Hi guys! I have noticed that there is no discussion thread for the Carnegie Mellon class of 2025. I was thinking that, with the deadline approaching so quickly, we should start a thread for ED applicants. It’s a super exciting journey that we’re all going through, so I thought we should have a place to share our experiences and ask questions. Feel free to add anything you like (comments, questions, concerns, etc.). Hope to hear from you all.
Hi! I am an international student from Asia. I have applied to SCS and am extremely anxious for the decisions. I know that the acceptance rate is super low for international students in particular but am hoping for the best. So which major have you all applied for?
My son applied to MCS ED. Do you know when decision is going to come out? I know they said 12/12 somewhere but sometimes it changes.
They will come out on 12th Dec at/after 9am ET.

Congratulations!! What are her stats?
Strong art portfolio
Good and clever essays
SAT (only able to take it twice bc of Covid) ended up submitting anyhow with explanation. E: 710, M 690
GPA weighted 4.6
GPA unweighted 3.7
She took very high rigor classes all four years
Several leadership positions/Many ECs
Founded service club at HS
Black belt Tae Kwon Do
Runs a side business online
I think what might have gotten her in was the variety of things she did, demonstrated work ethic, her strong portfolio and essays that were authentic. She did a portfolio interview that also went well. Hard to know what of anything made the difference. We did not think she was a shoo-in, so are very happy she got accepted ED.
Good luck to everyone!
