sth else

but like all my chinese friends got in

they didnt do cs tho

[cerulean crow]

wut major

[brave island]

math or other stem

not cs

[cerulean crow]

if not cs or eng, then uiuc isnt incredibly competitive

[brave island]

yea

[cerulean crow]

ah ok

[restive jolt]

that’s a bit of a stretch lol

[restive jolt]

uiuc has a 44% acceptance rate lmfao

[cerulean crow]

yea

but cs

comparatively

[restive jolt]

it’s competitive either way lol

especially since almost 75% of the students are state residents

[cerulean crow]

75%

daaaam

[restive jolt]

wait nvm that’s actually outdated lol

only 15% of uiuc students are out-of-state, not including international students

[tidal tree]

It's not

If you have money, then maybe you have safeties

[restive jolt]

a significant amount of international students have money lmfao

a lot of schools don’t offer any aid to internationals

including cmu

[onyx falcon]

ah yes these r safeties

true!

[autumn wing]

pretty sure heinz is a graduate school

[somber cipher]

information systems dietrich and heinz

[autumn wing]

wait i lied

just remembered IS

[cerulean crow]

heyyy usc guy wassup

[empty cape]

has waitlists come out for anyone

[unkempt elk]

nop

[cerulean crow]

nop

well yes, for some engineering kids, but no for everyone else lol

[unkempt elk]

oh

[full dune]

What did yky get into Purdue for?

[cerulean crow]

AI

[full dune]

Are you instate?

Isn’t that a pretty niche major

[cerulean crow]

No oos

[cerulean crow]

Last year yes. This year not so much

[full dune]

Ah okay

What were your stats like to get into Purdue?

I’m trying to apply there this cycle for CS

[cerulean crow]

CS is insane

Like 1500+ and like 3.9+ and good ecs and essays

AI is supposedly easier, but cuz of its surge in popularity, cud now be harder

And next year is supposed to be the hardest app cycle ever

[full dune]

Really 😭😭

Welp I’m screwed

[full dune]

What stats did you have to get into AI?

I might honestly apply cyber security for Purdue honestly

[cerulean crow]

Uh I’d say p solid

[full dune]

Ah okay

[cerulean crow]

4.1x, 34 act, soon to be published coauthor of ai research at t1 cs university, etc etc

[full dune]

Bruh how do you have the most rejects

That’s crazy

[cerulean crow]

28 of them :D

[full dune]

Damm

[cerulean crow]

I crapshooted like crazyy

[full dune]

That’s crazy

[full dune]

Is that 4.1 weighted?

Bro I have no chance 😔

[cerulean crow]

Yeah

[full dune]

Now I’m deciding whether I want to apply cs with a focus on cyber security or just apply cyber security

Honestly just going to apply cs with a focus

I feel if I apply for cyber security I’m going to pigeon hole myself

[cerulean crow]

That’s just cs

Super competitive

U declare concentration after getting in cs

[cerulean crow]

Cybersecurity major is in another school

So u cant transfer into cs

[full dune]

Yeah I know

That’s why I was debating which major to apply to

And I decided that I’m just going to apply cs

And say fuck it yk

[full dune]

I’m just going to apply cs not cyber security and then after declare for a focus on cyber

[onyx falcon]

cs

poop

[full dune]

Yeah ong

[cerulean crow]

Cs is scuffed

But gl

[full dune]

Yeah it is

But wtv

I have 2 top schools and I’m pretty confident I can maybe get into one of them

I ain’t sure tho

[polar lark]

apply to the major you want!

otherwise you'll always wonder what if

[full dune]

I am that’s the plan!

Applying cs

Then going to focus on cyber security

I feel that’s just the better plan

[sweet horizon]

what the fuck

if thats the most rejects of a2c this year we're all doomed

bro all this time i was lowk thinking your app was mid or something but holy shit

[full dune]

😭😭

That’s what I’m thinking bro

I’m so fucked for this cycle

If that’s what gets the most rejects

I’m so fucked

All I want is uw instate for cs 🙏

If I got rejected from 12 of my other schoos but got into uw I wouldn’t care

[polar lark]

yooo another washingtonian!!

uw is great

[full dune]

Ikr

[polar lark]

nah you got this trust

[full dune]

Yes sir Washingtonian

All I want is uw

[polar lark]

(i did not believe in myself)

but it turned out ok

[full dune]

Did you get in?

[polar lark]

i withdrew since ed

[full dune]

Yeah it did you got into cmu

Ah okay

Makes sense

Like idc where else I get into uw I think is the highest ranked school im applying to for cs

So like if I get into uw

I’ll be happy

[cerulean crow]

😔

[cerulean crow]

Yea ig the main thing was I’m from a competitive school, so like that prolly worked against me

[polar lark]

real 😔

[full dune]

Is it good to standout at a non competitive school?

[polar lark]

yeah!

honestly if i had the choice to redo stuff i probably would not go to the high school im in

[full dune]

Idk how much I standout since we don’t rank lmao

So idek

[polar lark]

it's ok you'll never know if you don't try 👍

we don't rank either

[full dune]

Hopefully it ends up good

Uw my beloved 🙏

I wish they tracked demonstrated interest I would get in solely off interest 😂😂😂

[fresh wagon]

Same bruh we moved and it was prob worse for me

[cerulean crow]

Fr.

Wait but both of y’all are cmu cs

There’s literally nowhere better, uve reached the peak.

[somber cipher]

lol we in the same boat king

Is this enough demonstrated interest

[brave island]

😭

[fresh wagon]

my dream school rejected me but yeah I def appreciate cmu 😭

[cerulean crow]

No way lmao

[cerulean crow]

Still a massive W

[somber cipher]

Dedication is key.

[cerulean crow]

Don’t make me do cmu demonstrated interest again

That nearly killed my sleep schedule last time

[steep bolt]

LMAOOO

[steep bolt]

i thought cmu didn’t do demonstrated interest?

[cerulean crow]

Yea

[steep bolt]

lmao

[autumn wing]

same but i dgaf bout my dream school anymore

probably woulda chosen cmu over usc anyways just cuz of how much better for my major it is

usc rlly opped on me like that

[cerulean crow]

heyyy wassup cmu guy :D

how u liking cmu

[autumn wing]

😭 i love cmu

cmu my new dream school
