Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) (2025-2026)

[cedar turret]

i’d go for ee

you’ll get some of the same meche classes still

and there is always grad school

and you can always take extra meche classes

[radiant creek]

I’m worried though that I don’t have any EE experience, everything is mechanical e

[cedar turret]

your degree will just say ece

[radiant creek]

In terms of getting in

[winter perch]

id look specifically at the concentrations you want to take in both eng schools too

[radiant creek]

Or rather having any chance of getting in

[winter perch]

i mean i thought this too and wanted to be safe and apply for like meche/ece

and i got in

[cedar turret]

look at

https://www.ece.cmu.edu/academics/bs-in-ece/academic-guide.html

http://coursecatalog.web.cmu.edu/schools-colleges/collegeofengineering/departmentofmechanicalengineering/#curriculumtextcontainer

see what’s more interesting

[radiant creek]

Oh nice

[cedar turret]

@winter perch how was core for you

how’d you do on the shapes test

[winter perch]

idk but i definitely did not enjoy it

ah yes the circle thinks the square is inside the room

beautiful

[misty smelt]

oh my

thank you

😭😭🩷🩷

[tranquil jasper]

if/when decisions come out someone ping me

and if i dont respond fast ping another active mod and tell them decisions are out

[hard jay]

be even safer and apply dietrich

[robust creek]

I ed’d Statml

😭

[vague yoke]

ur on here too? 😭

[vague yoke]

thank you, we'll be on the lookout

[vague yoke]

this was the @halcyon marten calculus

[halcyon marten]

Omg

Those decisions in my nickname are so outdated lmao

[vague yoke]

2 for 2 in “ask meout”s

[astral thicket]

cs major

[halcyon marten]

Why can’t I use non server emojis

[halcyon marten]

Also yeah I didn’t wanna risk it and I didn’t have super strong feelings on being SCS lmao

[vague yoke]

Limitation of a2c unless you nitro

[halcyon marten]

I have nitro

[vague yoke]

And server boost sorry

[halcyon marten]

Aw

[vague yoke]

A2c nickel and diming us

[halcyon marten]

Real

[winter perch]

should be fixed dec 15 as it says here https://www.cmu.edu/admission/admission/application-plans-deadlines#:~:text=Early Decision Deadline%3A November 3 Notified by%3A December 15

i think it is because last year it was only different because dec 15 was a sunday so they released it on friday

this time its a monday so prolly fine

[unique jasper]

Guys, how much of an impact does sending some great activity updates or some international Olympiads (not ipho/imo level) make during the time we wait for RD decisions?

[cedar turret]

they can consider it but they also might just say “yeah we will consider it” then never do

it’s worth sending in

but just know it’s still a gamble on if they will accept more information then you gave them

[earnest jacinth]

lowk information systems?

underrated major imo

[hard jay]

lmao right right not biased opinion right there

yo but fr yeah

[earnest jacinth]

its lowk facts

[gritty patrol]

i uh don't think thats a safe major

This is like saying tepper is easier than SCS but going into Comp finance

[earnest jacinth]

is information systems hard to get into? ive heard that its easier from some ppl and hella hard from other ppl

[gritty patrol]

whats the class size these days. it used to be very competitive (like worse than ECE)

[earnest jacinth]

its like 60s

but i feel like not a lot of ppl apply to is because its much less well known

if ppl wanna go cs route they usually apply for scs or statml i feel like

[gritty patrol]

oh not much more then. Yea its still mega competitive then

They used to publish acceptance rate for ECE and such in For class of 202-21. I think i found the links (they were posted here by me in like 2021 but theyre nuked now)

[earnest jacinth]

yeah i did hear it was hella competitive in the past before they quadrupled the class size

so idk how competitive it is now

[robust creek]

I mean you can’t go wrong with anything stem at CMU

[earnest jacinth]

true especially tech

[gritty patrol]

It’s still probably true that it’s easier to transfer IS-> SCS than SCS -> IS

[earnest jacinth]

holy asians

[earnest jacinth]

it is

oh wait i misread that

wait fr?

idk my adviser said that usually we end up with around 100+ kids graduating as is majors

after having 60+ kids initially admitted

[gritty patrol]

There’s a reason that professors have joked about more people being able to speak Chinese than English

[hot seal]

💀

[thick quiver]

omg i should have been here earlier

so much happening

[cedar turret]

tartandatasource

cmu students and staff only

if you want some data pulled let me know

you’ll be fine!!!!!

don’t stress over number

you don’t know actual application amounts for that program

[burnt epoch]

how many ppl do hci?

