CMU SAMS 2017

I called earlier today, but I was sadly rejected from SAMS. The lady said my AP/EA still didn’t have a decision on it and that the SAMS program was full. I’ve learned my lesson, I should have submitted my stuff earlier so I would’ve had a better shot.

@ auotaytayy, I just called (412) 268-2000, introduced myself and asked them to direct me to the undergraduate admissions office. Then, I asked another lady(she was really nice) if my applications were reviewed, and she looked my name up in the system.

Has anybody received a rejection email after having the name in the CMU directory and receiving acceptance confirmation via phone? It looks like previous acceptances over the phone are being changed to rejections via email.

Rejected

@sertao did that happen to you?

rejected
1470 psat 34 act 3.9 uw gpa

@daffyduck414 called admissions and found that acceptance informed over the phone had been to AP/EA, so the rejection via email was for SAMS. Confirmation for AP/EA via email should come next week.

Has anyone been waitlisted? Is there even a waitlist?

@avocadojohn I’ve been waitlisted. I received an email today saying how space is very limited and how I’ve been placed on the waitlist and may or may not be removed off of it. It’s just a waiting game now I guess.

@daffyduck414 I hope you get accepted!

@avocadojohn thank you, that means a lot

Is anyone waiting for the email with AP/EA acceptance and next steps after confirming acceptance over the phone? For those who have received AP/EA acceptance email, how many days you have to confirm your attendance? Thanks.

@sertao I received my acceptance email for AP/EA yesterday.

Has anyone on the waiting list got accepted?

@blinky56 I know one person on CC got off the waitlist and turned the acceptance down due to an internship. So people are definitely getting off the waitlist.

So I got accepted but I’d rather not post my stats. My scores and gpa are lower than those that got rejected but I somehoww got in

@JNiceIce18 were you accepted off the waiting list?

What should I do? I haven’t received anything back from SAMS.

For everyone who’s freaking out about SAMS, a few more people I know have dropped their acceptances, so they are definitely choosing people from the wait-list this year. Don’t lose hope just yet.

@ak2018 , thank you for the update. Do you know when is the deadline for the accepted students to commit?
