I dont know how ece works at cmu so i cannot say

#

What are your interests?

#

You applied ece? Was there a second choice

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 3:55 AM

#

not this yr for ED

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 3:55 AM

#

Yea same for me

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 3:55 AM

#

got a deferral tho so chances are there

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 3:55 AM

I did cs first choice

chilly iron I did cs first choice

cs cmu is crazy good luck

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 3:55 AM

#

the cs program kinda scared me

#

but i knew at the end of the day

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 3:55 AM

wicked surge cs cmu is crazy good luck

Im a senior lmfao

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 3:55 AM

oh shoot my bad

what do u like the campus

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 3:56 AM

#

and if im coding, i enjoy being able to do some off side work in hardware

olive wyvern Feb 5, 2025, 3:56 AM

let me in fr

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 3:56 AM

#

wicked surge what do u like the campus

Its got character, it is funny

#

I do enjoy it

#

Its very atypical tho

#

Like its built on a ravine lmao

#

So you get things like floors 1, 3, 4 and 5 from the cs building all being "ground floors"

#

The humanities section of campus (left of the grass area (the "cut") if youre looking from forbes is like more normal

#

Discounting the tennis pit which is funny

#

The right side (mostly stem) is pretty much all connected via tunnels/covered bridges

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 3:58 AM

#

olive wyvern let me in fr

Fingers crossed!

#

I think ece you can do a lot of systems stuff too (you guys have 213 as well; intro to systems)

mild galleon RAVINE

Its funny

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:01 AM

#

lwky it makes sense

#

the bridge to the library and the main gates building

#

i always wondered

#

why there were tunnels on our tour

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:01 AM

#

The idea is like

#

If you go right on forbes while facing cmu you eventually get to a bridge going over the ravine

#

Theres a train going under there

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:03 AM

#

THAYS

#

SO AWESOME

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:03 AM

I think this is taken from tepper

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:03 AM

#

mild galleon ok tbf i haven’t ever been on a traditional train

Its a freight line

#

So no passengers 😔

#

#

Photo taken from under

#

Anyway the ravine has a garage you can ride the elevator up 5 floors to get to a separate outdoor area that connects to floors 3 of gates and newell simon

#

#

This area

#

(Seen from floor 6 of gates)

Other angle facing the other way

is cmu near hiking trails

or is this just like parks

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:16 AM

#

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:16 AM

#

mild galleon or is this just like parks

Like right behind porter/baker hall you enter schenley park

#

Theres a big field but like

#

If you go deeper there are trails

#

Theyre not super long trails but they are in nature

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:17 AM

i’m surprised i didn’t see this during my visit

#

OH OAKLAND

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:18 AM

#

chilly iron Its a little more urban than a suburb

yeah it’s just lwky kinda shocking seeing this much between

#

esp compared to nyc where anything nature like is an hour away

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:19 AM

#

Ye

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:19 AM

#

oh wait like one more question how did u know prior to committing that cmu was for you

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:19 AM

#

pittsburgh is definitely more urban than my home town of sunnyvale in the bay area but if you go a little farther from campus/oakland you get more suburban vibe

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:19 AM

It was either cmu or ut austin (turing scholars) for me

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:19 AM

#

😁😁

#

explorationnnn

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:20 AM

#

They were the best options i had gotten into

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:20 AM

#

oh yeah austin is cracked too

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:20 AM

#

I picked cmu because the course listing was rly huge for cs courses lmao

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:20 AM

#

fair enough, cmu is one of the only few colleges thatd allow me to do policy w enginnering

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:21 AM

#

Also my parents did grad school here so

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:21 AM

#

but my biggest fear is me finding out i don’t wanna be an engineer

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:21 AM

#

They biased me a little

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:21 AM

#

mild galleon but my biggest fear is me finding out i don’t wanna be an engineer

Hm what makes you think you might not like it

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:21 AM

#

wait awe that’s kinda sweet in a way

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:21 AM

#

Its funny i was born here but we left to the bay area when i was like 1

#

So i have no memories

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:22 AM

#

chilly iron Hm what makes you think you might not like it

my only real fear is me finding out enginnering isn’t my passion entirely, i love working with hard ware and exploring the generals of it (i’ve done projects and research blah blah) but i rlly enjoy law and mock trial so idrk how the switch would go & cmus role in that

#

bc ultimately i love cmu

#

i don’t regret EDing to it and i’d do it again

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:23 AM

#

mild galleon my only real fear is me finding out enginnering isn’t my passion entirely, i lov...

