#Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) (2024-2025)
1 messages Ā· Page 6 of 1
IMO it would show that CMU is your first choice, it kinda shows loyalty
Yea but I got deferred
not rlly
they donāt consider demonstrated interest
or else there wouldāve been an ed boost
Yh def
Do deferred peeps have better chances?
I mean, I feel like theyāll take into account that you had less time to prepare your app
And that u somewhat prefer them over other schools since you applied early
Might not affect too much but still gives the AO a feeling ya know?
šš
that wouldāve been considered ed
Nah just be cope
and then there wouldāve been an ed boost
Did yall submit test scores?
Yea ofc
I applied cs
Ah
Ofc test scorws
Are you in their 25th percentile or higher?
Where did the rumor about results coming tn come from?
i called
but also the released it
Oh great
There 25th percentile is 1510
So you def wanna be at least that if you submit
What about for cs?
For cs?
CS prob even higher
For information systems
I've heard they like to see an 800 sat math
The one I gave was overall
Do they take into account school average? As in if I have less but I have 100+ over school average?
Any clg would like to see an 800 math...
No like
That's what they want?
Shits competitive as fuck 
they said they are the same, i asked them
Any help plz
@strong sky Do you feel like releasing the scores now?
They don't
let me take a nap first imma sleep on it šÆš£ļø
take ur time as long as I get accepted
š Le school counselor capped
Well, just because some things are the way they are doesn't mean they're right. I think rolling admissions only unnecessarily adds more anxiety for applicants during those few days. If I get accepted, Iāll definitely tell them about it.
Iām not sure
even so itās usually different people working on itāthereās a lot of miscommunication. also, they calculate aid before decisions are known
fair enough
Could you explain what you mean plz
hi guys
Like some schools give more APs than others so they see out of how many aps you took out of how many you were offered at that schools. Basically did you take advantage of your school providing harder classes. The harder classes you take, the better it is
Hi
For my school grade 11 and 12 is only ib
Thatās why I was hoping sat average would help
Doesnāt matter. Thatās what your school offered. Donāt compare your schools to others. As long as you took the hardest classes offered at your school then its good
Basically if you took easier classes then itās bad
So, if I took challenging classes but had a low IB score, would that still be seen positively? For example, I have reasons why my grades were decent but not excellent, which Iāve explained in my essays, but I did take difficult Higher Level courses.
Yes and itās better than taking easier classes and getting 100%
Grades are not everything
Letās hope š¤
@autumn torrent you are still here lmao crazy
Pregaming decisions is crazy lmao
When I got my ED decision it was an instant deferral so I doubt order has any meaning
Donāt they usually announce smth on insta before decisions they havenāt done anything like that so idk if itās coming out today or tmrw or this week even
right
People last year said phone calls/live chat was like really contradicting but hopefully itās tmrw
This seems accurate
I checked insta they announced with a post 3-5 days before
2023 and 2024
March 12 2024 and march 22 2023
So exactly 3 days before
2022 too
But people have called up CMU and received the answer of the results this week
Maybe they forgor
if i get into cmu i will eat a whole melon
No way an entire undergrad admissions team forgets
