WAIT
Is there a limit to how many schools I can apply to with Scoir? No, Scoir does not limit the number of schools where you can apply.
nvm
u can apply to god knows how many
ya my school just uses scoir to send in documents
and to announce decisions on the screen
anyway
as always
cmu ily
please accepet me
i love ur campus
id match w u in every lifetime
š
saaame
praying for good financial aid
cause like
my parents only make $16k a year
I heard cmu is like
Crazy stingy
guys
ok but wait
once they hear
i went to their info session
and they talked about aid and said they were doing something new i dont remember
but basically it was really good aid
i did the npc too and it was a good number
for li
here wait lemme find it
DONT TRUST NPC
NPC WAS OFF BY 11K FOR ONE OF MY SCHOOLS
i asked the lady and she said its accurate as long as ur inputted info is accurateā¦
i did
in the info session
what school was it
well
but
i was gonna say
11K?
lmfao
im instate
the price they agve me
matches my oos friend
THAT SHOULDNT BE HAPPENING
bro
please please please
let me be admitted and let this be accurate
if worst case happens i can just go to purdue for free lmfao
Yea no I think I'm getting jack shit lmao
LMAO
wait same
LOL
mine said 25k
but my sai is higher
so
im -1500 so
what
yea
oh for financial aid
real
how high is ur sai
(if you dont' mind sharing)
either way iām not getting much support from my parents
if any at all
so iām screwed
šš
what does that mean
bro if my schedule wasn't perfect
i would've crashed and burned junior year
also thank god I took so many college classes, I was able to meet a goat of a professor
i have mainly As but like 3 Bs which is okay but my asian dad doesnt approve
bruhhh
i dont know anyone
yknow what tho its ok
oh I'm getting
A- and B's lmao
this semester
its senior year im chillin i kept a 4.0 until now as long as i dont do badly itll still look good
fuck being a straight A student
idc as long as its not stem
bc there's a chance
ap lit??? idc if i get a B
interestingā¦
not fucking over my chances for grad school
itāll be worth it
my dad and lolo were doctors and they loved it
true
thats why im majoring in CS but still taking required premed classes
imma be testing my work ethic
but being in biology or premed makes it harder to get into med school
cause its generic and boring
ik cs is generic but not for med school
lmfaoo
bro
do not do CS
unless you actually love/like it
im in the cs concentration at my high school
LMAO
listen
i genuinely love cs
i got into it 4 yrs ago cause my bf mods video games and i never understand what he does
now he doesnāt understand what i do lmaoo
plus ive taken apcsp apcsa and ib cs
ive gotten a good taste of it i feel
programming and like
hardware networking
stuff like that
its more conceptual stuff than csa but encapsulates more topics
honestly
oh what the hell
its harder than just coding
why is it cybersecurity + cs
that's so fucking cringe
eh I'm fine with that
no bro
like
how do i explain it
so each question requires a certain amount of points and must fit a certain markscheme
whatever
but then the questions will be like
some niche ass topic in cs
and then be 7 points
so you might need to make like
7 points of how vpns promote security
specifically how they want you to
and then do that times a hundred
its so much worse than frqs
the vpn question would be easy too i cant think of a genuinely hard one
I feel like
surely
this one is
is not that obscure
oh yea you said it
oh
the hackers obfuscating files
i cant think of anythingā¦
but our teachers pulls questions from past ib exams or mock exams
and the ones i found online dont even compare
maybe our teacher just hates us
and makes life harder for us
man I just gonna learn theoretical cs
I don't understand why so many people ED to schools they know they can't go to
a lot of them KNEW they couldāfinance wise, at least. they just donāt want to go anymore bc āwhat if x school takes me?! nyu did!ā
which in itself is so bullshit because ED NYU is inflated, not taking away from the accomplishment bc i had friends rejected/waitlisted/deferred etc, but holy cow
report their ass
Oh yeah people just donāt plan well
Itās not my place to do this nglāitās the counselors
šš unfortunately
bro we really need toget them to sign an official contract with penalties
calm luh
nah
why
bc ur ED-ing somewhere
?
like whut
ED ceases to benefit us if you can just break it whenever
a contract will put so much pressure on the kid. Making it legally systematic doesnāt make sense in any regard
well yeah
that's what
doing ED is supposed to mean
also it's a good time to teach kids that actions have conesquences
sure maybe a few hundred kids benefit from it because they are accepted and a handful are not. But making it legally binding makes 1. legal costs for the uni 2. legal costs for kids 3. are kids even allowed to sign a contact? or parents? 4. who is liable? the kid? school? parents?
i agree w u that itās morally wrong
but schools genuinely canāt put any other safe guards
donāt think they will donate to a school in the future that sued them bud
why would you donate to a school that you didn't go to
i mean if they wanna break ed vs if they actually do it is also different
the person said a lot of ppl may break ed
not that they have
- The lawyers probably can get something working, like nonarbitration or smth (idk, contract lawyers are much smarter than me)
- They signed a contract?
