CMU 2010 Official Decision Thread

<p>D was accepted for CFA art.</p>

<p>Received the Andrew Carnegie scholarship. Half tuition for four years.</p>

<p>Wow, congrats!!!</p>

<p>m&sdad-</p>

<p>WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!</p>

<p>AcceptedAlready-</p>

<p>I just read your post about CMU Drama students. I burst out laughing!! You made my day.</p>

<p>My S is a CFA Acting major (junior), and yes he is very serious about his art. I guess you would have to be to carry 48-67 units a semester in your major. You pretty much live and breathe your art.</p>

<p>:) It was in no means condescending but we poke fun at the drama kids since they made a facebook group and the info was something like "We're the hottest and don't try to msg us 'cause we only date within our own college."</p>

<p>Then another facebook group was created called "Drama girls are f'ing crazy" and they responded with a group with the msg "We are crazy but we're hot and we dont' care!!".</p>

<p>Congrats to your son though! </p>

<p>PS: Drama girls are actually not that attractive :( which is why we found it funny.</p>

<p>Comments: yehs.</p>

<p>i applied for architecture but i haven't heard from them yet, too.</p>

<p>Hey, I got an 'accept' on my decisions page. That definitely means Ive been accepted right? If so, see you there :)</p>

<p>I got accepted into COO program I think, dunno what that means. Anyone?</p>

<p>YEAH!!!! THANK GOD!! I'm in at CIT! I was getting pretty tired of the rejections</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted to CIT</p>

<p>SAT: 760V, 750M, 660W (did it in January, CMU didn't take it into consideration)
SAT II: 800M2, 720Phy, 760Fr
TOEFL: 300
GPA: Unweighted at about 3.8-3.85 (our school uses a French system, and I have an average of 16.3-16.4)
Rank: In case rank was issued, it would be about 6/38</p>

<p>Location/Person:
Country: Lebanon
School type: International, French-system, Private
Ethnicity: Caucasian (Arab)
Gender: Male</p>

<p>Why I think I got accepted: Rank was lousy, and ECs weren't that spectacular, but the SATs were good and I wrote a pretty solid essay.
Comment: YEAH! But I still might not go</p>

<p>Yes, you've been accepted!</p>

<p>I have no idea what COO means. COO usually stands for Chief Operating Officer but that seems highly unlikely given the context :)</p>
