[vague yoke]

PGH ENJOYERSSS

[valid jewel]

This actually looks so nice wrf

[vague yoke]

[valid jewel]

I’m gonna have to visit one day

[cedar turret]

yes where u going

[humble parrot]

Is tepper harder then normal CMU?

Like admit rate

[valid jewel]

I think CMU Is the furthest college I applied to which is crazy bc it’s not even that far

[cedar turret]

they dont publish that data officially

[humble parrot]

Oh alright

[gritty mirage]

i cant wait to get a dorm of misery

🔥

[solemn heron]

did you get in

[gritty mirage]

yeah

i dont think ill go though

its very expensive from waht I see

[rich tundra]

Any advice on what I could write for my reply form? Any help would be appreciated.

[valid jewel]

Financial aid is good if you’re poor and from the us

[gritty mirage]

i am not poor thats for sure

[valid jewel]

If you make over 100k tho they don’t care about you

[gritty mirage]

yeah

its wtv

[tacit sierra]

we finna be in the pitt

[vague yoke]

YES

[unique token]

i was lowk banking on making it in cmu bc of their aid and im poor asf 😔

[vague yoke]

Go see Allegheny general hospital!

[cedar turret]

honestly, what is typically recommended is any major updates (for example, you won a comp), and BRIEFLY, they do not want an essay, about why you still wanna come to cmu even with all your offers

[toxic violet]

wait how did u find a time with no ppl

[gritty mirage]

to be fair if youre like acutally poor asf

[toxic violet]

to take the photo

[gritty mirage]

a lotta schools will give you aid

[valid jewel]

Top schools financial aid is kinda funny

[unique token]

apparently not the ones i applied to without research

[gritty mirage]

super super top schools have hella

[tacit sierra]

of course man thats the tourist destination

[vague yoke]

AHHYES WAIT DID U GET IN

[cedar turret]

speaking of hospitals.... by the time this new 2030 class graduates the new hopsital will NOT be open still

[valid jewel]

If you’re lower middle class or slightly higher they’ll pay you to go there

[valid jewel]

Yaaa!!!!

[unique token]

i didnt apply to any top schools except cmu rlly

[stiff salmon]

so beautiful

[vague yoke]

When I first came here it was just another building

[unique token]

i applied to way too many public schools

[vague yoke]

OMG I FOUND FIRST 2030 ECE BESTIEEE

[rich tundra]

Okay, thank you!

[tacit sierra]

wait can i switch majors/schools for cmu

[stiff salmon]

do people really go visit it lol

[cedar turret]

my one good pic i can find of the campus

[vague yoke]

Yes…

[cedar turret]

my wonderful painting

[stiff salmon]

LMAO

[gritty mirage]

😭 you made that

[tacit sierra]

we are visiting the pitt

[stiff salmon]

we finna visit the pitt

[cedar turret]

my class and i did, on valentines day, for one of our profs

[valid jewel]

Taking a trip to the Pitt

[stiff salmon]

the pittttt i fell in it the pittttt you fell in it the pitttttt

[tacit sierra]

yo how easy is it to switch departments LMK.

[marsh ore]

the difficulty depends on what you're switching to

[vague yoke]

[tacit sierra]

shiii

[cedar turret]

it depends

[vague yoke]

2029 discord fence :’)

We’ll do one this year

[tacit sierra]

i got in for the english department but highkey idk if im trying to stay in the english dept

[cedar turret]

see i was going to paint that but i was fucking tired, i regret not chugging a mt dew and going to it

[valid jewel]

What department are you trying to switch to

[tacit sierra]

good question

[cold forge]

cs transfer is always fried

[valid jewel]

Okay ❤️

[stiff salmon]

you apply to a department at cmu?? that seems crazy

[cold forge]

did bro apply to any state schools lol

[valid jewel]

Huh

[cedar turret]

@vague yoke were u a move in volunteer last year

[vague yoke]

LMAO

[stiff salmon]

cmu is not a state school

[valid jewel]

The only state school that made me apply to a dept was stony

And even then that’s only for engineering

[cold forge]

cornell?