[cedar turret]

this year 2025?

[burnt epoch]

yuh

[cedar turret]

ok let me stop bed rotting and check

one seccccc

yes

hci and ece coming up

ece

hci

@burnt epoch @wet jackal

[burnt epoch]

19????

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

IM FRIED

[cedar turret]

i was pretty surprised too

ngl

i've never met one either

so

[burnt epoch]

bro 🥀 🥀 🥀

This is genuinely so cooked…..

[robust creek]

What about statml

[burnt epoch]

wait is this total or just for the class of 25?

[robust creek]

I know there isn’t a capacity for 1st year students but just curious

[cedar turret]

2025

[burnt epoch]

ah icic tyty

[thick quiver]

wait would that be SCS or

[cedar turret]

no scs is different

[robust creek]

Wait that’s crazy

Thanks tho

Is that total on campus for just for a class

[cedar turret]

statml for 2025 admits i think?

[robust creek]

Oh wow that’s a lot

[cedar turret]

yeah its under the tab "Entering Undergraduate Cohort Overview" so im guessing by that its 2025 admits

[burnt epoch]

19/999 lowk diabolical

[misty smelt]

wait can you do cfa rq

[burnt epoch]

guys

does CMU look at quarter grades for ED…..

my school runs on semesters so my quarter grades weren’t perfect 😢😢😢

lawd

do u do it manually or does school do it

wait how did u submit

how do u know if they request

lawd

my school year runs rlly late

we end sem 1 end of Jan

yeah

and I may or may not have not opened canvas once in the two weeks before the end of q1

cuz I was getting all my supps finalized….

[dusky terrace]

oof

[burnt epoch]

I made everything up tho so I’m like chilling

😢😢

[dusky terrace]

then why r u like

worried

[burnt epoch]

cuz my quarter grades

on that report

😭😭😭😭

r genuinely diabolical

so if they see that

I’m just gonna start like crying

[robust creek]

Wait they never asked me for my quarter grades wtf

[burnt epoch]

me either

apparently one of my friends who also eded submitted

[dusky terrace]

It’s ok 😌
Jus hope for the best

[fringe badge]

what is the enrollment looking like for dietrich

[cosmic crystal]

Does it show total number of people applied for ECE as well?

So we can see admission rates for specific majors

[cedar turret]

i can’t access that :(

i wish

faculty only

[hard jay]

that's full enrollment

like everyone currently enrolled and declared

we don't have info on like first year statml bc everyone in Dietrich minus IS is undeclared by default

[vague yoke]

Really taking the job of 2030 admin seriously I seee

[robust creek]

I know that

[hard jay]

girl not this imma leave

[robust creek]

I thought people declare second sem

[vague yoke]

:3

[hard jay]

second year

[vague yoke]

Get to know the current ed people

They’re coming. Our way soon

I just met several of them

[robust creek]

Oh ok

[hard jay]

why u make it sound ominous TwT

[vague yoke]

I love being melodramatic

[hard jay]

272/1112 for statml

[vague yoke]

what

[robust creek]

Thanks for letting me know - I did a visit and they said that each graduating class is like 70 people so I was confused for a sec

Wait what

[hard jay]

actually lies

272/729

erm that seems low

[robust creek]

Oh ok

[hard jay]

that's what the data says tho

[robust creek]

Couldn’t 700 be the entire stats dept

[hard jay]

possibly tbh

im doing declared statml and then everyone in DC minus undeclared

[robust creek]

Half being Statml

[hard jay]

honestly this makes sense there's a lot of econ in dietrich

and like people just doing normal stats

[robust creek]

Yeah

[robust creek]

Ah this makes way more sense haha

[hard jay]

yeah no the rest of dietrich is more spread out

like 44 for econ, 49 for stats etc

[whole plank]

Do you have meche 🥺

[hard jay]

lmao does a2c not allow pictures to random people

[hard jay]

it's 118 for 2025 entering class

[whole plank]

Tysm!