- parents can sign
- the parents are liable? (because they hepled sign the contract)
im just asking questions in theory to you, thereās no right answer is my point and itās v complicated. Just donāt be so stern about it and try to understand the nuances and extreme cases that will exist by what ur saying is what im tryna get across
nothing else
wdym stern, someone sign a contract, and though not legally binding, they break it
is that not something worth being stern about
look at it from a systematic way
i think ur too enraged
maybe a personal experience idk
its difficult iirc since lots of applicants are minors
just have parents sign 
and since an adult has to take responsibility for them its kinda messed up how it would work
so someone who didnt actually break the contract has to be legally punished for what the student did
Parents sign contracts for their kids all the time lmao
we already see counselors ruining relationships with unis
yeah but stuff thats not as huge as this
Wdym
like where ur kid will have to be moving and giving money to this uni and stuff like that
You do realize that parents sign contracts with banks for their children
yes because thats not as huge
nobody is like
banking their future in a single bank
what about kids and parents who are not on good terms? a kid applying wo parents knowledge or an orphan
Then don't do ED if you can't handle the consequences?
people make decisions of where to go to college knowing itll heavily influence their life
Parents have to sign Ed regardless
So it's nothing new
not in special circumstances
thats why its hard to make it a legal obligation
No it's just a Pandora's box that colleges refuse to open
esp when circumstances can come up that are valid, but may not be upheld in court
its just overkill
itās like when u sign up on youtube and they tell u make content that follows by the rules. No one persecutes if it violates TOS despite the agreement
obv the stakes are different
exactly
but itās just an analogy
Yea but they have the legal right to persecute right
So what's wrong with colleges making it legal
money, special circumstances that cant be held up in court, taking responsibility for irresponsible minors making a huge decision in their lives
its just not practical for anyone
and if anything were to go to court
thats a huge pain in the ass
for everyone involved
because no matter what many people will break ed agreement
I don't think you understand
My parents
Already had to sign
but they arent going to court if i got in and broke ed
and neither is the college
Because one could be a legally binding contract while the other isn't?
the difference is its less of a pain in the ass because people will break the agreement regardless
and there already are consequences with high schools and collegeās relationships
and its just seen to be worth it to leave it at that
Also if there's a monetary clause in the contract why would we need to go to court
youtube actually cannot sue you
other companies sue you for posting the content
itās simply a content platform
???
i dont get your point
Money?
uni and high school dont have good relationship
And the Ed guarentee
What this is between the parent and uni
counselors sign ed agreements too
and if a student makes a decision with the counselor (which is implied), they are held accountable
yeah fair enough
they shouldnt punish anybody involved for those special circumstances. with anything theres a give and a take and it just works things out more to leave it this way
punish within reason anyways
because again, they already do
no need to push it even further
If you aren't sure
Why are you eding
? What special circumstances
Do you think they will release 14th same day as MIT? Past they never have.
when is it projected to release?
omg guys
it comes it comes
they did 15th last year so 14th this yr
but it probs rolling
But 14th is same as mit. So I really wonder if they will do that.
When were previous years though
Absolutely possible but idk when previous years were
Oh 2023 was March 25
2022 March 26
2021 March 27
ābetter chancesā
thats the allure of ed
but they dont understand the weight of the commitment
and an earlier decision too
its just not necessary, they make sure it doesnt happen again by generally not trusting counselors that let it happen
and its better for a student who decides thats not what they want for their future or can afford
even if there are assholes that misuse ed
cmu bonus doesnāt exist
so ivy week or next week
not terrible odds
When did they announce the date last yr? Maybe soon.
