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

There’s a good amount of info for people who has gotten accepted but can someone who’s been rejected please share their stats?

@jjhh516 thank you! and I submitted the first part of the application on December 11th and submitted my last essay January 13th

@Bing__Boy for some reason it’s not letting me send messages because I’m a “new member”

Am I considered late, or “on time” if I submit my application sometime this week?

I just wish I was able to submit my application earlier since I heard the earlier you submit the higher your chances are

@nml0512 i thinkkk you have to have at least 16 posts to be able to PM somebody

Also, will CMU start reviewing my application if I don’t get all my essays for AI4ALL (second choice) in, but do have all my essays for SAMS (first choice) in? or do I have to submit both sets of essays for them to begin reviewing?

submitted my essays just recently, but my recommendation letters seem like they’re being procrastinated on lol. do they consider your application right after you submit your essays? i think i read in another thread that they got accepted despite not submitting letters of rec

I’m pretty sure the full application has to be complete

Hello all! I have submitted my initial application and now just need the supplementary materials, which I hope I can get in within the next 2 weeks. My question is that I didn’t have a resume to include in my initial application so I’m wondering if that will affect my chances of getting in.

@h3110w0rld Last year I got in without a rec! so I guess they do. Again SAMS is changing mainly because there is a new director so I dont know if this would be the case like @thejmarie said. Though still would recommend to have them get it in anyways.

@mgeek23 There is a new director this year?

@debatemusiclover i dont think a resume was required for this year’s app so you’ll be fine

@sublimekorean yes

@Jdeng28 You have to submit both sets of essays I believe. You are still “on time” if you submit your app this week, but as you mentioned, the admission is rolling, so try to submit as early as you can before feb 15.

@debatemusiclover I don’t think they require a resume, there was no place to upload one in the portal.

How early/late should I expect an admission decision?

@keileenorthcutt When did you apply?

My second letter of recommendation was sent in last night. All of the other parts were sent in by last Friday.

Dang, I got waitlisted.
