when will decisions come out
for a deffered application, do you need to send in midyear grades?
thursday
How do we know?
thatās what iāve been told as a student worker
I see
whaaaaaaat
dang, alr ty for letting us know
yo does anyone know the co29 engineering acceptacne rate
this is pretty accurate https://www.joinleland.com/library/a/carnegie-mellon-acceptance-rate-overview
eh they donāt release exact acceptance rates to anyone
i only know SODs
i donāt think COE folks are told
@vague yoke i summon thee ece
!!!!
Hai
Oh gosh some slideshow may have shown it
.
They did for SCS at info session
Like gave us the numbers so you can calculate
Not public though
wdym they drop thursday not tmrw
i thought it was dropping this evening
BROOOO CMU PLS
genuinely man with the unis I got into atp cc is better
need this bad
this thursday?
any1 know who runs this acc https://www.instagram.com/cmu2030class_/
those posts are all fake
oh š
well ok
I know the exact accepntance rate for SCS
and that figure is off
yeah scs is the only one i know of telling ppl
]\
ik it's on the a2c calendar but is there a reason its' thursday as opposed to friday like years prior?
idk maybe you know so just pinging you ^
No idea could be Friday too
@tranquil jasper sorry for ping but for speculated dates are they just user-added or is it admin?
Wdym
like
can anyone just add a "speculated" date to the sheet
or is it something that only admin do with like some amnt of reasoning
We let people email but they are not automatically added
Which is why itās speculated
Iāve seen people on reddit take the speculated as surefire which for most of them I do not recommend
ah
i generally took speculated to be the past trend
Like we have a blurb that says we donāt have proof for speculated and they are just guesses
Yes I do try to have some logical backing when speculating even if that doesnāt mean official announcements from a school but many schools this year have broke trend
okok thanks for the explanation
I also use crowdsourcing for a good amount of official stuff too bc I donāt personally receive emails that go out to applicants and counselors
I check official college admissions Instagram accounts but not all post there
And some donāt announce ahead of time they just drop with no announcement
So I also take emails and server pings for those
But they need proof attached
it was a joke š everything iāve heard is thursday
lol
wdym youāre not the all omniscient all seeing counselor ?!
when dose cmu come out again
Scroll up but itās suspected like Thursday
is thos ifficial
buddy what do you think suspected means
congrats

calm down



stay in ur limits
When has CMU released in the past? Any trend pointing it towards a date this year?
Is it confirmed Thursday ??
it is not confirmed by cmu nor do they typically announce it prior to release
will it be in waves or all at the same time
I heard that it was in waves last yr
but idk they could change it this yr
what time will cmu come out
i sent one yesterday and they accepted it
plssss cmu i need this š š
my fam is so poor i need its w financial aid
Last year it was 3/14
i wonder if they moved it up a day bc friday is friday the 13th š
bc a student here from the admissions office has been saying thursday the 12th
wait? it's coming out already?
i dont think - 12th is the date that's been floating around
dont quote me but ive heard it's done in waves throughout the day
but i could be completely wrong
i havent studied cmu admission trends
i want to major in college admissions now
there actually is often a science/pattern behind release dates
@robust creek
do ur phd on it
ive given up
it wont change much tbh
they've made their deicsion weeks ago
o
do you thikn i should still send?
id lowk just send my michigan loci
but without the one line saying i ā¤ļø michigan
arenāt decisions predicted to come out in 2 days
do they still read it?
proabbly not but they are taking it?
they said on LiveChat they only want grades for defer applicants
idk
wait till if youāre waitlisted or not
they do not need more documents
and iām sure decisions are finalized
alright thank you ā¤ļø
indeed
the great harass the new freshman into coming here time
š
is there any reason we think its coming out on thursday when its been friday the past two years?
idk itās what they told me
who
admissions, im a student worker
oh shoot
so
again it could be VERY wrong
itās a speculation
but at least thereās kinda an aim for date
it could also be that they wanna do decision release during weekday instead of going into the weekend idk (for it not being on a friday)
itās cmu
theyāre weird
for no reason
imagine ryan is pulling all our legs
i promise i am not trying to š
iām just sharing the information i got
if it doesnāt come out the 12th iām gonna be very pissed as well
im joking
i do not have that number but i would say probably 67%
itās typically around 4% or lower
wait fr?
