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

@rushilbyatnal would you be willing to list some stats? Did you have any hooks towards AI/CS?

@sublimekorean exact same situation. Getting very anxious now as have to decide on COSMOS before April 12.

Applications to SAMS and AI4ALL has closed. This may mean that they are close to filling up all the spots…

I got into ssp but I really hope AI4ALL makes a decision soon, I’m really frustrated because I’ve been waiting over 2 months now because I don’t know if I can afford SSP

I emailed them asking when should I expect a decision. Within a day they updated it. I suspect they rejected me long back and did not find it worth notifying me of that until I asked.

Despite getting waitlisted, I got accepted to SAMS!!! I’m extremely happy!!! I would like to know the previous experiences of those who have done the program before.

@SakkaBoi What was the date you got wait-listed on?

@sakkaBoi, did they send you an email telling you to check your portal? how long do you have to decide/put down a deposit?

@nomorecoll96 You have a month after acceptance commit and send in a deposit.

Is there group chat that I can join for accepted SAMS students. I wanna see the people I will be heading to Pittsburgh with this summer (assuming I dont get into MITES lol)!!

I found out about the program last minute so I didn’t really get to perfect my essays

I got into MOSTEC. Hopefully SAMS comes through

I got in too! Can you do both? @ShiroWet

No…they intervene. Plus I don’t want to drain myself

@ShiroWet then why SAMS over MOSTEC?

@llamarage Mostec is pretty much all online. at least with Sams you get to stay on campus

Any news towards AI4ALL? I’ve been waiting 3 months now…

@sublimekorean I called and they didnt even know, just took down my name and said theyd pass my question on…

Has anyone gotten off the waiting list these past few weeks?