[tacit sierra]

maybe ill try and transfer into psych or stats dept

[stiff salmon]

cornell is only partially private

[valid jewel]

Binghamton i think said I got into engineering school specifically but I’m like 90% sure they don’t admit based on major

I hope SUNY buys Cornell’s engineering dept next

Actually nvm don’t

[cold forge]

usc?

I feel like there's a ton of private schools with separate colleges

[red root]

rejected for archi lol

[valid jewel]

University Santa Claus

Wait is that why he’s called Santa Claus

[versed spade]

does cmu give good aid

[stiff salmon]

i mean yeah sure but applying to a department is different than applying to a college no?

[tacit sierra]

yeah but even usc you apply to a major not dept

[versed spade]

😮‍💨

[valid jewel]

If you make under 100k yes

[versed spade]

ohhh amazing

[stiff salmon]

exactly

[versed spade]

my broke ass mneed it

[fiery knoll]

The calsification of duffield

[robust creek]

Waitlisted

Are we fucking serious

[tacit sierra]

usc my goal

[stiff salmon]

good luck!

[cold forge]

I mean that's basically the same

most of the departments at cmu teach a single major lol

[void prairie]

is waitlist basically just a rejection with extra steps? or does it actually mean something here

[junior cradle]

apparently cmu's waitlist rates are uhh not great

[cold forge]

yeah the odds are really bad

[cedar turret]

congrats!

[junior cradle]

https://www.ivycoach.com/the-ivy-coach-blog/college-admissions/carnegie-mellon-waitlist-acceptance-rate/ if this is a reliable source

[stiff salmon]

not really right? because at cmu it might be difficult to switch departments but you can apply undecided to usc

if im inferring correctly

[tacit sierra]

carnegie mellon acceptance rate off waitlist is 0.7%

[robust creek]

We are cooked

[tacit sierra]

according to common data set

[cedar turret]

yes, this goes off our cds data exactly

[cold forge]

you can switch departments pretty easily at cmu, it's switching *colleges that's hard

[rich tundra]

so im cooked

[hot seal]

waitthts good

[junior cradle]

same

[rich tundra]

whats ur major?

[cold forge]

with some exceptions for particularly high demand subjects (ece for one)

[vague yoke]

Hmm what about direct admits into non ece majors into ece is hard

[junior cradle]

physics, wbu

[vague yoke]

Yep

[solemn heron]

did you get waitlisted

[stiff salmon]

ohhh i see

[hot seal]

idk havent opened

[vague yoke]

Nice train

[hot seal]

im open in 15 min

[solemn heron]

gl

[stiff salmon]

so you can apply to a school undeclared

[solemn heron]

btw it kind of spoils the decision because if you get in it shows you accept/decline offer of admission under the view letter button

[hot seal]

its chill tho i dont think i rlly deserve it anyways

[stiff salmon]

it’s just that they have particularly specialized schools

[solemn heron]

you got like every single top cs program in the country you are cracked twin

[robust creek]

You got it

[cold forge]

the whole departments thing is basically to stop everybody in the engineering school from immediately switching into ece or everybody in the humanities and social studies school switching into stat ml lmao

[void prairie]

yeah im fried 🥀

[junior cradle]

i dont know you but dont think of it like that if youre not accepted

[stiff salmon]

makes sense

[junior cradle]

college admissions is an unpredictable thing

[hot seal]

thanks twin that means a lot twin

[solemn heron]

also check my name 💀

[hot seal]

🙏 🙏 ❤️

[solemn heron]

terminal imposter syndrome incoming..

