New Members of CMU Class of 2011 - SCS

<p>kctwister, why do you want to go to Penn instead of CMU for CS? It's ranked much lower than CMU. Atmosphere? Business program? I'd like to know.</p>

<p>im accepted to SCS class of 11'</p>

<p>Anyone else NOT hear yet? Not on the website, not by mail, not by email. Nothing, nada. I'm assuming this means denied but it sure would be nice to know.</p>

<p>at this point, I would suggest calling them to see what's up.</p>

<p>I asked Jacobo, the freshmen advisor, and he told me that 25% who got into SCS does not have prior programming experience. I use Pascal and C, and I'm thinking of learning Java in the summer. I'm mostly involved with math and programming contests.
btw, which house and meal plan did u choose? I'm still struggling between meal value and flexibility.</p>

<p>Mathson got in. He's got lots of programming experience. Took the AP as a freshman, and has done freelance work, some for a firm that does websites, and some for research scientists. Everyone we talked to at CMU said to buy the cheapest plan with the most flexdollars.</p>

<p>yay! i'm in. :)</p>

<p>meal plans -> get as few blocks as you can + as many dinex as you can.</p>

<p>Anyone know what Jacobo is like? He was very quiet at the April sleeping bag weekend. The current freshman adviser's personality came through loud and clear, I was a little disappointed not to get any sense what his successor was going to be like.</p>

<p>hey guys i got admitted to ECE in CIT, but i want to transfer from ECE to SCS. is this easy.or will i fase tough competiotion.and should ther b a slot vacancy or me to to transfer??</p>