I think like 3 days before š
this boutta be me trust
Cmu just sent me an scs email im defff getting in
they sent me the engineering one
Omg š«š«
At the bottom it says āgetting this email is a sign that youāre gonna get acceptedā
OMG I JUST NOTICED š±š¤Æš±
Damn you got me
I think this is a sign
Im kidding
If only š
Because my major is data science, I initially thought the email mentioning data analysis was customized for meš„²lol
daydreaming...
I applied for IS
well, if it was customized based on our major, then it would be more likely to be selective
But it might be better to just ask other applicants directly lol
as the wish Dartmouth '10 dude says
doesn't mean anything if it ain't in a decision letter
tbh they always say that
Dam
Canāt wait for another week man
Can they send an email with release date instead please?
that too
I'm like pretty pretty sure its the 14th-15th
I asked them and they said mid-march
no they hate me š„ /j
me too TT
Depends on what you applied for ig
Oh I see
Any ED people who got it? Makes sense they didnāt get it cuz they wouldnāt send it twice
Or any RD who didnāt get it?
Yeah I didn't get it either and I applied ed
That, idk
jesus not a single AO except for UT Dallas came to my school
nah
i just live chatted them
"We are hoping to release decisions within the next week or so."
shiver me timbers
My theory points to it being the 15th or 22nd I think
Assuming they stick to their Saturday pattern
hopefully 15
good luck to yall
thank u cmu number 1 fan
next week..
praying
is cmu acc gonna come out next wk š
grrr
how's information systems here
in terms of everything (program, competitiveness to get in, etc)
n
Do we know when they drop
Oh it's real!
Lemme know once you feel like it
Imagine they come out on the 14th also
oh god no
UCLA ucsd and cmu on the same day wth š
Wait, UCSD is coming out on the 14th?
I'm gonna hate pi day after all these rejections š
seems like it most likely yes
Wait ucla too on pi day?
thats not confirmed it may come on 21st too
but i saw people saying that it may come on 14th no one knows for sure
They should just move up ivy day to pi day and call it done.
Everybody seems to be liking pi day now.
real
Yeah, prob cause itās mid March and a Friday
omg no not pi day
i work at blaze pizza so im required to work that day plss i cannot wait for my decisions anymore
got my nails red to manifest cmu
out of sheer curiosity, is anyone here going to cmu for ai or stats+ml?
or planning on committing for
doing IS
Information Systems
ooooh thats hella cool
W
you applied rd?
lmao thank you but itās mostly bc i canāt decide between policy and ece š
yeah no def do both fs
ai + ethics is gonna be a rly rly rly hot topic for a long time
yeahhhh thatās why i plan to do research as a professor or work as a lawyer in this subject but either way hopefully itāll be successful
wYUP
real
i applied maths so basically the same
if i get in...
same
do we know what day it is yet?
š¦
realistically
were thinking
14th/15th
how accurate is this? we dont know--the office keeps saying diff dates
the most ive seen is 14th/15th tho
Have they said anything yet besides this week?
rejected twice on same day would not go hard
Yeah I doubt they would do 14th. Maybe they'll stick with their sat release trend I'm thinking. š¤
historically itās been around the end of the week
Interesting
yea no real idea
it happens when it does
bc itās either this week or ivy week
so take your poison ig
i hate rolling
The admission office said itās coming out this week?
i thought its historically been friday not saturday
asked live chat and they said they were planning to
Oh damn
Yo icl Iām so nervous š
Same š
ughh cmu stop edging me pleaaassee
is ed binding anymore if you get deferred and then get in rd
nope
wait did u ever send a loci to them
someone asked & i called
but my friends called and they said by april 1
soo take it as u will
thatās true!
thatās why i think itās friday and then rolling
cooked
hi
me lon
No ig post yet from them. Hoping they post soon.
a post means�
Decision date
theyre NOT posting
Absolutely diabolical
theyll suprise you
idk I asked today
literally 6 minutes ago

The chat ppl say different things all the tome
Time
I dont think there is a common consensus of a date
Devastating
so randomly release decisions?
throughout the week?
fuck my chungus life
THE 14th šš
Are they going to do the thibg where the 14th is mostly acceptances then the rest is waitlist/rejection
Itās over šš„
Is it official?
4 this friday š
GUYS
PAUSE
OK
FRIDAY ROLLING SO ED KIDS
WHAT HAPPENDED W US
SO THEYRE SENDING OUT BATCHES
4-5 PM ON FRIDAY EST
ITS OFFICAL I CALLED
there we go
Dang fr? Is that just Ed deferred?
Wow
if you were deferred it has no effect on when youāre getting the result
Ic
Damn bruh
Gl then
Y'all got this
This is crazy
Just relase all at the same time
šš
am i the cmu messenger
Ges
source?
called
gg
its on friday? with mit? šš
two rejections in one day. fuck my stupid baka life
Real
so
that means
Notification on 14th = Admits
Days after = Rejected/waitlist
Maybe!
maybe
hi!
other people received acceptances after the inital round last yr
so i wouldnt assume that entirelyyyyy
so more time based
oh kms š
but thank you i hate being wl'ed
NO I SAID UR NAME..
no they defer ed
or reject
or accepet
i believe in you too
wait while ur here could you ask if CMU reuqeated any extra docs for fin aid for them
OH that or if your friend recieved it
i found zero info abt it online
kill me kill me kill me
thank you š
cum
icl ima cry either way
wtf is this system ššš
so if you dont get a decision by those dates youre rejected? why not say it before then
can they not just release decisions like a normal school š
ts shit pmoing me lowkey
maybe youll be the speical case
who knows
pls let there be a ed deferral boost
i cant keep feeling a desperaste ex
plssss
so real
if i dont get into cmu im just going instate fml (im lying)
Even if I get in financial aid is another tension
well they don't send out notifs lol
#1 IS program
On their insta they just said they are not going to give a date.
they also hasnāt given a day or time yet they said on the insta
yeah ^^
also the weather was so nice today at CMU
people were like outside and chilling and picnicking and like enjoying and playing frisbee n shi
tshirts and shi too
and like everyone was so happy cuz the weather finally got good
so over what time period does this occur
that will be disgusting
me after getting no noti before the 21st
WAit huh
Oh wait so they send out decisions in waves tf
sounds like it
heck even a waitlist will feel like a win ngl
it means they just ran out of space but you were good enough to get in
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
you just had to be there
shit was wild
shit was horrific
but one of my friends was one of the 32āļø š¤
guys rubbing the nose of the tartan dog DOES NOT workāi have it as my home screen since november/october šš¤
also they pulled the same shit w ed w someone say they canāt give a date and some giving us one
i just think cmu likes to be quirky like that
March 14
confirmed?
Some admissions representative confirmed apparently
manifesting š
š
ts pmo
Fr
Hopefully itās not like last year again ā ļø
sorry to break it to you lmao
ed was somehow worse
When does cmu release
Pleaseeeee
48hrs???
Rip
cooked
Have cmu ever released on a non Friday historically?
but probably a long time ago
i hope cmu accepts me
Same
i wrote lwk a banger second essay
i hope me staying up till 4 am cooking that shit up was worht it š
please cmu šš»
wdym what happened last year
no
youāre just not allowed to use it inconginto
im gonna assume no one knows when cmu is out
šš
can i feel you releasing it like right now
never cook that sentence again š„
bro š š š š š š š
i just realized what i typed
ok guys NEU waitlist, UIUC rejection⦠cmu please
same
im tellin yall
neu wl/rej doesnt mean anything
NEU results dont mean anything
because of yield management
were all making it in cmu guys...
iām going to crash out
why
cmu
has been my dream school
and i have no sense
where i stand
w them
itās like having a crush
and heās leading you on by flirting
but then doesnāt do anything
and itās on and off again
now itās when ur texting him
and heās taking forever and itās just ā¦
cmu leading me on fr
pause šš
how many ppl got deffered from ED was it a high percentage compared to nromal
allegedly I heard it was a few dozen
IM SO SCARED
so not a lot?
so deffered good thing then?
but they dont take many deffered right
idk
WAIT WAITLIST DIRST?
i thought ppl earlier said accepted first right
I think it is
Yeah
My friend got in last year first
I don't trust the figure
Danggg
but I mean
gl š
Thanks bro, did u also apply?