60% WAITLIST oods?
oh so never happening, i see
i mean the yield must be through the roof, it is CMU after all
no itās a joke
they do waitlist a ton of ppl tho
and i hate it
waitlists are evil
ive been waitlisted twice alr
so yes they are evil
ill crash out if i get waitlisted tmr
yeah thatās the avg i calculated over the past 10 years
if i am remembering correctly
from when i did it last year
iām gonna do it again tmrw
yes
every person i see is asian tho
iām not!
does ED give a boost or nah? and what do u think bout deferred ppl
nope
ed honestly doesnāt do shit for ppl
itās the same acceptance rate
for both
itās not like some of those schools where itās like 50% accept off ed and 4% rd
cough northeastern
it kinda just appears in your portal
useless question but i wanted to mknow
like any other slate admission portal
i see
i can show you mine from last year
like essays test scores etc
they couldnt care less bout test scores š
the interesting part is most admissions decisions are made with partnership with the dept youāre applying for
so if my gpa is chopped, its over
they say it on their website
i see, so they read ur essays
and not the readers?
it depends
like i applied for SOD
the entire process was handled by them except for me passing the stupid screening
what if i applied for say information systems or ece
oh
if u dont pass the screening, they never even read ur essays and test scores and shi?
iām not sure how involved ece is but i do know they review your application to a certain degree
by what school? cmu isnāt tmrw
is it?
it is
OH SHIT
for my time its tmr
from how itās been explained to me by sod leaders:
1 - we need to pass prescreens by sod
2 - we need to pass the basic admissions process done by the aos
3 - we need to pass our interview
4 - we need to be selected by the professors
RLLY
for yall its day after
bruh im lowk regretting not applying scs
that MUCH?
itās an incredibly competitive program
as of rn theres no way i commit to cmu info sys
what is the prescreen consisting of, if u know? @cedar turret
for my major in sod itās like a 6% acceptance rate last year
for the actors itās literally 0.005%
u can easily double major into scs
if i have ut austin csb (mccombs + cs honors) theres no point in risking the scs double major not working out right
I mean u need a double major to graduate if u dont do a concentration
how routine is it to double major into scs from info sys
i know a lot and iām not even scs
itās one of those kinda standard things
they have quite a lot of overlap (please correct me if iām wrong scs students)
hmmm ill have to do my due diligence about the double major if i get into cmu then
you still got a few days, itās the 12th EST
thanks for the info
yeah its currently 11th for me
im intl btw
damn i never knew how small it was
idk how bad it is for us
you got 2 days, it will be the 13th for you
Co29 incoming was like 65 students š
holy shit
the 5 people that got the scs double major probably had to apply into it during their first few semesters at cmu, which is very competitive right?
well hci is in scs
if I attend Iāll try to get a sod minor
ill take a waitlist atp
Iām still thinking abt it
ooo acting or dp side
well what did you apply for
ece
its prolly lower than 6
its literally #1 in ece
I was thinking more playwriting or dramaturgy
it doesnt get any better than cmu
idk though
i heard sb say theyd try to keep admissions for each college around 11% give or take a few
except drama and cs
oh fun, playwriting i donāt think is offered at an undergraduate level, i know we have a masters program for it tho!
dramaturgy is fun, i really like all the folks in it, theyāre awesome people to be around and they love what they do
the faculty for dramaturgy is amazing
my goat tj young
@cedar turret if i attach my resume, research abstract in the additional info, do they read it or take it into account?
depends
they will not open links
FUCK
it doesnāt let them
^
i said
š
yuh but if they dont open it in the essay why woudl they for add info
wait thatās so cool but is it difficult to add as a minor
itās what iāve heard as a student worker
could be wrong and not guaranteed
i mean it depends on how much you enjoy free time
dramaturgy has a lot of work
Iām primarily worried about if I have to pass auditions as stuff
to get into the minor
oh no there are 0 auditions
take foundations of drama 1, easy easy a class
say āhey i wanna minorā
to an advisor who is TERRIBLE to track down and email
and typically itās no problem
NAME CHANGED
ah okay thatās very cool
cmu out tmr?
knowing cmu and how they love to fuck with students mental state, probably!
