CMU Class of 2020 Facebook Group

Colleges and Universities A-Z Carnegie Mellon University

Hey everyone!

This is super exciting time for everyone! I remember this time two years ago! My name is Josh, and I’m a current Sophomore doing an ECE/CS double major. I’m part of CMU Greek life, and a 15-112 TA and well as an HCII research assistant! If you have any questions about the school, please let me know! Some of may you may recognize me from last year as the guy who made the 2019 group, and I’m here for the same reason this year!

If you are accepted (or even if you aren’t but plan on doing RD), please join the CMU 2020 FB group! As in past years, many current students will be here to answer your questions and guide you through your journey until you get here. The group was honestly one of the most useful things for me two years ago. Especially being ED, I met tons of people who I am still really close friends with today. As the year progresses and certain due dates arrive for various documents, scheduling, etc, we will be there to help. Orientation week will come before you know it!

The group is called “Carnegie Mellon University Class of 2020”, and the banner is a picture of Hunt Library (cuz, why not?). This is the group where all of the current and future CMU students will be.

Unfortunately, there are a few similar spam groups created by people who are not affiliated with CMU, including some college websites. In particular, there is a group with ~600 people in it right now that goes by the same name (and has a different group photo). Please be sure NOT to join those groups. If you have trouble finding the correct group, please message me.

Also, if you have any friends who aren’t on CC who you know have been accepted, please tell them to join!

Thanks, and good luck in a few hours! I can’t wait to meet some of you! Let me know if you have any questions!

Note: One way to tell if you are joining the correct group is to hover over the current members - it should say for most if not all of us that we currently attend CMU :slight_smile:

3

Erm, is it supposed to be like? Or are we supposed to actually join? Would you mind putting a link?

4

I don’t believe CC allows posting links. You should join if you get accepted ED tonight, or plan on applying RD and have any questions. The group banner is a picture of Hunt library at night, should be pretty easy to find.

Ah, okay. I was looking at the one that had people in the shape of the letters CMU.

6

Yep, that’s the spam one! Not sure why people are bent on doing that every year, it just confuses people.

7

I guess some people just like to watch the world burn.

8

I joined the group, if I get denied tonight, I guess I will leave.

9

Or you could do RD :slight_smile:

10

Wait… you can apply again?

11

Yes! If you don’t get in ED, you can apply to up to 3 other schools RD (just not the school that you didn’t get in ED). If you were to do that, you could still transfer into the other school later though.

Bump :slight_smile:
