Penguin what major you apply
p high chance tho
hci
cmu loves oly kids
Oh ok
what time today
I ed’d and got defer
est?
what did u have?
3.99 1560 13 aps 800M
Applied Dietrich stats data science
Oh nah my bad
I see
AO's have even said that at CMU
esp if u have like camp level for the sciences or AMO/JMO or better
Wat were ur ECs?
like its smth they actively look for
@robust creek u instate or oos for uw cs?
Couple publications in sports analytics journals, sports, president of school clubs, library volunteering coordinator, etc
Instate CS
So not too cracked
blud underselling himself
Nicee
What major were u shootin for tho
Pretty upset I didn’t get into CMU because they have a great sports analytics lab
Stats and data science
how much worse it is vs intl/out of state?
CS CMU is def harder
At Dietrich
but i know someone who capped on their cs with a lower gpa and got in
Very hard Oos and intl
its very rare tho
cmu is private so oos doesnt matter
Oh cool
Yeah idk why they deferred you tbh
sometimes you just gotta accept these places aren't meant for ya ✨
were all ur ecs filler @robust creek ?
Talking about Udub CS
mb
where is the source for the march 12th release
i thought it was gonna release statistically on 2nd friday of march
I mean I got Georgia tech and Udub so I’m kinda chillin
r u in state gatech?
Oos
u did EA?
Yes
more than US kids?
Probably not
More than others
yeah fair enough
also depends on ur ecas too
yo im a bay area student 3.95 1560 class president internship at my city's mayors office what are my odds
You have comp stats
what major u goin for
im intl w 1490 (780 M) for econ deitrich am i cooked
Bay Area?
film
ull prob get in icl
I got ecs for that
Oh that actually ups ur chances ngl
Yeah got defer Dietrich hoping for today
Stats help, but film is hard
im cooked bro i applied mech engr at CMU
Mech Eng is easier at CMU
Compared to other Eng
I think you’re in a good spot
but idk my chances
i applied cs twin
CMU CS intl?
yeah ure fucked
gl bro
❤️
yeeeep
im domestic applicant 1520 sat 3.96 UW
does cmu qatar come out at the same time as regualr cmu?
yall is 1580 intl math cooked
its gonna be either today or tmr for sure right
jeez thats insane bro
That’s not cooked gng
sat dont rly matter in these schools anyways right?
yes bro even 1500+ took me a few tries
CMU cares
i assume everyone has 1550+ here
They like test scores
i have 1520 gng
issue is i have 790/790 split and i heard somewhere cmu wants 800
1500
but i have 790 math and 730 reading
my internship at mayors office i helped make videos, made short films, UCLA digital filmmaking program, led my school's news channel, etc
I mean I applied as 800M and didn’t get in ED
Not a huge deal tbh
lets hope my 1590 carries me 🤞
i mean u did apply CS. did u get deferred?
No I did stats data science in Dietrich
oh ok
SAT after a certain point is just a benchmark for if you can survive. at a certain point, its not gonna help you or hurt you
yeah
lowk tho i might actually be cooked
anyone here stats and ds
my stats did not carry me through UT austin aerospace engineering
im so confused tho i thought cmu was releasing april 1st
hopefully this is method and it helps me get in
it got me in UIUC and Purdue tho
but cool ig im getting cooked by multiple schools
i alr got ut austin film tho
just financial aid kinda bad
i mean ig it is lowk competitive
but ouch
how many hrs till cmu
like 5
shit
allegedly
do yall pull all nighters for results
ehh depends
sometimes
12 rn
1:30am
i did a few times
11 rn
I was up til 5am for neu yesterday 😭
intls!! less go
literally the only schools i got into are ones i haven't pulled all nighters for
LMAOO
go to sleep
9:30pm
yea
U Singaporean?
no
anyone else doing aerosapce engr?
what major
boutta pull the worst sleep of my life
Holy goated
or the best
thank you twin ts boutta ruin me though
LMAO u got it bro trust
what major did u do
Me in a JC? naww
as long as ts not CS
What time is CMU dropping today?
5 hrs
4:30 EDT allegedly
1:30 PST 4:30 EST?
dk bro
I don't go to a JC lel
But if I was gonna go to a JC in SG def poly
Not intl either
I'm in a weird spot lol
I am
u got that
well cs hci which is less common
even i applied hci
but still its scs so cooked
they like it but its definitely not guaranteed
USAMO still puts you at ~40% admit rate
bruh these admit rates
r just made up
its def very high but u have no way of saying its 40% lol
if ur like top of ur class 4.0, soild essays, and solid other ecs with AMO ur prob gonna get in 9/10 times at CMU
thats why acceptance rates arent a good way to gauge ur odds at any college
like if a college has a 5% acceptance rate
sm1 with like way below stats and no ecs practically has a 0% chance
but someone with mentioned above may have a 20% who knows
Comp bio 😜
yeah but even at these type of schools it’s safe to assume maximum chance depends but usually for the average high achiever is like 20-25%
Imo there’s lots of ppl like this
Maybe I’m wrong
again i mean thats just an arbitrary number
i doibt
theres prob 100 kids with AMO applying this year
maybe 150
What’s AMO?
its the math oly for AMC 12
ohhhh
usually 11th and 12th graders
Yeah r rightly
i think 250 kids get it a year
united states of america math olympiad
but im assuming at east half
are not applying ever yyear
so 100-150
but yea like i rarely ever hear any1 with AMO get wiped
and if anything its because they had nothing else on their application or bad stats
even the one post on reddit the kid who had AMO got it the year apps were due he sent updates and got waitlisted most placaes and accepted yale
i think it was last application cycle
and that was for a college update not even his awards he put for his RD apps
also a college like vandy or darthmouth might not care as much abt olys comapred to mit or cmu
so u cant solely rely on it at those types of colleges im sure they def do admit a lot of oly kids but they prob had other things on their app that showed good "fit"
AI?
Unc rly ran out of the gpt limit
this is from a USAMO ik that has other USAMO friends who have gone through the admissions process
if u qual usamo and update in like senior year
isnt it too late
p sure it came out like mid-feb this year tho
no one knows how CMU does decisions so its impossible to determine this
I like doing personalized acceptance rates
I have a big e-commerce brand and a very unique hardship case
and I asked gpt to like peer comparison to see if anyone got in with such and such and it was hallucinating ppl and making it up
apparently, they're not doing rolling admissions ✌️ 😂
where u hear that
and thank god
rolling is stupid imo
i def agree
imagine waiting for the last roll and just get rejected
they probably invested a lil more into their servers 🥺 for us
Bruh if it’s tmr im gonna be pissed
“CMU TODAY ARE WE HYPE
EDIT: I CALLED ADMISSIONS AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO WAVES AND IT IS ALL DROPPING TODAY AFTER OFFICE CLOSE, AND IF NOT, TOMORROW!”
caps lock 🙁
Copy paste
yeah they seem excited
they didnt do it last year
awesome
They did? Isn’t that where the rolling thing came from
it’s gonna be at 4:30 or 5?
do we think they're coming today 🥺

source: i made it up
Damn I thought it was confirmed by likely letters
hes lying
how do i know you're not lying 🤨
i guess we'll never know
I want phone logs and a transcription of the call…
same twin
What other schools did u apply to js curious?
dms
twin
You probs would have gotten in ED
yea def
does CMU waitlist a lot...
im the opposite wish i applied cs but i applied info
better not get waitlisted
yuh lol
part of the reason i decided to ed2 cuz that waitlist is fried
after the defereal
</3
deferred applicants have a much higher chance than waitlisted no?
r y'all scared for decisions lol
yeah
a little
my family owns walmart so if y'all want some gentle monetary support to maybe push decisions towards ur favor, let me know ❤️
bro praying it drops all of them today
arent they considered as rd applications
they should have the same chances as rd kids which is much higher than wl
Nah idk
Maybe some edge
For yield
imo deferred is about the same chance as RD
we actually weren't told this during orientation
i want to believe this is real
Really?
We r fried
I think in the sense it’s because there’s a reason they were deferred and not rejected. And time of deferral to rd not a lot of stuff can be done for amazing LOCIS
nah u gotta have hope
Scs is scs
yeah
I applied for comp bio there
it’s still as comp as cs tho I think
bc they don’t admit by major, only by school
doesn’t cmu come out on fridays?
y are ppl saying today
also some ppl are larping likely letters online lol
My son applied to tepper business; I assume that's easier to get into than comp sci..?
What’s the time of day?
accepntance rate is higher but who knows tbh
It starts rolling out at 4 30
yeah
So in 1h 30 mins Im pretry sure
i read the acceptance rate is 19%
for tepper vs 7 for scs
includes ED though so def a bit lower for RD
thats probably mba
really?
yeah hard to know.. luckily he already got into Georgetown mcdonough business so he's good but I think it will be a hard decision for him if he gets into CMU! I'm rooting for g town b/c closer for us LOL
yeah
theres no world where the rate is higher than canadian school rates
at least not for undergrad
although at the info session they said ED doesn't increase chances?!! but who knows
whoever wrote that article is lying out of their ass
SCS is also wrong for this year lmao
it probably includes mba acceptance rates
oh
tepper undergrad is like 10% ish
for undergrad SCS can confirm the figure was off
I think the real figure is somewhere around 4.5%
G town was 11% so will be interesting to see if he gets in...
do yk if its today or tmrw
either one i cannot fully confirm one
but i have heard today
from better source
Does CMU do likelies?
for certain programs
man I want a likely
yall best of luck today if it does drop while i am in class
remember to dm me or @vague yoke or another cmu student if you get in so we can get you into the cmu 2030 discord, committed or not!
what time does it drop?
thanks
I wonder if they do cs likely letters I would guess no
last year 4:30
ET?
yes
Pls statML
does cmu send an email b4 decisions come out
Wait your got defer too ED right
nope
I did scs - im so fried 😭
you’ll get an email about 45-60 mins after
Last year they also said it would drop the day after and they dropped the day before?
Thank you!!
yes
Alright thanks I’m pretty confident it’ll come out today
does that mean in 1 hour 😭
Ur info was best source I think
yep
get ready for no confetti acceptance letter
Why is cmu so ominous dropping decisions
damn
do they actually do this
bruh
college admissions really trying to be nonchalant 😭
What percent get accepted, waitlisted, and rejected RD?
andrew carnegie came to me in a dream and said everyone in this server is getting in
andrew carnegie j wants ur 96k
yep!
check cds
it’s pinned
andrew mellon came to me in another dream and said the opposite so 50/50 chance
😔
guys just know if ur not putnam fellow in hs u not getting in twin
possibly
guys there is a new reddit post saying coming out at 7pm pittsburg time
hi
just
ignore pittsburgh
i mean reddit
and wait for the email
lowk fade pittsburgh ts too cloudy and cold
nope i applied ED wharton
gang i dont know who to trust anymore
maybe the admissions staff are trolling us and pick a date and time from a hat for each call they get
do you like rishi or cyrus more
whoever gets into cmu
cyrus didn’t apply
wow
he said he hates your school
yeah well i do too
@stoic relic
lol
no
I thought I didn’t get in for a sec
4:30 EST td is most likely right
30 minutes
#swagalicious
Excited for my first rejection since northeastern was a waitlist
run around in circles
is it confirmed today or just rumors
At least 2 people claimed to have contacted CMU and heard that it would be today
Btw the portal took 4ever for me to load rn so I’d assume it’s prolly today? Can’t imagine a ton of people would be logging on to check at this time…
mine loaded just fine rn
^^
mine took eons
Please
still just complete 
wait did they require mid year for drferrred students
Dude I got rejected ED. GPA: 4.9 IMO gold medal and conrad finalist.
iamo?
it can't be at 4:30 if it's after office closes right
mb imo
that's a good point actually:
from the website - "LiveChat: available 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET Friday"
The office closes at 7
so many conflicting sources
7 or 5 lol
I was told it was dropping at 4 is it out?
4:30 apparently

?
Im just gonna cope and say I got yield protected from CMU haha
they absolutely made a mistake letting me in 🥀
less ppl on waitlist is better 4 u
Omgggg the incline ❤️❤️❤️❤️🫶
ye thats good
There’s a whole day on orientation week dedicated to imposter syndrome don’t worry
one of my coworkers also runs for cmu so i am a pgh enjoyer that way too (i see her runs on strava and the city looks pretty)
When is financial aid 👀
So I’m worse than the average cmu applicant 😭
Y'all please don't say this (for any school)
The team has been doing this for decades, obviously you are capable if they let you in! Don't doubt yourself, you deserve everything you got
not this year I think
seems like they are rejecting a loooot more
if anyone who got admitted did not get invited to 2030 discord ping me here or dm me
Wait omg yayy!!!
City is so so prettyy
rejection is redirection
just because you weren’t a good fit to be a piece of cloth doesnt mean you aren’t a good fit to be a tree or a bulldog or whatever
What is a crimson
its the color red
That's so lame
stats are like 6 or 7% of the decision twin
not ling 😔 i lowk forgot my major but it was like history or intl relations or something adjacent
The Harvard reds
same with the stanford cardinal, also the color red
Is anyone a cardinal (bird)
for anyone curious i structured two of my essays around wanting to do the same job as one of their famous alums
Someone said “go Harvards!” Once and I laugh everytime I think abt it
Dare I say cardinal (Christianity)
st louis baseball team is i guess
Go Harvards!
which is true but may not work for most people
the harvard republicans
no no no don’t think that way, cmu with admissions is really fucking weird and there is no good way of describing it, it’s pretty much just a lottery
its inspired by the color of their robes! and so is the bird name
cardinals be lookin like a stop sign fr
why are they the crimsons anyway that is so lame compared to the bruins or the bulldogs
Not the Harvard Salient
crazy the bird is like linguistics tho right
i feel like my entire life was wasted 😭
I think yale has the best mascot tbh
when conan o’brien dies can they become the harvard tonight show hosts
And the best songs
me 2 (please let me in yale)
I got waitlsited bruh
YABBAANYACHISQSHAYE❤️
anyone apply to bcsa?
I lowkey feel awful abt my yaleterview but it’s ok
yabbaanyachisqshaye 😇 🙏
Whatever happens #happens
me too… fuck it we ball
All my interviews were so awkward
does cmu like do the stats like MIT?
Yale didn’t ask any hard questions at least
My yale guy interview was at his house
I think almost all my interviews were at house
My vassar interview was the best thing I ever had but apparently it’s informational
they dont release admission stats
Oh wait you went to his house?
This so unprofessional
Like not virtual?
i see
omg i did engineering and art
That’s cool
Yes I went to his house
excuse me
Sorry wait I misunderstood lmao mine were virtual and they were in their house
It was ok I met his labradoodle
What does this mean
yep!!
only the CDS
if you're on the cmu wifi and have a cmu id, TDS has data
Its like yale but a portmanteau of abba anya chisq and shay
Because we will all be bulldogs
idt they have GPA SAT stats
they do not
it was supposed to be added eventually but it kinda just wasnt
ah
got it
Mysterious ahh school
His daughters went to school with my bestie that I did my internship with and the whole family is apparently the same
cmu admissions in a nutshell
cmu:
It was rlly funny I told her his last name and she froze
So meow
I’m so happy I got in
yeah they do NOT sugar coat it
i hope one day a college starts their admissions letter with unfortunately
I’m dming
i got dietrich does any current cmu student know how hard the tepper transfer is
Did everyone’s letter say this?
At least they say you’re a talented student that’s nice of them
rejected but idc
should be easy
Yes
what major!
all of them do for legal reasons
Kinda scary since I just bombed a calc test
YOOO CONVRATS
Ok I got scared cause I’m intl
I heard intl usually get recisnded more if the predicted grades don’t match final to the tee
But I’m us citizen so it might be ok
just so you dont start failing all ur classes, they tell u "go away" and u sue them
you can fail and they still wouldnt rescind
Congrats!
just dont fail to the point u dont graduate
Idk if it works like that in Pakistan I know lots of unis that rescind based off a few lower points maybe it’s Pakistan specific
okay hopefully
Mech eng
tyty
Who's a CS admit here?
did you get in?
I did computer engineering
its not that depressing here
lol
i went on a sunny great day and smth felt off
ppl overhype how depressing it is
cmu just not for me
It’s so pretty
well... yesterday it was NOT
I heard the atmosphere is a little more like. Serious. Is this true
Perhaps
Not depressing but just like. Serious
NO
not at alll
it is so fucking silly here
Ok yaaay ❤️
ofc u have profs who treat this like boot camp
whats the possibility of being accepted through waitlist?
technical direction @ SOD and ece!
Unfortunately, we are able to offer you admission. Fuckin loser #LOL
really depends
The website and stuff from current students made it seem fun but on Reddit they make it seem uptight so I just wanted to make sure that’s awesom
Well they're redditors
that is so cool
true
yeah ppl love to complain o reddit
#never trust a Reddit user
ECE !
omg… pittsburghhh
Omg same 🥹
depends on yield rate and many factors
so many ece people lolol
I GOT IN FOR CMU ENGINEERING LETS FUCKING GO
CONGRATS!
CONGRATS fire pfp btw
check dms @thick sleet
Thanks!
Type shi
