<p>I'm not sure. All I can think about is how I haven't gotten a response. I had a meeting with my counselor today. It looks like, as the information right now shows, I cannot take both AP Stats and AP Calc BC (same spot in schedule). I'd like to replace AP Stats with AP CS A (school doesn't offer AB, but I'll self-study up to it) but I need Java experience...</p>
<p>Should I just call CMU?</p>
<p>Yes, or ask your guidance counselor to call.</p>
<p>Call, but if you don't get information the first time, keep calling. The first time my dad called they told him I didn't exsist in their system. However, they had cashed the check. So, just keep calling until you get someone who can actually find you in the system.</p>
<p>Good luck! The whole money in by June 1st thing is bad for those of us who are just finding out now.</p>
<p>Thanks, I will soon...</p>
<p>i was just accepted into art! yay! after multiple phone calls and cmu being weird and telling me i didn't send anything, i got in.</p>
<p>see you all. well, I'm only part time, I live in pittsburgh! but cmu is great!</p>
<p>Any news, diginetgod? </p>
<p>Congrats, Jilldanielle! I hope to see you there, even though I'm in APEA!</p>
<p>I'm calling on Tuesday, after memorial day, when I can actually reach the office.
Since payments are due by June 6th, I expect to receive a response soon, whether through the mail or otherwise.</p>
<p>Diginetgod, just keep bugging them. Eventually you will get someone who isn't entirely incapable of finding you in the system. Don't worry if it doesn't work the first time.</p>
<p>I called today, and I apparently was accepted May 23rd (woot), so I should receive something in the mail VERY SOON. Yay! So excited. I literally was jumping up and down. </p>
<p>Hopefully my dad can scrape together $7,000 before June 6th, since I'll be taking two courses while staying in a dorm. </p>
<p>Does anyone know of someone who took a third course? Just curious.</p>
<p>Guess I'll be seeing you three (hopefully) :)</p>
<p>Congrats!</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm concerned about my parents getting three thousand together. Actually, its b/c of my family's finances that I'm only taking one course.</p>
<p>Oh, and I decided to take The Nature of Language instead.</p>
<p>Not science based, but a GREAT course nonetheless. Whee. Hope to see you there!
I have a mini-fan that attaches to a shelf, bed, or stand and can stand alone, so I'll be able to withstand those vicious Pittsburgh summers. Bring a fan! (or two, or three...)
Should I bring a desktop, laptop, or nothing (keep in mind that BOTH of my courses are computer-related - programming and engineering)?</p>
<p>Well, I'm bringing my laptop, but mostly b/c I can't live w/o it.
Thank god I'm staying w/ my grandparents, who do have AC.
Hope to see you!</p>
<p>I'm bringing a laptop. I can't live without mine either. Seriously, I think I'd have intense withdrawals or something ;)
A fan... good idea. I should bring one, so that I don't die from the heat.</p>
<p>Even if I could live w/o my laptop, my friends are kinda forcing me to talk to them all summer. I don't have a choice.</p>
<p>Actually, they're just worried I won't survive or something. Not sure why.</p>
<p>Hahaha. We'll all survive... hopefully. xD My parents worry a lot about me, as usual.</p>
<p>My parents are worried, but its nothing compared to my friends. At least my boyfriend gets it. He knows I'll be fine.</p>
<p>Parents get naturally worried when they can't supervise their child and send him/her off to far away places. My dad asked me to call him every night. Hopefully he'll be satisfied with a short messge or email.</p>
<p>My parents will definitely be bugging me constantly.</p>
<p>Where are you guys from, anyway? I'm from Michigan, just outside of Detroit. But as I've said, my grandparents live near Pittsburgh and I'm staying w/ them.</p>
<p>I'm from CA. </p>
<p>My parents want me to email them EVERY night. Amazing...
I think I'll email them every 3 days instead. Haha.</p>
<p>I've been away every summer at places like this, so my parents are used to it. But, I've got a pretty close relationship to them, so over the summer I usually try to call every night before I head off to bed - just to give them a quick recap of the day. Mostly because neither of them went to camp, so I know that everything I'm doing is much more exciting for them than for me.
It also keeps them updated so they don't worry about me.</p>