12th
same as neu damn
2 days, not officially confirmed
i said this in the 30 server
but also saying it here
this is applicable to any university you go to
guys does cmu start releasing arnd 3/13
download yikyak immediately after getting your school email
yikyak?
it will cheer you up when you want to die due to college
what the helly is that
itās an anonymous posting form twitter thingy for colleges
each college has their own form that only students at that college can access
ic
i have no idea why itās like this rn
only glazing cmu
most of the time itās making fun of it
nah CMU has better recognition in my immediate circle than Cornell
I think itās bc of the whole CS thing
nah Iām international so the parents donāt care about theatre I only found out about cmuās theatre while I was preparing to apply
wow, in the states itās quite well known
especially in the industry
its reputation got me a internship with a signing bonus thatās typically jr+
yay for the internship!
How fried do we think I am if I only have 1 foreign language credit when like all the schools require 2 but I have a seal of bilteracy in my heritage language..?
ur not
i have 0 foreign language credits and was accepted ED
and only seal of biliteracy
Ok that's good to hear thank u
I assumed that would maybe be the case bc I got into purdue and it's like the same thing there
But I'm getting nervous now that decisions days r coming up I guess
Congrats by the way this is awesome
What did you apply for?
If u dont mind me asking
ur the goat
was deferred š
aw thanks!
whats the time at which cmu is predicted (12th march, us time?)
I am in-state
high school i probs won't name but like eastside area
ah ok nice i got in sophomore year
but i didnt go
š
is it hella ocmp
comp
i have like a bunch of friends who went to tesla
i feel that
they graduated lmao
aw okay š
Iām a little worried but not really
but hey congrats on IS!
bruh I havenāt gotten in anywhere tho
thanks king im excited
yuh it is
have u heard of stony Brook chat
Thatās the best school Iāve gotten into
thats pretty good man
Almost full ride of merit scholarship
but itās so sad
EA defer
MIT
AND CORNELL like what
not a lot of people get defer
I was so sad.
thats pretty good
CMU CMU CMU I NEED CMU
i need cmu as well
i had 0 foreign lang credits
i have ap chinese but lowk a fraud cuz i know jack shit
probs gonna get a 2 on that
iām shocked people want to come here, itās sad here
gray out for the past 5 months
finally a clear day today
i live in seattle
its like this all year
ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
are you doing drama?
yes and ece
bru same
AURA
i am indeed
uiuc hates me
Peak AURA
alr this is crazy
i only got 3k a year
in state
don't know how CMU would stack up compared to U-DUB or gt but lowk another option would be amazing
i feel like in-state is sometimes harder to get scholarship
This also makes me feel better thank u
Sometimes schools just be pranking you I guess bro
it helps sometimes
but probably not at CMU
LEAKED
yeah i guess
being a drama and ece major means having to send these emails to your ta, who probably think youāre lying
so donāt do what i do
it sucks
little shop of horrors
ooo thatās a fun one
i honestly dont know anything about it, my job is just to play whats on the page
plant eats human to get bigger and take over the world
yeah thats the vibe i got
plant ābribesā human to help
plant go num num on that human at end
itās quite interesting
what position are you
i'm playing lead trumpet
oh youāll have fun
š depends on your defition of fun. I am severly underqualified for this role there was no one else auditioning
oh
well itās a high school show
itās a learning opportunity to make mistakes and learn from them
itās not broadway, do not let anyone push you to feel like it is and needs to be perfect
high school directors have a tendency to do that
nah my director is lowk chill like that thank god
yeah. i mean some of the drama kids at my school are not my crowd, but its nice interacting with different people
it doesnāt have to be perfect till you got investors dumping thousands into it
they can be interesting
even here
i donāt vibe with all of them, i love all the dps tho, yet again i do not consider myself a theatre kid
oh interesting
donāt get me wrong they are all very nice, but they are extremely cut throat which i donāt believe in
they scare me sometimes with how intense they go
yeah sometimes the gossip i hear is very over the top
itās possible
as i always say itās not confirmed and absolutely could be wrong
Is it this week?
