Are the first two days of orientation super important?
Would I be missing traditions?
Or would this cause some issues as a student?
I may have a really amazing opportunity the first two days of orientation if I end up going to CMU, I would really like to attend both the opportunity and CMU.
I just realized I would miss the whole orientation… No bueno. RIP amazing opportunity.
CMU will accommodate your absence if it’s non-negotiable. You would have to make arrangements with housing, your academic department, and faculty in order to move in smoothly and catch up with the information you’ll receive during Orientation.
I was offered the same opportunity in California rather than London with different dates! At least I can still participate even if I don’t get to go to the international version of the program. You win some you lose some @MadomeLife
Glad to hear you could attend if you decide to matriculate. CMU Orientation is one of the best in the nation.