[hard jay]

333 for 2025 entering class

[fringe badge]

Oh W

[robust creek]

To think half of them enter Statml is crazy

[hard jay]

LMAO

wait not really

[robust creek]

Maybe 1/3 rd

[hard jay]

yeah like 1/3

which is also a bit outrageous considering they don't anticipate that

[robust creek]

I think they do

[hard jay]

well yeah but I mean they don't accept 1/3 dc admissions for statml

[robust creek]

It’s a stem school, and it’s a joint program with scs

[robust creek]

Fs

That’s true

[hard jay]

it's not a joint program...

[robust creek]

Statml is I thought

[toxic violet]

omg carnegie chat is so active

[hard jay]

the website lowkey lying

[hard jay]

yayyy

[robust creek]

Not in the way IS is with Heinz

Of course

[toxic violet]

r the ppl talking here all students or applicants rn

[hard jay]

ig i mean like ur not in scs ur fully just taking a dc major that has a lot of classes in scs

[fringe badge]

Bro are you really 80 years old

🗿

[hard jay]

idk lol

[robust creek]

That’s fair

[hard jay]

yeah I think the website makes it sound like ur part of both but ur just part of dc

[robust creek]

Maybe in the future they make it direct apply like IS

[fringe badge]

Wait prefrosh

60 gap years

[robust creek]

I kinda knew that when I applied haha

But Dietrich sounds sick tbh

[hard jay]

gooodd my friend did not

[hard jay]

yeah it is!

[robust creek]

Ooh

[hard jay]

we have like the most flexibility of the colleges

[toxic violet]

omg gl

[robust creek]

What is your major?

[hard jay]

like I can get an hci minor purely through my dietrich like general education (grad requirements)

[toxic violet]

what r u applying for

[hard jay]

statml

[robust creek]

Lmfaoooo

How are you liking it?

[toxic violet]

omg i'm IS ❤️

[hard jay]

it's funnn

[toxic violet]

gllll

[robust creek]

Wait are you a freshman?

[hard jay]

yes

[robust creek]

So I’m assuming it’s gen Ed’s for you rn

[hard jay]

yeah we gotta do 5 first year

[robust creek]

Damnnn

[hard jay]

but a lot of it feeds into ur major

like one of the geneds is just a stat class

which is just a mjor requirement for me

[robust creek]

Is the curriculum difficult so far

[toxic violet]

i mean it's rlly flexible since u basically have like 14 required classes iirc for ur entire major and everything else u can basically have as electives.

[hard jay]

not bad for dc

[toxic violet]

i'm doing a double major with creative writing lol

[whole plank]

Originally I was gonna do brown but cmu had more stuff im interested in

[robust creek]

Are you planning an additional major? I know Statml core + electives is only like 200/360

[toxic violet]

omg because ur in dietrich, it's literally such a good school if ur at all interested in the humanities

[hard jay]

yes i will

[toxic violet]

or u want to apply for dietrich

[hard jay]

in like scs

[robust creek]

Oh ok that’s cool

Did you ed?

[marsh ore]

have yall heard of cmu puzzlehunt

[hard jay]

this guy

I knew it

[marsh ore]

sob

[hard jay]

when I saw u typing

[marsh ore]

its happening tomorrow !!!

[hard jay]

you mean puzzle hunt

?

[marsh ore]

yeah

[hard jay]

it's like finals week

what yall doing

[robust creek]

I think decisions could be tomorrow

[marsh ore]

ik we had to delay because i was the only person to join staff this year

[toxic violet]

also it's cause they hire the most overqualified professors for evrything and because like all the stem kids have some kind of magical aversion to the humanities u literally have amazing professors teaching to a desert of students lol

[whole plank]

I heard they’ve been on Friday for the past two years so yeah prob

[marsh ore]

also its after finals for most people

[robust creek]

Yeah gl man I hope you get in

[hard jay]

yeah probably gll yall

[toxic violet]

most?!

i thought finals ran until sunday or smth

[marsh ore]

yeah but a lot of people are done with finals already

[hard jay]

like me

[robust creek]

Did you ED?

