I got admitted into the SAMS program about a week ago
For anyone who has attended the SAMS program in the past, how was your overall experience?
Bump for anyone who attended please share your review.
Is this program only for underrepresented minorities?
no
Does anyone know if my chances are significantly lower submitting it now since it’s on a rolling basis and started Jan. 1?
The earlier the better but your chances won’t be significantly lower
has anyone else gotten an email about acceptance?
I received an acceptance letter today, but they haven’t even received any of my recommendations yet. Should I tell my recommenders to forget about it, or not…
I contacted them at the end of January since I had issues submitting my PSAT score in the online application, and they still haven’t responded. Any suggestions on what to do? I’m worried since it’s rolling admissions and it’s already partway through February…
I decided to send the recommendations anyway.
@emmaka I would try to call them Monday morning. Are you sure your PSAT score is in the right format (PDF or whatever)?
@iamthe1 All we had to do was enter the numbers, the issue was that it wouldn’t save each time I went to the next page. Yeah, I’ll try calling - hopefully I’ll get a quick response and I can submit soon.
@iamthe1 This is exactly what happened to me?? I was accepted with no recommendations
Y’all, should I wait until I get my January SAT scores to submit? I only have a PSAT score and my SAT will likely be much higher.
@emmaka Try using a different browser.
@Hamlon This is a tough question, since I’m not sure how much of a factor test scores play… But at the same time it is rolling admissions…
@hamlon Are you waiting on the Jan SAT that will be released on the 23? If so you are probably fine to wait at this point. What was your PSAT score?
This is the 1st time CMU has done rolling acceptances so I am guessing they are going to do so in batches. Students have been given 30 days to accept the offer, so I am just speculating but it seems probable that they won’t accept another batch until the 30 days pass and they know how many spots they have filled.
@enmaka There is an address to send parts of the application, just throw the PSAT score sheet in the mail.
@planner03 I got a 1430 on the psat. On my last practice test before the sat I got a 1470.