hopefully it comes or else its a day wasted
like fs
it definitely will be this week
student worker
could it be Wednesday (tmr)
i doubt it but all days are possible
alr
youāll get an email when itās released
about 45 mins after its actually released
but still
cmu coming out tomorrow?
instead of ppl repeatedly asking
why dont u scroll up and look at the msgs
i dont really want to man
thank you very much ur very kind and seem very sigma
i appreciate it
can anyone compare CMU Tepper to Georgetown McDonough business thx
Very simple
CMU is better for business in the US
Georgetown is better of intl business
Do most Tepper grads go onto work in Pittsburgh or NYC vs G town DC? Is it still a traditional business program or more quant?
also what is the social climate for tepper? & is it competitive or collaborative? thx
I donāt know shit I was just assuming Georgetown was better for intl business vs CMU is better for like tech analytics etc
Donāt know
I think gtown is more consulting roles CMU might be more like PM ish roles. So CMU is west coast more GT is like NYC DC more
when do u guys think cmu is out
Rumours say tmw
the yield is acc rlly bad iirc
@ocean garden
bro i shouldve listened to ts
i regret applying scs
the one where yale students were trashing cristian lplantgrorough?
im crine this is so many of my ecs no clue why i din apply ts
ur not chinese right
I'm not white š
Yeah I'm indian lol
is it tomorrow
I just heard tomorrow at 4:30 pm; good luck everyone!
Why did you think I was white š
From where
Also do yk if itās waves or all at once
ur linkedin looks very white
You're the third person to think I'm white from my LinkedIn
bro what else could it be
Indian
ts gotta be false
It's not I swear
Donāt see this on calendar which one?
lol
hi sansk
which are you looking at
in waves or all at once?
from where and what about the waves lol
LOL
Iām not
Iām 1/2 Indian
oop
At what time did ED come out?
Bcs it would probably the the same time for RD im guessing
what time did rd come out last year
Waves
do u know when they started
4:30pm est
How long were the waves going for
how many times will ppl ask the same question speedrun
Not sure but my friend said a college counselor posted it on insta
Mb mb should have scrolled up
Anticipation messing with my brain
itās only 2 days until like 3-4 my unis come out but Iāll be so upset if tmr cmu doesnāt come out
WashU also lowk bailed on their predicted date
T minus 22 hours
4:30pm EST 12TH MARCH
Is that time and date confirmed or speculation
Basically confirm at this point
It better not come out in waves I no longer have patience š
sorry to hear but you still have a shot since not rejected!! did u apply CS?
Data science
i mean wouldnāt it sound better than having a whole website crash for thousands of ppl LOL
when do the waves end
i love more than I am loved - so real
First sentence
CMU isnāt confirmed
Ahh
UIUC lmao
āt5 cs schoolā yeah js put the fries in the bag
ik i have more aura than them š¹ atp get more cs majors
bruuu i hate uiuc its so random
If CMU is the #1/#2 cs school then why canāt they do it all at once š
guys ap calc ab senior year + deca only ec vs calc bc 10th grade aime qual 4x who gets in for math at uiuc
might i add same school
Obviously the first one š„“š
yield prosecution yesss
bruh its ridiculous
Lol UF rejected my ass but GT and UVA both accepted me with their top scholarships š
Idk if it was actually yield protect tho
UF accepted my other friend early
And then he got into JHU
So
ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
bruh some cracked business guy at my school got outrigfht rejected from uva
he doesnt have any other non safety acceptances yet but hes prob gonna get something ivy day
Bro this guy at my school got into Princeton REA I think he might be the first person in the schools history š
Also no one from my school has gotten into Stanford since Covid so ššš
wowie
ohā¦
Absolute hell round btw
last year pton accepted like 3-4 people but i think it was rd i hope itās me this year š¤
bruh last year we had 1 princeton 1 columbia and they were both the same dude
we had hella cornell tho and a upenn
oh wait we had a dartmouth ed i forgot about ts
I heard š. It was very interesting cuz his stats were good but ECs were āmidā/not related to his major but his essays mustāve been hella good
do you go to a NJ school or a feeder
no???