[hot seal]

❤️

[void prairie]

yo i remember u congrats

[snow mauve]

How did y’all know cmu was gonna come out today

[hot seal]

yes i did #1400592122822004897 message

[snow mauve]

nothing was released officially

[solemn heron]

princeton victims W

[cold forge]

you get over imposter syndrome real quick lmao

[valid jewel]

This was lowk a very nice way to start my reach school decisions season

[cedar turret]

@shadow bridge did u open yet

[junior cradle]

apparently some ppl heard it through other ppl like counselors

[hot seal]

@cedar turret told us

[cedar turret]

:D

[valid jewel]

One person claimed to get it in a likely letter, another said they called admissions

[cedar turret]

i told chloe about 2 weeks ago after i was told

[tacit sierra]

thanks big man ryan

[junior cradle]

our goat ryan

[tranquil jasper]

Can confirm

[cedar turret]

i summoned thee

[valid jewel]

Oh ok awesome thank you

[toxic violet]

here's some night photos of campus ❤️

[valid jewel]

We appreciate e your service

[vague yoke]

Uh

[valid jewel]

Scotty’s market made their sign in 2 minutes in PowerPoint lowk

[amber flame]

cmu is out for me

?

[valid jewel]

Kind of a vibe tho

[cedar turret]

everyone

[amber flame]

oh ok

ty

[junior cradle]

hey chloe sorry quick question, on the waitlist leaderboards, when i break my streak, will the leaderboard show what my highest streak was or will it show 0 again

[tranquil jasper]

There’s a pinned poll too

[vague yoke]

Wait how are you a current CMU student on discord and we only have one mutual friend

[amber flame]

ty

[tranquil jasper]

We’ve always done current but I’m up for either

[flat heron]

IGOTIN

WTF

I GOTIN

[vague yoke]

Ahhhhahahahah

[hazy bramble]

omg congrats

[junior cradle]

congrats!!!

[flat heron]

tysm 😭

i got waitlisted by northeaster yesterday

so i was hells scared

[valid jewel]

We are actually twinning like crazy

What’s ur major

[cedar turret]

CONGRATS!

[toxic violet]

i don't use discord often lol

[junior cradle]

gotcha, thank you! maybe a separate column showing highest streak would be cool if others are also down for it

[cold forge]

pay the deposit and committ....

[tranquil jasper]

We probably need more people as a whole on it

[junior cradle]

indeed that's true

only 20ish on rn 💔

[flat heron]

chemical engineering

other schools EE or BME

[toxic violet]

wait any dietrich or IS ppl

[vague yoke]

Holy shit I’m so sorry

[toxic violet]

get accepted

[vague yoke]

I sent you discord

[carmine wagon]

GUYS I GOT IN

[light dome]

is transferring from one engineering to another feasible at cmu

[junior cradle]

congrats!!!

[vague yoke]

The linguistic bird person

[carmine wagon]

OMG

[light dome]

if i want to down the road

[vague yoke]

YESSS

[cold forge]

yes (except ece)

[carmine wagon]

THANK YOU

[toxic violet]

congrats on central michigan uni

[lusty lynx]

lol I got waitlisted

[light dome]

like from mse to meche maybe

[lusty lynx]

low-key at least they didn't reject me

[vague yoke]

Yes

[carmine wagon]

is it possible to transfer from math to physics

[cold forge]

yeah that's respectable

just don't try cs transfer

[light dome]

💀

[robust creek]

Damn I didn’t think I’d get in but this hurts more than it should

[light dome]

im not getting into that

[robust creek]

If guess we weren’t meant to be after ED defer

[light dome]

ion wanna do cs anyway

[cold forge]

georgia tech

[robust creek]

Maybe

Seems like that’s where I’m going to go

[valid jewel]

I did engineering but different kind

[median fog]

same

[valid jewel]

Carnegie Mellon is a sleeper school

[cold forge]

get outta here shoo

[median fog]

yeah

[valid jewel]

No one talks abt it but everyone who wants to do engineering or cs applied there

[median fog]

it's under the same school

[cedar turret]

@tranquil jasper do we get a thread next year cuz of how active we are?

🙏

[robust creek]

Hopefully I’ll come to CMU over the summer for the sports analytics lab

If I get into that

[astral thicket]

and acting

[cold forge]

hey don't forget art

[astral thicket]

and architecture

[cedar turret]

true, you'd be very surprised on how many ppl apply to sod

[astral thicket]

public policy is good

[toxic violet]

u can just sneak into an abandoned dorm and just go to open classes and no one will know

[cold forge]

archi is a bit of a damnation and death major tho

[cedar turret]

and then they force all the ppl who apply to sod to pay an additional $150 for their sod app

along with the $80 app fee for cmu

gotta pay for our sets somehow!

[vague yoke]

This is a thread…

[cedar turret]

yes

[vague yoke]

Like do we lose it

[valid jewel]

Acting was surprising to see but yeah

[vague yoke]

[vague yoke]

Ahahaahahhahahahaha

[cedar turret]

idk a bunch of schools lost theirs this year

[valid jewel]

STEM schools and their weirdly good acting programs

[vague yoke]

Yesss

[vague yoke]

lol why

[cedar turret]

no idea

[astral thicket]

are there any others?

arent we the only one

[cedar turret]

we are

well

[astral thicket]

what acting schools are better than us

idk much abt them

[cedar turret]

kind of northwestern and umich

[cedar turret]

nyu, only cuz of location

[valid jewel]

MITs is supposedly really good with theater but idk if it’s better than CMU

[cedar turret]

we still place better then them and have more opportunities, we are a lot smaller as well

[vague yoke]

Ahaah

[cedar turret]

but cuz nyc, they're ranked higher, even tho more expensive and worse

[toxic violet]

would u consider nyu a stem school tho

[cedar turret]

nope

[valid jewel]

No

I mean Tandon is there but it’s its own thing

Not even near the rest of campus

[cedar turret]

literally like 30-45 mins away on train

[cold forge]

fordham is better fr

[merry junco]

Hallo

[valid jewel]

I wish Fordham had engineering

The 3/2 with Columbia is nice but admissions is pretty competitive for it so it’s scary

[vague yoke]

nope

[vague yoke]

@weak iron

[stone shore]

are they still doing the stupid ass shit with waves

did Matt get his app back

[toxic violet]

wait do they have confetti this yr on the letter

[stone shore]

no bro

they added prison bars

lmfao

[cold forge]

don't do a 3/2 even if it's Columbia tbh

[hybrid frost]

Yo this is insane I was waitlisted for Economics with a 3.6 uw gpa and 1470 SAT

[cold forge]

I've heard nothing good about 3 2 programs

[cursive turtle]

Oh wow I got waitlisted

[weary wraith]

bros mogging me

[cold forge]

sounds reasonable

[robust creek]

Yes he did

(Not sure who you’re talking about)

[cursive turtle]

I got waitlisted for math 1470 SAT 3.7 uw lol

[cedar turret]

i've heard they suck and do not prepare you well

nor are impressive

especially the business ones

[cold forge]

see the issue is that you have to do all the engineering stuff in the 2 and you're kinda cooked on internships for the 3

[hybrid frost]

I would’ve thought i’d get rejected

[cursive turtle]

We are twining rn

[cedar turret]

yeah

[stone shore]

yeah you

wait how'd it go

[cold forge]

and you basically get a 200k opportunity cost

[tranquil tusk]

my brother got a weird letter, does anyone have a copy of a rejection letter they can send me

[hybrid frost]

Fym weird 🥀

What’s weird abt it

[tranquil tusk]

Like the lingo was weird

[hybrid frost]

cmu is full of nerds

[toxic violet]

did they send like an unlikely letter or smth

[hybrid frost]

they write weird

[tranquil tusk]

Didn’t say he was rejected but it seemed like he was

[cold forge]

twinjamin you got waitlisted lol

[tranquil tusk]

Ya

[hybrid frost]

“We are proud to tell you that you’ve been rejected” ahh

[patent rampart]

i got waitlisted !! hooray

[earnest jacinth]

anyone information systems?

[cursive turtle]

I’m seeing a lot of waitlists

[hybrid frost]

read the bottom half of the letter

what does it say

[hybrid frost]

sameee

[hot seal]

waitlisted

@robust creek twin

[tranquil tusk]

This is what he sent me that he got

[robust creek]

Waitlist

[tranquil tusk]

Thank you for applying to Carnegie Mellon University.