Valid point
it means they liked you enough not to reject you but if you applied regular action your chances would have probably been the same
Time to doom
fr
Read online that last year hella ppl called and they gave like very contradicting responses to everybody and everyone was confused so idk
Letās just wait and see
I hope itās tmrw
We ball
i hope its not lmao
so what is the consensus on when it might come out
tmr 5pm est ish
Can someone logically and statistically rule out today
when is it coming
In the next few days ,per live chat. So I guess rolling as expected.
didnt they say it starts tmr
Highly likely
bro no
NO
NOT ANOTHER
ED
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
yeah pi day seems somewhat likely
Pls cmu
fr
when are they starting to come out? tomorrow?
i thought they were start to come out the 15th
^
@rigid imp @silk night Donāt consider this officialāwe called, they may be wrong.
oh interesting
got it
thank you
does cmu send an email notification or the decision just appears in the portal?
I'm guessing they're dropping them all over the weekend
I have screenshots from live chat saying they're most likely gonna go out by mid march
the latter
we know this, itās just what they define as mid march bc that could be tmrw / weekend
but it could also be the week following up
it spans a week so iām assuming itās this weekend and the week afterward
yeah
oh gotchu
they didnāt do it ED
bet
maybe thatāll change now
ohh
but i doubt it
could be
weāll see tho
should be 5pm if they release right
yea yea
usually people @ everyone here
right
so youāll find out either way
yea
when are yall predicting this one again
šš
bet bet
tmrw
and over the weeknd
bc itās rolling
šš
ok tomorrow is kinda hectic lwk so if it does release you can ping me with proof that its out saying its out and ill ping if i can
but mention the rolling part too
bc ill forget
thank u sm!!
yeah ofc
What time it start rolling tomorrow?
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 EST. People called and were told either this week (always a Friday, so) or mid-marchātake with that as you will. CMU is known for being very heavily varying in responses!
According to someone who got in last year:
There is likely two rounds of acceptances, the earliest ones. Then comes waitlisted, then auds, and then finally the rejections. The span of the rolling decisions could be through the weekend all the way to the end of the weekāreally insane.
Erm, apart of this: deferred students donāt get a boost. I asked about thisāyouāre looked at alongside regular, nothing special. In addition, youāre applying to your major and not the school entirely. Good luck everyone!
can u guys tell im in love w cmuā¦.
rooting for you more than me atp šš
its looking dire š
thatās so real
cmu admissions is notoriously bad
They said by mid march
@mild galleon
is that not what i said
itās either tmrw or further
they told other people
including me
itās tmrw
šš
tmrw is technically mid march in terms of friday
didnāt some kids get in 15th and some all the way to 23 had to wait
if it does happen i donāt want people to like get scared they didnāt get it yk
itās always good to assume the worst
so you can be suprised
š real
but i think itās a pretty reliable paragraph to just get a sense of cmu admissions
fair
True
bro they pulled this same shit with my rec letter
bro the people on livechat said they didn't recieve it
the email said they did
i sent it feb 20th
see
š
cmu is heavy on miscommunication
I trust email more
fr š
also
i kinda got annoyed at retyping dates and stuff
š
so i wrote it
based off what i heard and know
surely i get in tmrw
we all will

