<p>I'm a female chemE major at CMU, and I'm bored over winter break. So ask away. :)</p>

<p>I was wondering about basically the entire social scene at CMU? Do you have time to have a life? (no offense, but you see where I’m going with this) Not to be shallow, but how are the guys? Do you feel like you made a good decision going to CMU? Anything else you think a prospective student should know?</p>

<p>How is the chemE program at cmu? And pittsburgh?</p>

<p>I am a highschool freshman from Canada. I have three questions:

  1. Does CIT <strong>strictly</strong> require students to have taken one year of biology?
    –i will most likely apply to electrical engineering, which has nothing to do with biology…
  2. my native language is Mandarin, but I will have lived in Canada for 5 years by the time I send my application – will I still have to take the TOEFL?
  3. Does the AP/EA program significantly increase participants’ chance of getting into CMU? (given that they do well in their summer courses of course)
    It would be great if a current (preferably Canadian :P)student @ CMU could answer my question. Thank you! :D</p>