The Admission Committee has carefully reviewed your application. You were considered for your first-choice program, in the Tepper School of Business. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer you admission to your selected program due to the limited space within this competitive program.

With the large number of applications and the university’s limited resources, the Admission Committee must make difficult decisions to ensure we do not fill our academic programs beyond their capacity.

[robust creek]

Same

Fahhh

Wasn’t meant to be

[tranquil tusk]

Was he rejected?

[toxic violet]

i think that's a rejection.

[hot seal]

meant for gatech

[hybrid frost]

it’s like they hate to see him rejected what

[toxic violet]

it's just corporate softening at the end

[tranquil tusk]

But it said at the end:

You are a talented student, and we wish you the best of luck as you evaluate your other admission options at CMU.

[hybrid frost]

everyone does that

except for UW seattle

fuck them

They gave me two sentences

[toxic violet]

interesting

[hybrid frost]

and a burger

[tranquil tusk]

Read the last sentence

that’s why he’s confused

[toxic violet]

i would email

in like a week

[cedar turret]

oh

did he get a CMU-Q offer?

[hybrid frost]

maybe theyre tryna encourage him to apply for masters or other programs later

[tranquil tusk]

CMU Qatar?

[cedar turret]

ya

[tranquil tusk]

I don’t think so

this is why he’s so confused

[hybrid frost]

Caleb what does his portal show when he goes back to it

[cedar turret]

was he denied today?

[tranquil tusk]

Just shows that a new update

[cedar turret]

do u have a screenshot

[tranquil tusk]

Can’t send images here

[cedar turret]

dm me it

[hybrid frost]

what r u talking about

i just did

[toxic violet]

if there was anything, then there should be like a pop up or a drop down etc.

[cedar turret]

u have a role called "perms"

they dont

[toxic violet]

if it was a rejection then there's just the letter

or like not on the letter itself but like an option/change in the portal to do smth new

[hybrid frost]

i feel privileged

💀

[weary wraith]

respectable

[toxic violet]

hey Hendawg, glad to see you got in! if you see this message, this is a voucher for a free Iphone 18. Here's the code to redeem on apple --> I GOT IN YAY!

[hybrid frost]

he got the cmu acceptance and dipped this living hell

he don’t need A2C no more

i might do the same if i get any of my top 3 ngl

[toxic violet]

wuts ur top 3

[hybrid frost]

1. Georgetown Govenment major
2. UMich Poli Sci
3. CMU Econ or USC Econ

[quick vale]

waitlisted for cheme

sigh

[toxic violet]

cmu's social and decision sciences is like top as well so if u get in u could look into that as well

since it's more poli sci gov adjacent

[hybrid frost]

I like econ + politics because econ background and skills paired with political knowledge is a W combo

i think employers would value that

[ocean garden]

Can you censor that please

[blissful cobalt]

Cmu came out so suddenly

[karmic temple]

Yeah it was similar last year

I was waiting on mit on pi day and got CMU as a surprise a bit beforehand

[blissful cobalt]

Yea it’s so surprising

All of a sudden they said ur results are out

I lowkey expected it to be another day or 2 later

[thick quiver]

who pinged the thread

[karmic temple]

The funny thing is no college sent that plain of an acceptance letter

Deadass thought I got rejected and wondered for a sec why the rejection letter said congrats

[shadow bridge]

rejected

[blissful cobalt]

Lmaoo

[cedar turret]

i’m sorry dude

[shadow bridge]

dream university gone

maybe ill apply to transfer

[hardy tiger]

[hardy tiger]

ah i see

dw gng i also get rejected too

[shadow bridge]

yeahh

[cold forge]

[foggy pumice]

my son got waitlisted to Tepper.. G town here he comes!

[lavish tapir]

[shadow bridge]

bro r u fr

scroll 1 msg up

[lavish tapir]

didnt look up

[shadow bridge]

[valid jewel]

Very weird way to say other schools I guess

[lavish tapir]

are u sad

[shadow bridge]

well i slept at 8pm and i woke up at 330am to see the decision

so im a lil numb

[median fog]

based on his username im gonna go out on a limb and say maybe

[cold forge]

I mean the letters don't seem to be saying that they got rejected from second choice

so maybe they're doing two rounds?