Ah so you have like multiple passions

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:23 AM

#

yeah

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:23 AM

#

And you dont know what to pick

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:23 AM

#

pretty much it and ironically enough my common app essay was abt me picking

#

😢😢

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:23 AM

#

Id say that what matters more than choice is execution

#

You can prob have a cool career in anything its just how you do it thats what matters i think

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

yeah that’s kinda why i’m with cmu bc of their duo combos in majors

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

If ece is anything like cs... it may be brutally hard to do two majors

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

but often times is what happens if i transfer, the process, and the people i met alongside enginnering

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

But like engineering w public policy is one major so

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:25 AM

#

wasn’t it like

#

a double technically

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:25 AM

#

I dont know

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:26 AM

#

i mean in the end

#

i’ll see how everything goes, it’s all hypotheticals rn

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:26 AM

#

Ik like the bxa programs (cs + some art thing) are like lighter on cs than raw cs

#

Which tbh would be unmanageable any other way

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:26 AM

#

yeah i always wondered how that worked

#

is CS at cmu both hands on and theory

#

or is it leaning to one or the other

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:27 AM

#

Ah

#

Its kind of partly what you wanna make it

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 4:28 AM

#

srsly woah

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:29 AM

#

The way the cs program works is there are the core (obviously) and theres also a little bit of everything (you have to pick one course in several categories - ai, systems, etc). Then you also have to do like 4 courses in one area (concentration) or a minor outside of cs

#

The core courses are like somewhat theoretical tho

#

Like not much circuits or hardware at all

wicked surge Feb 5, 2025, 4:30 AM

#

the college of fine arts is nice

chilly iron Feb 5, 2025, 4:31 AM

Cs electives or gen ed electives?

mild galleon Feb 5, 2025, 7:44 PM

i unf do not control cmu 😔

#

but it makes sense imo

#

its gonna help w reducing the delay in rd

#

cmu is getting rlly popular rn

#

and it probs a way to help deal w it

hardy maple Feb 6, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

dude

#

lowk

#

idk how cmu is not at least a t15

#

like i think if u swapped cmu and caltech around

mild galleon Feb 6, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

depends on the felid

hardy maple Feb 6, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

everything would make sm sense

mild galleon Feb 6, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

hardy maple like i think if u swapped cmu and caltech around

ermm..

hardy maple Feb 6, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

i feel like cmu is more or less good at everything no

mild galleon Feb 6, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

as much as i love

#

cmu

hardy maple Feb 6, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

like caltech is insane at stem but ass at the humanities

mild galleon Feb 6, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

that doesnt make sense

hardy maple Feb 6, 2025, 4:24 AM

and cmu is like

mild galleon Feb 6, 2025, 4:24 AM

😭

#

its

hardy maple Feb 6, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

pretty much as good at stem imo

#

and better at the humanities

mild galleon Feb 6, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

calTECH

#

they dont offer as many humanties

hardy maple Feb 6, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

yeah

mild galleon Feb 6, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

they bulit their rep

hardy maple Feb 6, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

but CMU is deadass as strong at stem no

#

if its worse its a negligible difference

mild galleon Feb 6, 2025, 4:25 AM

#

erm

hardy maple Feb 6, 2025, 4:25 AM

#

maybe like biological sciences

mild galleon Feb 6, 2025, 4:25 AM

#

depends on which STEM

#

like they got enginnering down

#

but the sciences they need to work on

hardy maple Feb 6, 2025, 4:25 AM

#

math i think caltech is a little better

#

yeah

#

maybe bio science

#

idk

mild galleon Feb 6, 2025, 4:25 AM

#

its better by a bit

#

they have a long standing name

#

nobels, etc

#

id choose cmu over caltech 100%

#

but its a bit crazy to say

#

theyre better overall

#

i think cmu is closing the gap fs

#

but they have a few years

hardy maple Feb 6, 2025, 4:26 AM

#

mild galleon i think cmu is closing the gap fs

nah

#

even if cmu was like 100k more expensive id tgo go cmu

#

lmao

mild galleon Feb 6, 2025, 4:27 AM

😭 ur on ur own on that one

#

i dont think i can afford 180k a year

hardy maple Feb 6, 2025, 4:27 AM

if im going to an MIT reject school

#

at least ill go to the better one

mild galleon Feb 6, 2025, 4:27 AM

#

oh thats not..

#

thats not it

hardy maple Feb 6, 2025, 4:27 AM

#

caltech is mit reject more

#

than cmu

#

is what my take is

mild galleon Feb 6, 2025, 4:28 AM

#

ok imo mit has caltech rejects vice versa, the name mit rejects is silly

#

but also

#

it depends on what ur studying

hardy maple Feb 6, 2025, 4:28 AM

#

the cross enrollment

#

is like

#

65% mit

#

35% caltech

mild galleon Feb 6, 2025, 4:28 AM

mit is generous w aid

#

and most admits are from the east & might not wanna leave

mild galleon wait calm tho 🙏

they do it to keep high retention because cmu is so selective that their admits likely got into the other top programs (umich, nyu, penn state, elon, etc) so it helps keep cmu in the back of their minds while theyre getting other decisions

severe remnant screenings and then auditions

you apply w the common app then do a supplemental artistic application, then they review your artistic app and if they like it they do an academic pre-screen to make sure you'll get into the school and they're not wasting their time, then they notify you between mid-december and mid-january if they want you to interview or audition, then they make their final decision