[hard jay]

no I RD here

[fringe badge]

holy shit no way desicions tomorrow

Tjay would be so good

[toxic violet]

i have one more final tomorrow 😭

[fringe badge]

I don’t have to wait the weekend

[hard jay]

My ED rejected my ass

[marsh ore]

same 241

[hard jay]

but then I came here

[robust creek]

Ah ok cracked applicant fr

[toxic violet]

omg my ed rejected me too

[hard jay]

wait highkey for the better

[winter perch]

nah hci is a more recently established major

[hard jay]

cmu is so much better than my ED

[marsh ore]

i was also RD

[toxic violet]

what was ur ed

[hard jay]

wait I kinda wanna switch my additional to HCI highkey

[winter perch]

size of scs class this year is 218

[hard jay]

WashU

[marsh ore]

[toxic violet]

ew saint louis

cmu >>>

[hard jay]

[fringe badge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1406923886167326861/1446372867049521204/togif.gif

[hard jay]

imma take the Design class for the minor and if I like it I'll probably switch

[robust creek]

My friend who was thinking about EDing told me it was just a bunch of snobby rich kids, not sure if that’s true

[winter perch]

cmu?

[robust creek]

For Washington

[toxic violet]

???????

[hard jay]

for washu yes

[robust creek]

Wash U

[toxic violet]

ohhh

kinda

idk i didn't apply to wash u

[hard jay]

their tuition is ridiculous and it isn't need blind

[toxic violet]

i just saw an image of the campus and scoffed at the generational wealth

[robust creek]

😂

[hard jay]

they lowkey suck at everything but premed tho so I'm glad im not there

[toxic violet]

i chose cmu cause IS was literally the most flexible 2nd major to pair with my creative writing degree lol

cuz asian parents said "u need a backup"

[hard jay]

so trueee

[marsh ore]

i chose cmu because puzzlehunts

[hard jay]

yeah wait Dietrich ultimate asian parent pleaser

[winter perch]

so based

[toxic violet]

yesss

[winter perch]

shill ur puzzle hunt rn

[toxic violet]

my other schools would've just been my parents calling me everyday to fill out my transfer applications to another department 😭

[marsh ore]

i did already lmao

[hard jay]

have statml and my dad doesn't question why I have intro to linguistics and russian literature on my spring schedule bc I say it's gen ed ha ha ha...

[toxic violet]

19th or 20th century

[hard jay]

19th

[toxic violet]

NOOO

[hard jay]

19th > 20th

all the way

[toxic violet]

i'm doing 20thh

[hard jay]

nooooo

[winter perch]

bro is actually becoming a russian hacker as an asian

[toxic violet]

oh yeah i would strongly recommend u take the chinese history courses

[hard jay]

wait that was my backup but like Doestoevsky is my favorite author so I can't pass the chance

[hard jay]

hmmm okayy

[astral thicket]

lwk true tho its really stem heavy

correction: it's really math and cs heavy

[hard jay]

but ur in scs hell tho soooo it's different

[halcyon marten]

Meow

[astral thicket]

i know a lot of not cs/math that are doing a lot of cs courses

[winter perch]

SO PEAK

INCREDIBLE

[hard jay]

why are we all here

[winter perch]

i called reinforcements

[hard jay]

the current student applicatn ratio is not balanced

[halcyon marten]

I am actively decreasing CMU prestige by meowing in chat

[toxic violet]

70% of all math majors i've met so far have told me they want to transfer to scs

[marsh ore]

:3

[hard jay]

[fringe badge]

increasing

[halcyon marten]

Damn

[fringe badge]

😼

[hard jay]

get this guy in here

we gotta make some calls

[toxic violet]

how does it feel getting so close to the decision date

[fringe badge]

ONG 🗿 🙏

[vague yoke]

No just to me

[marsh ore]

if you do cmu puzzlehunt as a cmu student you're pretty much guaranteed to get a prize (sponsored by jane street lmao)

[fringe badge]

Every progressive second makes me stress tf out but hopefully all ts hard work pays off

[vague yoke]

Time to worry about whether a certain person will prioritize that over me

[toxic violet]

u got this

[toxic violet]

but the letter is probably preloaded by now

so gl

[vague yoke]

Are you all together irl is this why you flooded this channel

[halcyon marten]

Nah it’s me Ryan bright Eddie

[marsh ore]

yeah basically

[fringe badge]

getting blessed by cmu students is peak, thank you

[vague yoke]

Talk more in meowers my goat

We miss you

[vague yoke]

I’ll come

[astral thicket]

i should

[halcyon marten]

Hell yeah

[vague yoke]

Kaitlyn is in their revival era

[astral thicket]

finals not it tho

[vague yoke]

Time for you too

[vague yoke]

True

[astral thicket]

plus im gonna be completely mia during break

[marsh ore]

why do you have prefrosh role

[astral thicket]

need to go outside

[astral thicket]

idk

[marsh ore]

are you smurfing

[vague yoke]