very strange
bruh theres no way his ecs were that mid if he was accepted princeton rea
yea idk. but maybe history and environmental/public policy doesnāt sound too comp
the other girl, uhhh her brother goes to princeton and i think she did like aero engineering or smth idrm
we have other people that get accepted to ivies too usually and i think we used to be a feeder for upenn until this year š
Yeah Iād say itās more not related to his major LOL
oh
He applied for engineering
fire supps ig
Ok I get it Dutch ur the goat
bruh whattttt
no correlation
did he have legacy/athletics
Nope
No hooks
Besides maybe geographic cuz our state is kinda rural
But we donāt live in a rural area
If anything heās like a super well rounded guy and very community minded
Which fits princetons engineering for humanity theme
dam
ts is not confirmed
Hannah bahng š š
damn
there was also a super nice community/well rounded guy that applied this year from my school but he got rejected
kinda sad about it hes a nice dude
guys what time do decisions come out and if its rolling from what time will it start to roll
4:30 pm apparently
Oh my god sheās so pretty
LMAO
Lmaoooo
guys I realised that if I get into cmu
then I can say I went to the same school as the singles inferno lady
The person weād like to leave Inferno with is ⦠@heesunrose
Loved catching up with Carnegie Mellon junior Heesun Park after her whirlwind experience on @netflixās Singleās Inferno! The information systems student has done it all, from interning at LāOrĆ©al Korea to competing in Miss Korea.
Thank you for sharing your journey with u...
490352
hehe
fastest claim to fame
this is what im sayin
YESSS
Iām just hoping they come on time
am I getting sleep tonight? will update tmr
what major did u apply for
econs
i think they're gonna do waves like last year
highk pmo
im not gonna check discord around decision time i dont want to know about other people getting their decision š š
just gonna wait for the decision email
I just hope it appears by tmr night frankly
I really donāt wanna lose another night of sleep
is cmu ur top school
if u applied econ im guessing biz but also cmu isnt the best biz school so u applied other places so... no?
wow look at those inferences go
Itās a good choice for me yes (I like employability)
ya same
nah I only applied cmu for econs
like realistically my top is penn but i know im not getting in lol
The rest of the schools I filled in other social sciences
ohh ic
do u have a top school then
oof its hella difficult as an intl
have u gotten in anywhere
only locally
but thatās because cmu is my first rd school
is CMU confirmed tmrw?
no
cmu does not confirm decision releases
cmu please speed I need this
again yall please remember the information i got could be wrong, and theyād couldāve moved it, please donāt be mad at me if itās not thursday š š
plsplpslpslpslps
oh
imma be mad
ill be awake at 3:30 AM for this
š
dude go to bed
Peak intl behavior
do not stay awake till 3:30am
me when I say I want to sleep, but then Iāll probably be up at 530am as well
Itās the only way to get the authentic cmu experience
Iāll be up till 4 probably anyways just working on stuff š
true im typically working till 1am
worst i've stayed up was 5am
doing a loadout
they fuck me up
for a week
it sucks
yeah no itās the fallout that cooks u
is it fs this week tho?
I still donāt know why the portalās called āwhere are you in the process?ā
yes
why dont they announce it
like,,, where am I in the process
so mysterious
worst case its friday
Itās an accurate name
they never do
Probably prevents the website from getting practically DDOSed
nah but it shows nothing
idk if youād know this but if it comes out in waves does it like start in pittsburgh
UIUC getting cooked was lowk funny
not rlly
mit does it just fine
If they announced a date the portal astrology will be CRAZY
it all runs on slate
They were only running one pod with 1gb of ram š
UIUC notably dosent use slate
which runs basically all app portals
Yeah slate is fine tbh they scale well
100%
Itās the schools with their own portals that often crash and burn tbh
(Cough cough UIUC)
Itās lowk designed for 1000s of people spamming the server I hope
the only portal issue i've ever had was with ucla
last year
that one was down for like 5 mins
uf, ut, gtech, all did fine
Calnet can also get funky but the slate portion is usually fine
Itās the non slate part that has hiccups
Itās also funny how many loose endpoints there are to extract info on app status
they're a big school
can't be helped
Itās the way their system is designed
Your LDAP org id enough to deduce application status
which is a bit dubious imo
hoping you all get a letter like this soon š
I hope I get into first choice š
my first choice was bxa but they initially accept 12 but its quite easy to transfer into
I applied CS im cooked
praying too
12 total???
