@ymehkri Students who have submitted their enrollment deposit are issued an Andrew account and will receive an email providing password info within a week of submission.
@azoldtech Loan forms will become available on June 15. Class registration varies by academic program but it seems like all colleges will be contacting incoming freshmen during mid-June to begin the registration process.
Thank you @MandomeLife
is there a class of 2020 fb page??? like the one where you have to be accepted by invite
It’s a closed group called “Carnegie Mellon University Class of 2020” and has 2284 members
how can you get guys access the housing site? It asks for Andrew ID, but I can’t have access to one yet.
@KloudKoder I went on https://www.cmu.edu/housing/
Does anyone else’s “Student Tax Return” get a daily status update on Where Am I?
Just curious, do you receive decisions from all of your college preferences? Even when you are already accepted to your first preference?
@idkName Yes – my initial letter explicitly stated which colleges accepted me and which rejected me. After I submitted my enrollment deposit, my admissions letter updated and only my acceptance to the college I committed to.
Weird, mine only showed my acceptance to my first choice. Whatever, first choice is first choice so it doesn’t matter either way.
My son was accepted and paid deposit already.
Does the deposit for enrollment count as SIR?
Or is there another column to state it?
Thanks In Advance.
does anyone know how easy or hard it is to change roomates. I don’t want to end up spending a year with a kid I really don’t like, if I end up getting assigned one.
@ymehkri Anecdotally, my Turn Tartan Overnight host was the only person in her double because her roommate moved out, so it’s definitely possible! If you’re in the facebook group, you might have seen that one of the current students said that the survey wasn’t very good, so maybe try your hand at the C/O 2020 roommate selection facebook group!
My admissions decision letter has been removed from my Where Am I page. Anyone still have their’s up?
@MandomeLife Still there.
Mine is gone too
Why is CMU’s SCS yield rate so low? it says 548 admitted, 123 enrolled at https://admission.enrollment.cmu.edu/pages/school-of-computer-science. I expect SCS to have higher yield rate than university’s average, not lower. That means over 75% of the student turn down one of the best CS school in the nation. Why? Am i reading the stats wrong?
That is interesting. I see MCS’s yield is even lower:
6684 APPLICATIONS, 1312 ADMITTED, 227 ENROLLED
If I had to guess the possible reasons:
CMU makes it easy to apply to multiple schools, so if a kid checks off SCS, CIT, and MCS, AND gets admitted to all three, they can only attend one so the other two will automatically appear as declines.
in this day of kids sending lots of apps via the Common App, probably a lot of those accepted kids are opting for other prestigious schools like MIT, Ivies, Stanford, CalTech, etc. Note that approximately 25% of the SCS acceptances had perfect SAT 2400, and the average ACT was 35. These are superstar applicants who probably have lots of choices.
But you got accepted @idkName ! You have an opportunity of a lifetime and I suggest you don’t dwell on why other kids might decline.
Many top stat kids would prefer overall school environment/strength and brand name than just CS major strength, but they applied CMU anyway for its CS. That’s why its yield is low.
If you check the web site again, the yield is 43%. The data was wrong yesterday.