seeing all the RD here
i mean AO said it and its gonna make me feel better so 
nahh my friend did tho
wait what did the ao say
opened saw no confetti and crashed out
no bro
they released all acceptances at
5pm
I got deferred at 6pm
why cant they do it at the same time
they got one job
wtf i got mine at 5 but deferred š
bc the portal will crash
but ppl would still check right
most people dont check the second decisions come out
wait
oh
and if they load all of the decisions into the portal at the same time it can also cause issues
mightve been 4 i remember seeing ppl post instagram
IKR
wait so RD specualted to come firday right
they dont send one out unless its been like an hour and you still havent opened it
Yes, someone called and that was said
oh so its confirmed
nah but it ain't as legendary as the beaver breakdown
š
hopefully friday aint a shitshow
This is what my friend from cmu said
oooh
I got my legendary rec in
from a cs professor
please make it
pls pls pls
pls pls pls
pls
i cant take it no mooore
its so close
too close im so scared
im ready to breathe
dude what is this fuck ass decision release system š
if akasha can take people constantly refreshing their pages at the start of furina banner for at least a few hours the portal can take people opening their decisions at the same time
ye
akasha is run by like a single person i think
it's for comparing and ranking builds
but decisions vary person to person so each portal requires something different
and that is connected to a bunch of things backend
probably
i saw a wiki page on college app portals a while ago
apparently they just put the decision in beforehand and then it's released at a certain time
Can you aend
OO WAIT
I KNOW
i have no idea where it is now this was like 3-4 months ago
THEY PUT ON SLATE A DAY BEFORE
š
what.
thats how school have portal astrology š
theyd do that to me
yeah that's why people believe portal astro works
So some schools upload like 2 hours before to stop it
ok guys boycotting college
but idt it modifies anything on the user's end
withdrawing my cmu app
Cough cough mit
idk why but this reminded me of the girl who got into upenn and for white lie tshirt wrote rpi class of 2029
except someone commited to rpi found it offensive
bc she was kinda making fun of it compared to penn
She should have put penn state
LOL
see all i want is to commit to princeton and where a harvard sweatshirt every day
thats all ive ever really wanted
is that so much to ask?
Aaaaaaaa
Actually terrified
I applied for IS during ED round and got deferred
This might be it chat
nahh I was deferred too we got it šš»
Probably shouldnāt have done ED but I went there during the summer for a program and it was great
And CMU is like the only school that doesnāt give + odds for ED
Praying for all of us man
š š
What major are u?
I might be cooked tho since like 3 kids from my school bagged athletic acceptances
I did statsml
nah nah trust in urself
They come out in waves/rolling?
thats what chat is saying right
data science and statistics +1...wish we could get inš„²
Cmu is rolling right?
tmr as in 14th or 13th in us
no need to be rude
Letās recap by popular speculation and phone calls: itās rolling (who gets it first? debatable. but likely acceptances). Itās coming out tmrw starting at 4:30-5 PM
^
^
^
^
Ok so the only thing that confuses me is how the rolling is gonna work
Like okay, they release decisions in periods instead of all at once
but in what period, over the course of hours, days? etc?
They just release decisions all throughout the week
Ok that was my main question
So more than likely a notification tmw is gonna be an acceptance
Yes
dooming
Me till march is over
Welp looks like my emails gonna be empty for another day
U gotta believe!
Too many ppl asking
So is it pi day?
Then it's coming !!
aaaAAA
so i called admissions/fin aid and asked if they have my SSN on file for my fasfa. they said they have enough info to link it to me already and already have a financial aid package ready for me
im RD, is this any sign
Okay them saying they already have a fin aid package is crazy
guys i think CMU may drop tonight
for ed, it was supposed to drop like 15th and it came 13th for me
or is it like a day thing that they drop on thursdays?
I don't believe their servers are incapable of handling all applicants logging into the website at once. All other schools with more applicants have managed to do so.
I just think cmu is quirky like that
i wouldn't mind that
Same
i wouldn't mind an acceptance tbh
idrc what decision it is i just need something to pregame mit
tbh I'm not clear on the significance of their rolling release
has it happened before
if UCLA and NYU can anyone can
Yeah but it was on friday
And they said before
I believe last year they did Friday too
Hi! Thing is theyāve done this before during ED and RD last year
Just because they can handle it
doesnāt mean they will do it like they
If you have problems with it, call admissions
Iām not really sure about this, but if I sent an email less than two weeks ago with some updated information and they replied, āWe will add this to your admission file,ā does that mean my admission decision hadnāt been made yet?
fin aid and admissions are separate offices
No it probably has
Maybe the admission officers felt bad for usš
Deferral was def a pity move
Hopefully there is some miracle š¤
Oh, at least you applied ed
I applied rd
Iām cooked š§āš³
It doesn't matter for Rd tho right
