<p>Did they email you, send a paper letter, or call you?</p>
<p>I got rejected 
I was going to turn them down if i did get in but i thought i might actually be accepted, guess not. well good luck to everyone and for those of you who attend i hope you guys have lots of fun! :)</p>
<p>Did you get an email or letter or phone call, Star118? I still haven’t received anything except an email saying “It’s not to late to apply to CMU Pre-College!”</p>
<p>I got a rejection letter for this today… I didn’t even send in a supplemental pack (I got lazy lol) !!! Haha, it would have been awesome if I got in without having to do all of those essays and whatnot :)</p>
<p>chase: it’s a letter… at least for those who were rejected</p>

<p>@chaseholl:
Yeah I got that email too… I think it means rejection…:[ Why else would they offer other programs to us? Did anyone else get emails about CMU summer stuff NOT related to SAMS?</p>
<p>I got that email today, and frankly it makes me even more nervous. I just want my dang letter.</p>
<p>Whew, not the only one!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>To make money off your fears :P. Or, it’s just an automated computer system that spams all the e-mail addresses in their database. Either way, I don’t think it means rejection … yet. :/</p>
<p>Rejected, ah well.</p>
<p>I got the email as well…so I’m assuming I got rejected…:(</p>
<p>i was accepted!!</p>
<p>Oh…so does that mean if you got the email, you were rejected?
Or did you find out my mail?</p>
<p>I was accepted! 
Got my letter in the mail yesterday!</p>
<p>those of you who didn’t get in, always remember everything happens for a reason. i was rejected from MITES which led me to apply to SAMS those of you who did, CONGRATULATIONS and i hope to see you there :D</p>
<p>would anyone mind posting some stats (grades, extracurriculars, test scores, classes, etc) whether you were rejected OR accepted?</p>
<p>I’m so excited!</p>
<p>no, just becuase you received the email does not mean you were rejected. i received the email and was accepted. it is an automatic computer generated email to everyone on the admissions list or something.
my stats are: 29 ACT 4.2 GPA, 2nd in class, play violin, ballet, NHS, WYSE team, some volunteer stuff
class i currently take: H Chem, H pre-calc/calc, apush, H English, spanish 3, cons econ
on my essays i talk about why i like math, my engineering things i do etc.</p>
<p>everyone who was accepted should join the facebook group :)</p>
<p>anyone accepted and not planning to go?</p>
<p>i was rejected! congrats to all of you who got in.</p>
<p>I got the advertising email and was accepted! 
My stats aren’t that impressive, but I think I showed my passion pretty well, and my resume reflected the skills that I’ve gained independently outside of school.</p>
<ul>
<li>PSAT: 1790 (Lol…only took it once this year)</li>
<li>SAT score: 1780 (sent), but got a 1940 recently</li>
<li>Grades: All A’s except for a C+ in P.E. (yea…um…kind of embarrasing ^^) and a B in HPhysics that I later brought up to an A. </li>
<li>Current Classes: AP Chemistry, Molecular and Cellular Biology, AP Computer Science, Western Civilization, H Precalc, and Mentorship. (I took a lot of other interesting classes online before that’s reflected in my transcript) </li>
<li>School: NCSSM (it’s based on application too…so I think that may have helped me?)
AP’s: None :)</li>
<li>Extracurriculars: Annual AsiaFest Food Committee Member, Math Club, Women in Science and Engineering, Random Acts of Kindness, Art Club, pioneered the Writing Center at my home high school, and French Club.</li>
<li>Lots of Volunteering…like LOTS (I guess the most prominent one would be the NCSSM World Record Food Drive)</li>
<li>Also helped Chinese immigrant students adjust and learn English</li>
<li>Resume had lots of my technology skills and some work experience too</li>
<li>Personally I may not be the best from the Academic standpoint, but I feel like my other stuff compensates for that</li>
<li>I’m a first generation Asian, and my parents never graduated from high school. I was really passionate in both of my essays, and I’m glad my personality has gotten to them. ^_^</li>
</ul>
<p>I’m definitely attending, and I totally can’t wait! :D</p>
<p>I think one important lesson here for future applicants is to realize that SAMS does not weigh test scores very heavily at all, it seems–diversity and especially need was the impression I got from the rejection letter.</p>
