Carnegie Mellon Summer Academy for Math and Science (SAMS) and AP/EA 2019

Applied for AI4ALL on the 11th of Feb haven’t heard from them yet… I did have a word with the university and they said many decision will be release today. Fingers crossed!

Just called CMU & they said that decisions are going out daily, so the next batch will be show up on the portal tomorrow.

Oh ok yikes I was rejected but I guess the acceptance rate is 7.5% considering 120 spots and 1600 applicants … oh well :frowning:

I was rejected too!

on the waiting list for SAMS, but never heard back from AI4ALL. Does anyone know if they hold off on one if you are on the waiting list for the other?

Oh well, got rejected from AI4ALL… Are there any real good summer programs that will boost my college app?

got my decision around 8pm est last night… was accepted to SAMS!

^^

who else is still waiting for the email :expressionless:

@jimjung76 haha me too

Keep checking the portal as well. I received the email 10-15 minutes later

@secretscreenname lol i’m late but thanks for the response. Have you heard back from Carnegie Mellon? I still haven’t heard back yet and I’m starting to get a little concerned.

Rejected :frowning:

I never got an official email about the decision. I checked my portal last night and nothing was updated so I sent them an email. Then I got a reply telling me to check my portal this morning. Kinda weird

Sorry to hear that man that sucks. :frowning:

I still haven’t heard anything and my portal hasn’t changed, but if you heard back then I don’t think it’ll be long for me… wish me luck

I hope you get in :slight_smile: I’m kinda sad that I got rejected cuz idk what I’m gonna do over the summer now, but I think writing the SAMS applications really improved my essay skills. Also I find it a little sus that they were able to respond to my email so fast and provide a decision so early in the morning (7:00am est). prolly just a coincidence lol.

Yeah but that is pretty weird lol, makes me scared to contact them :-SS, and thank you, I hope you find something to do this summer.