Oh it was you

[vague yoke]

Bro

[astral thicket]

i cant wait to read my backlog

[hard jay]

we will do a ritual and sacrifice for y'all fr

[toxic violet]

i think if u donate a kidney to farnam like sealed and mail in, he would probably let the admissions officers know abt ur generous gift

also why r there so many students here rn is there like an irl horde or gathering lol

i just logged on to procrastinate for finals 😭

[winter perch]

so based

Which one

[vague yoke]

There may or may not be a fairly omnipresent friend group

Just blame me

[winter perch]

I’m doing this for 21242

[vague yoke]

It’s not their fault

[vague yoke]

Isn’t everyone

[winter perch]

Some ppl in 242 are smart

I am not 😭

[toxic violet]

21-242 to me is just numbers ❤️

[winter perch]

Honors linear algebra aka matrix theory

[toxic violet]

ohhhh linear alg

doesn't that class have like 11 units or smth why 11 units

[winter perch]

Because it’s vastly underreported

[astral thicket]

doesnt 241 also have 11

[winter perch]

All the geniuses go report like 2 min per week on the 242 fce

[marsh ore]

its units not fce

[vague yoke]

Just you wait… just you wait…

[toxic violet]

? 🐰

[vague yoke]

False false

[vague yoke]

Hamilton reference

[marsh ore]

when he was ten his farther split

[toxic violet]

[vague yoke]

Bed ridden…

[marsh ore]

[stone shore]

who knows they pull weird shit like this every year

[fringe badge]

[vernal flare]

[fringe badge]

i cant wait the weekend

[stone shore]

lmao maybe

there's a chance

[fringe badge]

[stone shore]

lmao last year the deferred people got their decisions 24 hours after the rd guys

[fringe badge]

when did it release 2 years ago

🤔

lowkey whats stopping them from dropping it tomorrow if they got it all finalized

🗿

-# 😭 🙏

[vernal flare]

I mean if you were the college wouldn't it be more entertaining to keep people on the edge of their seats for longer

[stone shore]

dyk how I know?

I was one of them

[fringe badge]

they did that for 1.5 months i cant take it anymore

[stone shore]

yeah I'm going here

[vernal flare]

we should make a bar chart of the days of the week decisions were released on and do a statistical test to predict the most likely date of release or smth idk

jk

[stone shore]

bumass finals week

cs

[fringe badge]

my application is mid at best but i just need this hail mary

[shadow bridge]

someone should do a AI research project for this and enter into competitions. They'll get all the parent judges on their side

[stone shore]

for my year?

it came in like

at least 2 waves

6pm est was the first acceptance wave

and the 7pm was like a second wave of mostly deferrals?

[fringe badge]

6/7 PM

perfect

[stone shore]

ok bro

[dull meteor]

which day?

it's by 15th but we don't know when right

[stone shore]

yeah I believe mine was a friday?

[dull meteor]

ohh

okay okay bet'

is that consistent across the years

[stone shore]

idk

[dull meteor]

it is

i just checked

[cedar turret]

most likely tmrw 4:30-5

[winter perch]

likely this was because last year the 15th fell on a weekend (sunday)

so very likely this will actually drop on the 15th

[cedar turret]

cmu admissions is so fucking secretive for no reason

[gritty patrol]

They used to be less

[cedar turret]

my prof for interp wanted me to reach out to them for my contribution research and they just ignored my interview request

still pissed at them for that

[gritty patrol]

Guessing they got burned sometime in 2017-2020

[cedar turret]

@gritty patrol did you have to do CORE or interp?

[dull meteor]

https://www.applyingto.college/decision-calendar/class-of-2029

just look here

it has all the dates for past years

[stone shore]

CORE @ cmu

[winter perch]

the prediction is that very likely it is actually the 15th

[stone shore]

done't you love core

[winter perch]

oh god

[whole plank]

😢

[dull meteor]

do you get an email for the decision?

[cedar turret]

the square test 😠

[stone shore]

shhhh

[winter perch]

Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) ED December 13, 2024 4:00 PM Until December 15th

[stone shore]

i can't wait for the prospies to crash out about this next year

[winter perch]

very likely this is wrong

[dull meteor]

are you sure because i looked at the past days and it's been a friday the last few times

[stone shore]

cmu randomly does shit like this

they told me on their soul that decisions weren't coming out on 3/14

(they did)

[winter perch]

isnt it because the 15th fell on a friday, and then a saturday so they picked the last weekday (fri) and then a sunday so they picked the last weekday (fri)?