what if i delete discord and social media till tmrw 5 PM
would i touch grass finally
šš we wouldnāt know
yea
my ass is never gonna get to touch it
regardless if I get in
bright sign
yes
cmu were shitters anyways
yes
bum ass school
XD
did u do scs
no cs
What else would i do
oh
well is that the computer science one
theory is better
i think i did that lol
ermmmm
coz idk how to do musics :[
chances i get into any of these š (cmu esp)
You got it š„
good luck with them
ššš
wtf deferred from bing
idk bro

thank u
i wish u all the cmu luck
no.
chance me
we're in the same position basically
huh
omg purdueee
i thought honors get their fee waived
i might go there
no bro I did the shotgun
sbu honors isnāt a free ride
š
purdue is def doable
ok tbf iām a holistic applicant
fr
still no insta announcement š
i have high hopes for cmu since i applied to dietrich and it actually has a high acceptance rate compared to the other schools
but uh
thats not to say im not cooked
same but its still <15%
oh i thought it was mid 20s
ivyscholars is reporting a 24% rate
but they could be wrong still
nono ppl are saying tomorrow the rollout begins
ok ty
ye i saw that but another source said 13% https://www.joinleland.com/library/a/carnegie-mellon-acceptance-rate-overview but lowkey this seems unreliable so idk ig we'll see what happens soon š
mmm very very interesting
WELL I HOPE ITS HIGH ENOUGH THAT WE BOTH GET IN
what major??
professional writing
gl bro u got this
tyty you too!
i applied information systems instead of cs
i wasn't just gonna throw away the application fee applying CS
ahhhh so you're smart
playing the game
i dont blame you if i was a cs major id do the exact same
im still cooked
Is tmr projected 5 pm est or cst?
on a scale of 1-10 how confident do you feel in your application?
Est i believe
in my essay + supplements, they are the best i could have done
in my grades most definitely not
lmaooo
Thank you š„°
lucky pst kids
if i get the decision back that is]
there could be 3 decisions for me tomorrow
cmu, uci, and possibly ucsd
next decision is prolly gonna be wisconsin for me
i applied wisconsin RD instead of EA like an idiot
is there a big benefit to wisconsin EA?
idk
i love how CMU is releasing decisions the second their admissions hotline shuts down at 5PM
they're so girlboss for that
for cs?
stony's is better anyway
bing's acceptance rate dropping each yr a lot idk why
but their comp sci in general isnt nearly as good
theyre being wildly picky for a school w such a low yeild rate
š
most of my friends got outright rejected
nah thatd be collosion

People called and were told either this week (always a Friday, so) or mid-marchātake with that as you will. CMU is known for being very heavily varying in responses!

ye id think so too but idk
what is AUD
for their music school
okay
do we know whether they send out emails? or is it just looking for the status update at the portal
the latter
ahhh okay nice
let me include that in the paragraph
students ED never get a boost deferred or accepted in ED round
CMU's ED and RD rate are the same
i know
some people
were speculating
over it
thats why i mentioned it there
š
UIUC and UT-Austin are weird. At my school, 7 students with lower GPAs and weaker overall profiles than mine got accepted...possibly because of overqualification
I'm oos cs tho
is cmu confirmed comin out tomorrow
i think its confirmed they will start releasing tmr
idk if all will release though
understood
how do you know they had weaker overall profiles though
and why are you overqualified
i think this is cope
yeah
i don't think so
but let me check
alright yeah there wasn't
congrats on davidson!
the one from last year was dead af so they never made one
ty!
i didn't apply lmao i'm just in here being nosy
you are about to witness peak despair in like 24 hours
if they pull the rolling shit again... my condolences fr
yea im a college freshman
in 2015 CMU accidentally accepted like 500 students
Vox is a general interest news site for the 21st century. Its mission: to help everyone understand our complicated world, so that we can all help shape it. In text, video and audio, our reporters explain politics, policy, world affairs, technology, culture, science, the climate crisis, money, health and everything else that matters. Our goal is ...
it was 800 actually
i can relate
at my school a bunch of people got into g eorgia tech who were less qualified than me
what happened?
so i was clearly yield rejected lol
i wish schools would be more transparent about that type of stuff
which school?
I'd rather die
did u get in btw?
š¤Ø
they waitlisted like 16k people and only took 32
and also didnāt really communicate with waitlisted students at all
theyāve waitlisted a lot of people before but never that much
like 10k people accepted a spot and only 32 got in
one of my friends here was one of the 32 lol
did they waitlist more than they rejected xD
one of my other friends on full tuition got into northwestern and stanford and got waitlisted from cmu too
no they still rejected more
they waitlisted like 30% i think
hm they deferred me
30%????
so maybe they want me?
THATS INSANE

