Hi,

I’m class of 2017 and considering applying CMU tepper as an ED.
I just want to know how easier would be to get in as an ED compare to RD and stats of people who’ve got in/rejected from Tepper through ED.

(I’ve only heard people applying ED to CMU as an Enginering or Computer science and never heard anyone applying to CMU Tepper Early decision…)

Do a lot of people ED to CMU Tepper?!? If I do ED to Tepper, how much more chance would i have compare to RD? Does CMU like early decision applicants much more? + Do they accept November SAT II subject test scores?

(It seems like a lot of business major apply early to either NYU Stern or Upenn Wharton which r super reach for me…and I really like CMU in general… )

I think last year when I was looking through results thread for people applying to CMU early decision, it seemed like all the successful ED applicants still had insane stats. Including Tepper kids. CMU tends to take people with really high test scores and grades, esp. compared to some of its peers. I was waitlisted by Tepper RD. CMU as a whole is really quantitative and a really serious environment, if that’s what you want…

Tepper does not really get solid recruitment from a lot of BBs, if you’re pursuing investment banking.

When I was an applicant, CMU was one of my top choices, but I think I’m happier now that I’m at UVA. More fun and likely better for wall street.