[cedar turret]

in my program, freshman and sophomores talk a lotttttt, sophomores are responsible for showing the freshman around the building and pittsburgh and organizing bonding events

[fringe badge]

there was one year when they droopped it on saturday

hmm

[cedar turret]

so next year i get to see interp and core crash outs

and i’m so hype

[stone shore]

tf is interp

[winter perch]

i see no reason for them to release it ahead of time, and if they do there is no reason why they would go ahead of time on a weekend

[dull meteor]

huh?

it was

[cedar turret]

interpretation and argument

[dull meteor]

13th

[cedar turret]

freshman english

[dull meteor]

last year

15th the year before

[stone shore]

fyw?

[dull meteor]

and both of those days were friday

[cedar turret]

yeah

[stone shore]

wait people call it interp 💀

[winter perch]

yeah

[cedar turret]

yeah

[dull meteor]

unless it's too early

most likely it's this friday

[stone shore]

invalid opinion

moving on

[dull meteor]

but also they would probably make it next friday

[cedar turret]

no you’re just wrong

[winter perch]

my prediction is it releases on the 15th if its a weekday, and if not its the last weekday before the 15th

[dull meteor]

i feel like

[stone shore]

@winter perch is it interp or fyw

[dull meteor]

ohh you could be right

tbh

[winter perch]

i say fyw

[stone shore]

SEE

[cedar turret]

all 28/28 in my program call it interp

PLEASEEE friday bro

[dull meteor]

because i think they moved it simply because the day was getting too early

[whole plank]

i cannot wait any longre

[dull meteor]

but they wanted to try to keep consistency

with the same day of the week

it doesn't seem dependent on it being a weekday

[stone shore]

[cedar turret]

vroo]

[thick quiver]

[fringe badge]

what is ioi

[robust creek]

Thank god I’m not doing cs

[stone shore]

lowk whether you like it or not

if you come to cmu you'll probably interact with cs

[fringe badge]

hopefully dietrich is generous tomorrow

[stone shore]

more than you think

[robust creek]

Yeah but like all my classes won’t be cs

Filled with Olympiad winners n shi

[stone shore]

no one in their right fucking mind would make all their classes cs

[robust creek]

Cs core

[stone shore]

dude that's taken over like

2 years

[thick quiver]

i mean

it may come out monday

so

[robust creek]

I mean I’m not shying away from coding cs jus way to competitive

[stone shore]

like I'm taking 2 cs classes and 1 math and that's still considered a lot

[thick quiver]

bro ive been crashing out

[thick quiver]

i barely do usaco tho so hopefully that doesn't hurt my app

😭

[stone shore]

well yeah

lowk wouldn't be surprising if aos just ignored all usaco stuff

unless ur IOI

[thick quiver]

i mean

plat is hella good

[robust creek]

How could they?

[thick quiver]

hella poeple have usaco

[stone shore]

usaco is like probably one of the most cheated olys

[robust creek]

They literally ask for competition results

[thick quiver]

lowk not doing it is more of a differentation

[robust creek]

As a separate question on the app

[thick quiver]

thats for AIME i thing

[robust creek]

Oh shit is that different

[stone shore]

I mean

plenty of my friends haven't even heard of usaco

[thick quiver]

ive heard of it -- just not my thing

[robust creek]

My bad sorry

[thick quiver]

thats like a math comp

[robust creek]

I haven’t even gotten in and I feel the imposter syndrome

[thick quiver]

[stone shore]

ropes

[winter perch]

242 is a nightmare for me rn preparing for tests wise but i have never had such an interesting lin alg class

[stone shore]

the most enjoyable thing

[winter perch]

that was fine

[stone shore]

"suppose we have a town..."