i mean cmu doesnāt have that massive of an app pool compared to other high-ranking schools
how do you know you were overqualified?
or rather, that they were less qualified?
admissions are holistic, it's not a blind measure of statistics
I'd be...pretty surprised if Georgia tech yield protected at all
This pure cope. Stats is not the only thing that matters. Your essays or ecs or recommendations couldāve been bad. I hate when people like you look on others cuz of jealousy. Colleges wouldnāt accept āless qualifiedā and itās not exactly random. There has to be one thing that appealed to the AOs. Feels like this is rage bait idk
especially for their engineering and cs schools, which are some of the best in the country
People basing shit off from just school stats has to be the dumbest thing
Maybe his personality shined through in his essays ā¤ļø
Im scared
we all are
shiver me timbers
What time tmrw
4?5?
i love cmu admissions <3
chat should we open them up together
i love how its supposedly the night before decisions come out, and we have a total of nada. no emails, no news, no nothing
that was ed
but also
we might be terribly wrong
and its next week
or the week after
or april 1st
no way the whole admission line would just lie like that
this is also consistent with past years
the second friday of march is typical
they said
mid march
that can be
next week
maybe the 14th people are wrong
who knows
pretty sure multiple people confirmed it
i am one of them and again
the office
could always be wrong
people who appiled past years
aren't they the ones doing it
Est?
yes
they cant coordinate
lol wait has the office just lied?
why do u think we have several
ok pause
There are several accounts of "by april 1st", "mid march", and "this week"
im just saying dont put all ur money
on tmrw
if it happens, yay!
tomorrow should literally be the middle of march
and "by april 1st" is kinda a nothing burger since they say that every year
and it doesn't mean "on" april 1st
i never said on
and also
we dont control
we can predict
thats why i say speculate
Guys
If you all pray for me getting in
And I get in
I'll single handedly
Fix whatever the fuck
Cmu is doing
With their admissions
we all will get in
exactlyyyyy
lets manifest tog
š
yk
i feel like cmu should pay us for all this research
abt their decison day
like man
Now I know why their mascot is the tartan
At least a hug or sum
The way their admissions office be acting
Cmu hug ā¤ļøā¤ļøš®š®
oh..
We're being jerked back and forth like a dog on a leash
Wtf did you think I'd say
rearrange the letters
Degenerate
Oh
š®
Less elegant but that also works
Do you know what you did wrong
we just like messing w yall
Accept me
āHow can I avoid being like you?ā
š
actually
I don't believe you
@mild galleon why would an engineering major
be an AO
i predict @mild galleon will get in bc she has mentioned cmu the most
excuse me, i am actually andrew carnegie
like surely there are more productive things to do with ur life
oops
thats good tho
if true
whoever says cmu the most wins an acceptance
cmu
u want aos to care about the school
it's so over
while we're all stressed about our futures and shit, yall might wanna check out the new Chappel Roan song
it's fire
carti dropping tmr š„
I hate this
The song
lmao why
The flute or whatever
nah bro I got a good safety locked in
I'm bing chilling
even if i get rejected
I just listen to carti
And it'll be ok
And the āshe gets the job doneā
Gotta be a d1 hater
cmu tomorrow?
real
is that historically like that or
like I'll be happy with any one of my schools
is cmu most likely coming out tomorrow
same i got my ea all my rds are shots in the dark š
Womp womp

*first
I JUST WANT A DECISION PLEASE CMU IF YOU CAN HEAR ME
Man I hope it's acceptance firt
that means if you get a notification tomorrow, then you might be in.
I heard they were all gonna be out by mid-march
So decisions are probably gonna be released over the course of the weekend
if I had to make a guess, yes?
lmao crazy
wait hello
me who applied to I.S
what website is that?
the a2c calendar
thanks!
Yes
Oh shit
That was a guess
Take it with a grain of salt
I think this year they changed up their patterns
have AO told us anything relating to the time?
I should just go up to Warner hall and ask
HAHAHA
ooh okok
well it comes out when it comes out
just accept me pls
legit since imma be crashing at my office in uc tmw morning 9am swing by Warner hall
mostly joking but what if
yes pls
so
is it typical for CMU to release theirs in the morning
Based on previous decisions
Some years yes
ah
well
at least It ain't that much of a wait
I will take that over having to wait until damn..7pm
guys
some cmu undergrad said that their prof told them "hopefully recieve decision march 14th"
CMU out?
9 "AM"?š
is the speculated time true?
well i dont care actually
just another reject letter
š
bruh what major
gl
Damn I applied info systems too
i will spent my rest life regretting
i thought info sys is an easy in
nah info sys is hard asf at cmu
and I proved myself wrong
guys
everything is speculated
feel free to contact them yourselves and ask
but overall

