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

Did anyone accepted to SAMS also apply to MITES? I know we won’t receive MITES decisions until 4/15, so will you accept your SAMS and then withdraw if you get into MITES, if that is your preference?

@nomorecoll96 it took me 4 days but I know in the past, people had to wait as long as May to be taken off. As for getting accepted into both, they either do one or the other. If you don’t get accepted into SAMS, they add you to the list for AI4ALL underneath everyone else who had put AI4ALL as their first choice

It’s been a week today since I submitted the last part of my application. Hopefully, I’ll get my decision soon. I’m extremely worried since a lot of people have been rejected with better stats.

My son uploaded his last essays to the program on 1/31 and he was accepted to SAMS today. Good luck to everyone still waiting.

I was accepted today! Is there a group chat or something for those who have been accepted?

Yes! Further back in this thread there’s a link to a GroupMe, with some SAMS alumni in there too!

@keileenorthcutt

okay, thank you!

for some reason I can’t find the link. I also can’t PM anyone my info:(

@keileenorthcutt Sadly, College Confidential doesn’t allow us to send links. I did add the link before, but it got removed.

**MODERATOR’S NOTE[/b[:

Further back in this thread there was a link to a GroupMe, but I deleted it as a ToS violation. Other ToS violations deleted at the time were offers to PM the link and requests to send the link/be added to the chat.

Hello, question for you and anyone who got accepted! First congratulations. My cousin is applying for SAMS 2019 and in the application we do not see where to upload the essays. Will this come next and can he submit this part whitout the recomender?

@jialo2003 You are correct that the essays come in the next part of the application. You won’t see the essays at all until you submit the 1st part of the application.

My recommender doesn’t see where to submit their rec. Does anyone know?

I was accepted!!!

Same, they dont receive the emails. Anyone help?

I got in!!!

If you’re wanting to apply for SAMS, did you also fill out the AI4ALL essay questions? Also, how did you format the essays, text size and everything. About how many words were all your essays. Thanks!
