Official Class of 2022 Applicants Discussion Thread

Hello all, as my screen name suggests I am currently in the School of Computer Science here at Carnegie Mellon University. I saw that there was no dedicated thread for you guys and ED applications are due soon, so a lot of you guys will be hanging out in that fun time in between submission and decision time. If you want any advice or well wishes I am free to give them, I know the wait can be murderous from first hand experience. Anyways, this thread is for anything you guys want to discuss

Can you chance me?

How is joining frats at CMU?

Thanks for this thread.

My daughter’s application is pretty much done except for ZeeMee- I’ve been worrying about the ZeeMee option on the application and wondering if it’s necessary, whether most others are doing it or not doing it for CMU, and how much it affects the decision. Does anyone have any advice?

Hey guys! just submitted my ED application for School of Architecture. Im so relieved!! Hoping for the best [-O<

Have any of you submitted your app yet? does anyone know how long it takes the office to process it?

thanks so much for creating this. sent in ED apps for the school of design yesterday and hopefully it’s all marked on time :’)

Those who submitted the application, did you get the access to their portal?

are you referring to the “where am I in the process” thing? If so, no. I’ve put in my info but it just comes back with an error message

My daughter is able to access the “Where I am” page but there was no email sent frm CMU. Anyone in the same situation?

My son has submitted his application ED for the School of Art. Common App and all supplements are in. He had a “Hometown Interview” and will be flying in to do his Portfolio Review on Nov 12th.

He is able to access his “Where am I in the process” page.

Im able to access it now. Seems like it just takes a few days for the office to process it and put you into their system.

I took the ACT with writing twice and sent both of them, but my writing score didn’t show up on the where am i page. Also, they didn’t post my higher ACT score. Anyone else have the same issue?

CMU does not look at writing score or SAT essay score. Ours was not posted too. But they should list the higher ACT score. Email them and ask.

I applied ED a few weeks ago and am very anxious! I think I should be admitted but I am far from a sure thing

Anyone else apply ED to SCS? Stats?

@music011
I did. Good luck to you.
My stats are good, nothing special. White female, 4.3, lotsa AP’s, 36 ACT, doing research right now.
Yours?

Hopefully all my ED materials are on time! Anyone else applying ECE? Does decision start rolling out on 10th or 15th

@Samaritans Apparently they’ll email us the week of with the exact date & time.

Best of luck to anyone else applying!

Did anyone receive a letter from the Dean of Admission about hoping that you would seriously consider CMU? I interviewed on-campus a few weeks ago…not sure if the letter means anything. Begins with “Thank you for your recent interview”, ends with "I hope you will seriously consider the opportunities that exist here at CMU. We look forward to…"Is this something they send out to any who interviews?