Live chat isnāt working
Can someone ask
Also I think the Instagram things donāt matter bc last year they announced when ed1 was about to come out but this year they didnāt
So it might not matter that they didnāt announce anything on insta this year
guys I'm so scared about CMU
š
I got deferred from CMU SCS ED
it's my dream school
Same
Applying SCS is lowk a suicide mission unless you got like 4x usaco plat usamo qualifier or like IOI placement
And 800 math and like a 4.0
scs is so ugly but so prestigious
i toured and my best part about it was leaving the scs
tepper is pretty i applied there
im ngl i never understood what people meant when they say multiple time plat⦠cuz once u qualify u qualify lmao
and itās like connected to the visitor center so itās most vibrant
is a 790 math enough for tepper
i hope it is
pls let me simp tepper tmrw
pray for u š
Bro who would go to cmu for acting š
apparently cmu is pretty good in the fine arts department
who knew???
thank you twin
ā¢ļø
i meant the ece part
Not me apparently
i pray 4 u too
but yeah acting has like a 0.5% acceptance rate
i believe so
not according to this reddit post
they're claiming acting>ece>scs but idk
who even majors in ece anyways
Ece > scs is cap
š¤Ø
drama > scs
are decisions out in 24h?
put some respect on eceš
then idk
perhaps
the tepper sentiment is rushing through my veins
i roy wanna get in
ppl are like oh it has a 20% acceptance rate
then others are like
6%.
Scs is rough
people who have a physics and math fetish
It's not happening
itbwill happen
Nah its for the cs mf that wanna do a bit of cs but not any theory
my essays were really good for cmu
oh fair enough actually
i hope it paid off
i think mine were too but now that i think about it they def werent perfect
idk
we'll see today
i think mine were almost perfect
lets see if they can save my crap gpa
i toured too
so i pointed out super niche stuff that aligned with my interests
oh well
is it confirmed to come out td
any news so far
i think a lot of people who called in were told it would start rolling out today
but also it might start rolling out later today
so around like
4 pm?
5 pm?
est
hopefully ā¤ļø
refer to this !
i feel like theyve been religiously checking with cmu offices so ig theyre the most informed
cmu admissions sux
Withdrawal app is gone

Omg
Yeah š
doubters in shambles right now
I was a doubter
Iām shittinf my pants this is so scary
Ppl been saying 4 or 5 pm est

HELLOOOO
but yeah cmu time could be any time today if it omes out today really
wait did someone from the admissions office confirm?

idk regardless of time it's gona be a jumpscare nonetheless š
Like 5

the gates building is beautiful tho??
no
cant wait to be rejected ššššš
itās lowk acting>cs>ece
nah it came out at 2pm pst for me
Hey guys, just received a reply by email 5 mins ago that my additional information has been added to my application file, has my decision not been made yet?!
4pm cst 5pm est pmggg
idk why i applied for cmu econ ngl
theyāre like really good
everyone from cmu acting ends up going broadway
or like tv
me
me too and idk either
people who like hardware more than coding ig
na
the AO told me 800 is the cutoff for tepper
it used to be that way when it was admit by major for college of engineering, but then that changed, but i heard theyāre going back to the admit by major model..
oh damn wtf
yeah so like what 5pm est
i did too lmao
Carti is cheeks
Carti was hella good
Did anyone here do the cmu summer programs
Check college confidential
I asked live chat if it was today and it said āhello. Decisions will be released mid-march. We do not have an exact date at this timeā
whats colleg confidiential
And I asked will it not be today and it said āwe do not have a date at this timeā
i think a lot of people contacted admissions over the last week and every time they said they would start rolling today
so im not sure
Ehh whatever weāll see
is it actually today?
cmu eceš±
i want to be like you when i grow upš š
