New Members of CMU Class of 2011 - SCS

<p>Anybody? :)</p>

<p>i guess nobody got admitted, that competitive eh? ha ha ha</p>

<p>i know one kid from my hs got in, but im not sure if he's on CC...</p>

<p>though CS is the most competitive department (besides CFA, probably) in CMU, it is not that competitive compared to powerhouses like MIT/Stanford - lots of my peers came here because they got rejected from those schools.</p>

<p>it's not that competitive for girls!!
but then I guess that's cause they don't apply anyways...</p>

<p>I'm CS 2009...</p>

<p>We're better for CS majors that don't like engineering but like discrete math.</p>

<p>I'm going to SCS too!</p>

<p>Im accepted to SCS class of '11. congrats to all who got in.</p>

<p>man i got waitlisted, sighhhhh!</p>

<p>My son was accepted into SCS!</p>

<p>waitlisted :-/ </p>

<p>Into CIT, though - maybe I'll accept for CE and try to get in at a later point...</p>

<p>Everyone accepted, join the Carnegie</a> Mellon SCS Class of '11 facebook group!</p>

<p>(No, I didn't start it, just thought I'd try to expand it a bit, lol).</p>

<p>The ECE curriculum is so flexible that it allows you to graduate with a BS taking only a minimum of EE classes (only 4 actually, plus the compulsory math/science core). You can take all other required courses then exclusively in CE. Due to the large number of electives, it's also easy to add a CS minor to your diploma. When making your decision, keep in mind CMU's CE is ranked # 3 in the country by USN&WR.</p>

<p>I'm in! I'm in! I'm so excited... and surprised
^_^ YAY!</p>

<p>Anyone in the SCS class of '11 admitees got any particualer interests/languages that they write in?
I am fluent(if you will) in C and Perl, as well as having dabbled in C++ and a couple others.
I am very interested in robotics and AI, and have built and programmed several robots.
I am also currently working closely with the world's second largest supercomputer in Red Storm at Sandia Labs here in albuquerque as a student intern, although mostly with the data storage system.</p>

<p>anybody else?</p>

<p>wow, Sandia, that's pretty awesome... I've worked most with Java, so that's at least what I'm most comfortable with... also some C and C++....</p>

<p>i'm in!, not sure if im going still waiting on penn. i'm fluent in C++</p>

<p>How were you all notified about the decision (accepted/rejected or waitlisted)? By mail or website?</p>

<p>website...</p>

<p>I know Bourne Shell, C/C++, HTML, Java, JSP/Servlets, Perl/PHP, SQL, and PL/SQL (through classes), but currently I'm learning Javascript and AJAX in general on my own.</p>

<p>I've helped to build and program a few robots (mostly through FIRST), had an internship in the IT department of a large (billion dollar) software company, and done various tech projects for teachers. Nothing like Sandia Labs though.</p>

<p>website yesterday, didnt get anything in the mail till today</p>