[shadow bridge]

no i only want ece

idgaf bout other majors

[cold forge]

damn

[karmic temple]

There are a lot of ppl in other engineering majors transferring to ece

[shadow bridge]

name changed

😭

[cold forge]

they're admitting by department for 2030

[median fog]

cit is admitting by major now right

not undeclared

[hardy tiger]

what other schools did u apply for

[valid jewel]

Oooh wait actually you’re right

It does say at the top that they were considered for first choice, I was wondering what that meant

[shadow bridge]

all i got left is uw madison, duke ,pton, upenn and cornell

[valid jewel]

I don’t remember putting a second choice for CMU though? But I could be wrong

[cold forge]

were you deferred or applied rd

[valid jewel]

Applied rd

[hardy tiger]

dang i see

[snow mauve]

should i just expect to be rejected basically

[dull meteor]

Accepted!

[snow mauve]

im on waitlist cs

[cold forge]

what major?

[dull meteor]

Tepper school of business

is there an admitted students discord

[versed spade]

wait u did business admin. too right

[karmic temple]

They did for the co29 as well, ik

[versed spade]

cuz thats what i chose

[karmic temple]

But lots of ppl do internal transfer

Within engineering

[median fog]

yeah i meant '29 by "now"

im older than that mb

[karmic temple]

Lol allg

[dull meteor]

probably? do they admit by major?

jsut school right

[median fog]

yes

[meager frost]

whats acceptance rate for dietrich?

[weary wraith]

lemme check

yea nawh its ggs

[foggy pumice]

congrats! My son got waitlisted with a 4.0/4.8; 35 ACT decent EC's but not great. Very rigorous courseload with all 5 on AP's. He got into G town business so he will be going there now but he seems a bit disappointed bc he loves CS & wanted to minor in that

[shadow bridge]

we got moms here?

w

[dull meteor]

Thank you! Georgetown is also a great business school—congrats to him as well!

[foggy pumice]

cmu does not care about if anyone you know went here

[shadow bridge]

alr bye chat

[versed spade]

idk lmao

[shadow bridge]

maybe in another life

[valid jewel]

They admit by major

[dull meteor]

doubt it

since it was not in my admit letter

[median fog]

it depends on the school

not for tepper afaik

[versed spade]

ouh

[rustic quartz]

do u guys think cmu ece is worth it for the cost

[neat zephyr]

Wl ece how tragic 😭😭😭

[trail trout]

rejected but scs was a reach anyway

[median fog]

compared to?

[rustic quartz]

gtech and purdue

[valid jewel]

Oh I see

Sorry wait I didn’t even say what I meant

They 100% admit by school

I wasn’t sure if they admit by major

[wanton cape]

[novel rose]

Holy shit I cooked

[misty breach]

if anyone knows anything about humanities at cmu (dietrich) lmk! i got in for english!

huge congrats to everyone who got in for ece though... sounds terrifying

[tawny drift]

waitlisted

abs not getting in

[tired moon]

do yk why its private??

[marsh ore]

i think you're looking at the wrong one

it should be cmu_2030 with one underscore while cmu__2030 is the private one

[tired moon]

ohh ok ty! it only has like 500 followers tho? thats weird for a class insta page

[marsh ore]

theres a new account every year and cmu is relatively small compared to other universities

[dusky crag]

bro i got cmu waitlisted i dont know how

i think i applied to the wrong major

[light dome]

bro i dont know how i got in

i got the middest stats to ever stat

i only got good ecs

[dusky crag]

yo i got wl CMU CS

im rlly confused right now

[tired moon]

okok, guess they only let ppl who are acc committed post instead of everyone whos 98.63% decided lol

[dusky crag]

i got into every tech school i applied so far

[light dome]

isnt it like 3% ar though

waitlist is good for cs

[dusky crag]

bro

im just confused

i have no cs ec's

[light dome]

what else did u get in

[dusky crag]

i got into caltech mit gtech

[wanton cape]

my stats are also really mat

bad

[dusky crag]

but cmu wl ikd how it happened bro 😭

[light dome]

bros just playing for fun atp

[thick sleet]

Just take the W ig?

[wanton cape]

fr

actually smurfing

[dusky crag]

yo im just concerned its smth

for RD

i dont mind too much but

no

whyd u delete lmao

[light dome]

misclick

[dusky crag]

yo unless i get a scholarship

[light dome]

i meant to reply

oop

[dusky crag]

i got a few scholarships in the process

im not rlly mad

idk why i applied CS tho

[unique token]

Doesn't cmu waitlist 50% of apps even if it's cs

[dusky crag]

so im not sure if thats a factor

[marsh ore]

yeah that's correct

[dusky crag]

yea thats crazy

does cmu admit by school?

like cornell

[marsh ore]

yes

for some of them like CIT (College of Engineering) you're admitted directly to a major while for others like SCS (School of Computer Science) you declare your major in your second semester

[stone shore]

for CIT it's only ECE?

is it?

[rugged comet]

what is waitlist %?

[dusky crag]

<1%

yea i mean honestly i think

i just got lucky for this

[shadow bridge]

How many people does CMU waitlist

[manic edge]

A fuck ton

iirc

and ive heard they accept a minuscule portion of them

[regal swan]

fr

[regal swan]

yup

[dusky crag]

they already factored in their yield

you need to be full pay basically

so unless way more ppl reject u prob have no chance

or just dont hope for it

i dont know how to feel tho i think cmu made a mistake ive never felt this before im just kind of pissed i wasted the 80 dollar application fee

[wanton cape]

Why did they waitlist so many ppl

R they that concerned about yield

[hybrid frost]

apologies ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

[dusky crag]

they typically do that

many years

[regal swan]

bro

cmu not yeilding lil bro

💀

[dusky crag]

i dont want to sound arrogant but i think my app was good enough given other acceptances i think i either got insanely unlucky

[regal swan]

nah thats fair

its all luck

[dusky crag]

i dont think i got yielded tho

[fiery stirrup]

is it possible to add a major like robotics to physics? got in for physics

[regal swan]

nobodies getting yeield

alr ima leave ts threat

cyallll

[dusky crag]

yea idt theyll yield u tbh

if they have the off chance of even getting sm1 with IMO they prob would take

i cant say they made a mistake cuz its their choice but i think its p crazy i got a wl

the only thing i can think of is that i chose to apply to a different major

[wanton cape]

That’s not what I meant

[solemn heron]

didnt you get into mit and caltech

cmu has been good to us this year i think

[dusky crag]

yea

yo im not trying to sound arrogant like it is what it is

i just dont think i should have gotten waitlisted but its not my deciscion to make it was the college's

[wanton cape]

Wait why

[solemn heron]

didnt you say you had no cs ecs also

[wanton cape]

Sry too lazy to scroll up

Any hooks?

[dusky crag]

bruh no hooks

i applied in CS but they have diff majors

[solemn heron]

let me check what i put on my app hold on

[dusky crag]

yo i mean im not trying to cope with u all lmao ik it sounds

if i did smth else i think i would have gotten in

im just surprised

[marsh ore]

fwiw i dont think SCS decides on the different CS majors differently especially since its not binding at all

[viral timber]

damn waitlisted

[boreal helm]

aghhh darn it that was my dream school but congrats to everyone that got in!!!

[amber blade]

all it takes is 1 and just because some ao thought you wouldnt fit as a piece of cloth doesnt mean another AO will think you wouldnt fit in as a tree or as the color red

so stay strong 🫂

rejection is redirection ahh

[upbeat lichen]

i got wl for math :(

[boreal helm]

[manic edge]

[trim pivot]

WOW

[boreal helm]

its alright to be mad, but u genuinely gotta understand these schools come down to luck for all top applicants, no one can “expect” to get in