[winter perch]

at least it wasnt on the midterm

it was a fascinating example tho

mine wasnt for a very long time

[shadow bridge]

i didnt apply for aid

[burnt epoch]

i uh

[stone shore]

[winter perch]

i didnt either

[stone shore]

no portal astrology

[burnt epoch]

i never submitted and financial aid stuff

[shadow bridge]

why not

[stone shore]

bc it's bad

[shadow bridge]

[stone shore]

gives false hope and whatnot

and it spreads hysteria

[shadow bridge]

ehhh

[stone shore]

also banned by this server

[shadow bridge]

oh

well thats a better reason

i did get my george mason decision letter already lol

[stone shore]

[burnt epoch]

[winter perch]

any other questions before i go back to grinding finals 😭

[stone shore]

so locked in

[winter perch]

idk how 242ers are not locked in rn

[stone shore]

bro

idk

man it feels like

fuck sunday finals

[winter perch]

true

i mean prof pegden feels the same

wait

did clive do this to us

[shadow bridge]

one of my friends at trinity has a 9pm final

its 3 hours too

on a friday night

[winter perch]

said final we are talking about is starting 8:30AM for 3 hours

[stone shore]

like

atp I'm just gassed from studying

[winter perch]

bro same

[shadow bridge]

thats terrible

actually wait its not thattt bad

like realistiaclly u wake up at 7:30

not the worst

[winter perch]

we had one such final earlier today

[cedar turret]

is 122 website or drama pi website worse

[stone shore]

lowk

3 hours does not seem that bad

might just be the stockholm syndrome talking though

[stone shore]

are you fucking kidding me 122 website is much worse

[fringe badge]

💀

thats horrible

[stone shore]

nnah lowk I miss it

[fringe badge]

i can see the nostalgic aspect of it

[winter perch]

Sir it’s been 3 days

[cedar turret]

is 122 actually strict about round ups

i heard from one of my CS friends they aren't rounding a 89.4 up to a A

[winter perch]

They specifically say they’d round up if u have good precepts and check in attendance

AKA if you tried, we round you up

[ornate brook]

When the apps out?

[fringe badge]

Speculations suggest in around 16 hours

Another speculation is Monday the 15th

but I’m banking on today lowkey

We’ll see

[dull meteor]

either friday

or saturday

tbh

monday doesn't make sense

[fringe badge]

oh yea Saturday is another option

[ornate brook]

I heard they run from Friday to Monday

so i wanted to know if it was right?

[fringe badge]

Yea

[jolly spear]

why does CMU insist on torturing y'all ED applicants by not confirming the release date

[ornate brook]

coz the greats have only a few flaws

[vernal flare]

because it's probably entertaining to watch as an ao

[toxic violet]

oh yeah last minute tips for all u nervous ED applicants, if ur family's net worth is >1 bil USD, just ask ur dad to donate a new department for Dietrich college. there isn't an anthropology department and i think just 5 million dollars would be enough to make it happen, and also you'll probably get a second, way more empathetic glance at ur essays.

[misty smelt]

“I donated”

three green flags

[toxic violet]

i hope these green flags r made of pure solid emerald and jade

[ornate brook]

there actually is a kid who bought US citizenship and a library for Brown

his grades are the lowest in the whole school but that kid might (decision has not come, so dont know but yeah he will get in) be going to one of the best unis in the worlds

[novel rose]

Ya don’t buy citizenship

you can only buy an investment visa with expedited green card access

Still gotta wait the 5 years after that

[dull meteor]

maybe he used the new trump gold card

[misty smelt]

A LIBRARY??

[thick quiver]

how does everyone have some sort of national/intenrational award -- like there can only be so many comps 😭

[vague yoke]

Lmao

[vague yoke]

Not everyone does, I didn’t

I graduated hs from Florida not cracked and I’m doing alright

[hard jay]

waaaiittt if you come to cmu join GCS (Game Creation Society) there's a game team working on a vr game or you can get a bunch of people to help u make a vr game too

like u can kidnap people like me to 3d model all ur vr shit lol

[vernal flare]

how do clubs work at cmu? do they have club fairs where you can join or something like that?

[hard jay]

yes! there's a club fair in the fall and one in the winter

We also have a campus groups site which is big directory of all clubs u can browse through that

You can alternatively when you get ur cmu email link to discord and look through the club discords

[vernal flare]

oh interesting that's pretty cool

[hard jay]

wait and then different clubs have different levels of commitment

[vague yoke]

Scottylabs

[hard jay]

but u can ask ones ur interested in how they work

[hard jay]

girl u just don't go TwT

we do work

[vague yoke]

Lmao

[vernal flare]

ok ty!

[hard jay]

wait that's crazy I got perms now idk what that means but okay

[burnt epoch]

yess I plan to I really wanna also minor in game design

[burnt epoch]

[thick quiver]