ya from what their website says
Lmao I gotta do diffeq too
Lowk gotta read 3 chapters for this hw š
HELP ggs
ik two friends applying for bxa
Everyone will get in trust
yeah way more then 12
but still quite small
i dunno why they put it on their website its dumb
oh yikes
š
Twinš
š„
LMAO
all nighter as portal astrology is crazy
which major would you do
for bXA
You
US
why r ppl sayin its thirs when its always been second friday
i think its thursday
today
me

ptsd
do we know when in the afternoon ts is coming out
In the grand scheme of things there is a nonzero probability it does not drop tomorrow


Gatekeeping
tahts bc it aint dropping tmrw
gatekeeper of knowledge 
I already know I got rejected so... 
same
what major
did u apply
Math
o damn
Wbu?

Nah trust the process
Do we know if first wave generally acceptances or is it just a random sample
Apparently waves starting at 4:30?
est
Last year it was a lot of acceptances and rejections
Then in the next waves it was a lot of waitlists
Thatās what I heard anyway
someone who got a likely letter said decisions coming out on 12th according to a "mail"? idk if this is true tho so we still dont know when its coming
Interesting
cmu gives likelies?
damn
what time
i didnt know aw
is cmu acc coming out today 430? 0_0
Speculation
ggs š
from what I've heard they don't
Not sure but I remember seeing on reddit last year that some people were getting until 2 days later
CMU sends out likely letters?
I havenāt heard anyone here get one
CMU has been dream school for a while šš¤. Pls CMU I need this
If I had to wager money decisions would be coming out tomorrow not today
Ryan said heās heard about it coming today
I applied to 40 schools and not ONE likely is it over for me
No
Vast majority of applicants donāt get likely letters
Not even in A2c
I was joking but thank you for the reassurance
Yeah idk why it would be today
Waow congrats
nice
so rrolling?
It was nice, but probably wonāt go š¬
omg omg omg CHAT
Ig
gang its rolling tho
I feel like most get it on first day
dont get ur hopes up
Anyone here from ED
oh
Defer
nah its 4 30 pm et thats 6 hours
Also there are a lot of defer to accept people here so itās not over
when would dietrich applicants RD get their decisions
I didnāt send an update letter cuz they said not to š«
same time as everyone else
There is a chance
idt anyone ik that did this
Weāre not even sure if it is today
A non zero chance
what is the other chance?
nonzero chance u dont
That itās tommorow same time
source?
oh fuh naw imma jus sleep
Definitely this week though
fuh this
CMU is probably the least transparent one about how they release decisions
Speculation
Yeah thatās why I love UVA
Princeton REA was also clear
fr tho litr no other skl does that š
you can remove the word release and itās still true
š
I think itās the only university with that opaque of an admissions process
Princeton REA was also shit
idt any other university burns all their admissions documents as soon as decisions are done
Umich and UT were shit too
yo am i dumb or is it in 6 hours
What the hell
r they gna send an email or direct u to portal
you literally can not FERPA access any admissions documents because they donāt exist
what time did ed come out
people have tried
also thereās like no pattern with the students they admit other than theyāre usually academically strong
as much as people like to say otherwise
no clue
1:30 pst
Yale was clearer šš
even i thought they didnt so idk
Really?
yes
Nicee
my friend got a likely
what major
ya i was told the 12th as well
i mean i think most shcools give likely's
but some give more
like yale prob gave 100 or so
but a school like princeton or stanford barely sends any
which?
wrong message reply sry
cmu
i think not many
but someone ik got
ye same
cant wait to get diddled by 2 decisions on the same day
š
whats the other one?
