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

@akdoxmi Did you receive another email after you got your decision? It has been weeks since my decision and I haven’t gotten an email.

@Bing__Boy yeah sounds good! And nothing other than to pay my deposit.

@akdoxmi How much is the deposit? (If you don’t mind me asking)

This may be a stupid question…but do parents normally assist the students onto campus or do students normally travel alone?

@keileenorthcutt Most of the people that I knew traveled by themselves, but there is a good amount of people that came with their parents for move-in and move out days. Plus they encourage parents to come towards the end for symposium, but it is def up to you and your parents how you want to go about this.

@TheMadScientistX the deposit last year was $100 and that money is put in your account for you to spend

@TheMadScientistX It was $100

i just submitted my application and i know i have a slim chance as they pick students on a rolling basis but i’’ still give it a try :(((((((((((

For anyone that got into SAMS, pm me your info and I can add you into the group chat.

How many essays did last year’s SAMS require?

Last year there was one main essay of around 300-400 words and a smaller one of around 150 words; I’m a SAMS 2018 alum by the way.

@TylerH__ do you remember what the respective prompts were?

@Bing__Boy I’m not sure how to pm as I’m new to this haha, but I just got accepted yesterday! Could I possibly be added to the group chat?

@nml0512 Congratulations! At the top right-hand corner of the screen, there will be an icon of an envelope. Click the icon and select “New Message”. After that, just add in my username to the box and add in your information.

@nml0512 Quick question, did you already get off the waitlist?

@Bing__Boy thank you!! and yes, I got the updated decision yesterday and just saw that I got accepted like 2 hours ago. I haven’t deposited my $100 yet or submitted my summer program enrollment reply form but I plan on doing so tomorrow.

For those of you who got their results, did you find out exactly 2 weeks later or a little earlier?

@TheMadScientistX I got my decision 24 hours after my final essay was submitted

@nml0512 congrats!!! when did you submit your app? :slight_smile:

@nml0512 Did you message me your info yet? Just wondering
