Carnegie Mellon Summer Programs for Diversity

1430 is great @Hamlon! But SAT scores will be here in 11 more days, so if you are more comfortable waiting, like I mentioned before, I don’t think it is going to matter.

Did anyone get a vague email about an enrollment application for AP/EA? I haven’t sent in my essays/recommendations yet, so I’m a little confused.

@Hamlon Got one today, didn’t send in my recs or my essay either lol.

wait omg it’s on a rolling basis?

i submitted everything except my recs as well, can someone explain to me how this works ><
and @rropey wow thats amazing!! it’s awesome that you got in, but this seems a little weird to me after reading the threads from past years!

so they send out acceptances at rolling basis too?

Hi, have you received an email with the link/procedures to upload the documents after you submitted the application?

Turns out they used only my transcript to give me the AP/EA scholarship. Omg. I guess I might be spending the summer at CMU.

Great to hear @Hamlon! you received the news today?

@notigering I emailed them out of confusion for sending the required documents and they told me. I probably should have known from the ap/ea emails I started receiving, but I didn’t know if I got the scholarship or not.

congrats to those who have gotten in! I’m still trying to complete my application, and I’m a little confused on something. If we submit the documents online, how would we submit our letter of rec without seeing it, since we have to attach the file ourselves? I’m probably just going to mail everything since it’s easier, but I was curious.

I want to do AP/ EA but not without a scholarship. How do I apply and show interest in receiving a scholarship?

@boahancock Yeah it definitely is strange haha, and it doesn’t seem to be an error because they’re sending me all the application/confirmation emails and stuff.

@emmaka I was planning on submitting everything online and mailing the letter of rec, but I ended up not needing to lol.

@Hamlon looks like I was in the same boat as you. Congrats!

@rropey just curious, did you think your essay was outstanding? im kind of worried that i didn’t try too hard on my essay >< also neither of my recommenders finished my recs since theyre prob gonna turn it in right before deadline…

@boahancock I was in the middle of writing my essay and I received my acceptance letter lol. So I never submitted my essay, the only things that I submitted were my transcript and PSAT score

Has anyone applied to art or game design?

S18 applied for art but has not heard anything. It seems like those programs are maybe more competitive because there may be less spots.

i wonder how they’re doing it this year! i have everything turned in except for one of my teacher recommendations, but haven’t recieved anything yet!

@rropey if you dont mind me asking, what are your transcript stats and PSAT score

@jeffrandell UW GPA: 3.81 GPA: 4.13 PSAT: 1470 (710 RW, 760 M)

for the people who have been accepted already, how soon after you submitted your docs did you receive an acceptance email?

I got accepted this morning!!! :slight_smile:
