<p>bump..........</p>
<p>I would like someone to clarify this:
Why does the Diversity and the Pre-college have same phn numbers and e-mail? Besides, what is the point in having the same program, one costly and one free?</p>
<p>^
i really wouldn't know. from an outsider's point of view, by having a diversity program, the college can increase the diversity of the program and maybe possibly attract some of the 'high' qualified students. i mean, who doesn't like free stuff.</p>
<p>the SAMS website says:</p>
<p>

The curriculum for rising high school seniors will include credit and non-credit courses designed and taught by members of the Carnegie Mellon faculty

</p>
<p>Which courses give you credit? (this question is for people who have attended SAMS before)</p>
<p>did anyone get any sort of confirmation that they got our app/info? I sent mine march 1</p>
<p>not yet. I also sent mine on March 1st</p>
<p>can someone answer me about the credit/non-credit courses?</p>
<p>Hey, so what do you guys think my chances are of getting in? I have a 4.0 on a 4.0 scale, but my weighted GPA is 4.84. I'm in IB and several AP classes. I got a 32 ACT and a 218 on the PSAT. My extracurriculars are opera, tennis, and community service. I ask becuase I have another program on hold but this is probably my top choice.</p>
<p>^What program is that?</p>
<p>I'm not sure, you chances seem pretty good. But I know of some people applying who have got 2300+ SATs, and same ECs and grades. Hopefully, you're a URM.</p>
<p>Yeah, I am a URM, actually. The other program is the LEAD buissness program - my counselor said it looked great on college apps., but I think this will be way better. I actually just got my SAT scores yesterday - 2280 composite.</p>
<p>what classes are available for the SAMS program?</p>
<p>Calc, english, SAT prep, Engineering or Science Projects...</p>
<p>what do they mean by engineering or science projects? like actual research?</p>
<p>^No, not actual independent research. Some of the different areas available have preset experiments you carry out, while others give you quite a bit of freedom in choosing what you would like to do.</p>
<p>My D applied to CMU SAMs program for Summer 2009. Is anyone applying from the Washington Metro area? Did anyone enroll in the Science and Math program last summer?</p>
<p>idk if i should call them…them being carnegie mellon b/c i kinda need to know about how i’m standing in the music sector pool of applicants since i need to give my reply to other programs…><</p>
<p>So I’m applying for theatre…not SAMS or AP/EA or anything. I kinda feel like an outcast. But let me know when any of you get your letters! They say May 1st, but…</p>
<p>well they mailed the letters on wednesday/thursday…but i didn’t get one yet. did anybody get one yet?</p>
<p>i got accepted to apea; the letter was in the mail today. but then again, i live near pittsburgh.</p>
