SAMS at Carnegie Mellon 2019-2020 Discussion

I didn’t get an email when my decision (acceptance) was released. I had also not been asked questions by Diane. Just check your portal, maybe your decision will be randomly posted.

wait so @CavsFan2003 how did you know you got in? Did they post that on your portal?

Applied and last reference in on 2/6 but no word yet. Nothing noted in the portal. Not sure what that means.

@AlbieCoolGuy Yeah, I had a status update on my portal.

is the portal just the place we applied from? because i’ve had some other summer programs where your admission decisions are released on a different portal than the place you applied at.

It’s been over a month and I haven’t gotten a decision… I emailed Diane on Monday but I’ve gotten no response either…

I got rejected 2 days ago and it said "Thank you for the opportunity to consider your application for admission to the Carnegie Mellon Summer Pre-College Program. Our committee has carefully reviewed your application and supporting credentials. Despite your fine record and accomplishments, we are unfortunately unable to offer you a spot in the program. We would like to emphasize that this decision is a reflection of the considerable number of applications we received this year, as well as the enrollment limitations of our summer programs.

We appreciate your interest in Carnegie Mellon’s Pre-College program and wish you all the best." And my stats were not the best but I had great essays.

where are you guys checking for results? is it the place where you turned the application in?

@bluehuman Yes, same spot you submitted.

My kiddo rejected too. Poor thing.

@CavsFan2003 thank you! also, congratulations on getting in!! that is quite a feat

someone pm me the groupchat link please

Has anyone recently received notification of acceptance or rejection? I’m still waiting anxiously but if no one who submitted after 2/17 has gotten a response then there’s no point of me stressing.

im so nervous i just want to be rejected and get it over w
i applied on 2/18 and haven’t gotten a decision back but i think that’s the case for everyone who applied around that time

I just made this account right now, but can someone pm me the link to the groupchat.
I haven’t checked my email in a while and I got my decision today. :slight_smile:

I submitted on 2/14 and I got my decision back either today or yesterday. You will probably get yours sometime this week.

Did you get it via email or in your account?

I turned in my application on March 1, but my final rec letter got turned in on the 7th. Anyone else receive decision yet if applied by that date?

Do they send an email to you for results?

Loll f, they aren’t sending any more decisions until they figure out whether or not the program is going to be cancelled or not cuz of corona
