<p>why is HSS giving out regular results faster than MCS >< heresy! lol</p>
<p>I found that my decision letter link button was away. Anyone found this? Now I could only see my financial aid award letter.</p>
<p>Yep, the link is gone on my son’s page as well. They are wrapping up admissions for the fall – they have their class in place.</p>
<p>Can someone confirm this?</p>
<p>Nobody is here…</p>
<p>my son’s “Admission Decision Letter” button is still there and click-able. However, they replaced the original “wait list” letter with a letter that states they have filled their class of 2016. They state that they still do take some students from the wait list during the summer and that if you wish to remain in consideration, you need to send the small form to them (the bottom portion of the letter). Time to move on…</p>
<p>Not admitted LOL</p>
<p>busdriver11: When my S applied for CMU this year (2013), he took your suggestion. He applied to SCS, engineering, and MCS. He gets acceptance into the MCS majoring in math, and waitlist for both SCS and engineering. He loves CS and ECE in addition to math. Now I have question about the double major or the transfer to SCS. What’s the chance to have the double majors like CS and math (or ECE)? What’s the transfer rate to SCS from math? Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>stevenj, congratulations to your son! That is great, it must have been a very tough year to get into CMU, he must be excited. So perhaps some current CMU students can answer your questions better than I, and there are some posts on current threads that talk about those questions also. But I can tell you info that was passed to me by my son. I hope that someone on here will correct me if this is bad information</p>
<p>Math is a very good double major with CS, many common requirements. ECE and CS both are extremely tough majors, with different weeder courses, so it may be hard to double major that in four years, but I’m sure that some people do it. I don’t have any idea what the transfer rate is to SCS from any major, and I don’t know that they publish those stats. But my son did talk to someone way up there in the CS dept, and it sounded like he just had to get a decent grade in some of the weeder CS courses, and they’d allow him to transfer into the department. Though one can always get a CS degree as an “additional major” without getting accepting into the department. The only difficulty with that is you get less priority for getting into CS classes than kids in SCS, but you can always talk to the professor and people generally drop some classes. Supposedly not difficult to get into upper level classes.</p>
<p>My son started out doing Logic and Computation, with an additional major in CS, as he really only wanted the CS major but didn’t get into SCS. Decided he didn’t care for the original major, changed it to double major Econ/CS. Decided he had too many extracurriculars to take all the classes for CS, got a Econ major/CS minor. Got the high paying software engineering job anyways, with just the CS minor and some tech internships. Believe me, the CMU name, and the huge number of recruiters on campus is a fantastic advantage. Says he should have gotten a major in IS (probably with a minor in CS), because IS is very flexible as far as curriculum.</p>
