Hi guys!
How many people (approximately) apply for Comp Bio at CMU? It is in the School of Computer Science, so I assume that it is difficult to get into? Thanks.
i think CS admits about 180 while CB admits about 20.
Do you have source for this?
overheard CMU professor
People are accepted into SCS, rather than for a specific major. About 500 students are admitted and 200 enroll. Since CS and CB are both in SCS, they have the same acceptance rate.
wonder why SCS yield is only at 40%? I know its a world renowned program.
@kjake2000 Probably the $60K/year price tag coupled with how easy it is for students to apply to numerous schools via the common app.
