<p>I am a likely RD applicant for CMU this year and I was wondering which two colleges I should apply to given my interests? I would definitely like to study computer science but I know that the competition for the SCS is quite bloody. So as for my 2nd choice of college, I'm debating between Tepper & CIT. As far as I know, I want to become a businessman as well in the future with an edge in technology. Could I study Computer Science as a minor or something at either one of these colleges? Which one would you recommend?</p>
<p>CMU allows you to choose up to three school when you apply RD, and the decisions are made independent of each other. So, you may as well just apply for all three and see how it works out.</p>
<p>But don’t they only accept you to 1 of the colleges if any? For example if my list of preference was SCS -> Tepper -> CIT, is it possible that they reject me at SCS but accept me at Tepper and not even go to CIT? Or can they accept you for multiple colleges?</p>
<p>They can accept you at multiple colleges, and you can choose which one to enroll in, I believe.</p>
<p>In the fall of 2007 my S applied and was accepted to CIT, MCS, H&SS (now Dietrich). He chose CIT (ECE) and graduated 2012.</p>
<p>Thank you for the answers. Do the different colleges offer different aids? Also let’s say you get into both SCS / Tepper and you enroll in SCS. Are you still able to second major in something at Tepper instead of having to transfer since technically you got in there as well?</p>
<p>My son was accepted to SCS and CIT (ECE). Once he accepted the SCS offer of admission the CIT admission was listed as “cancelled” on the admissions portal.
You can still double major in another college without having to be accepted as long as you can get into all the courses you need in that college. That is sometimes hard schedule wise as majors get priority for some classes.<br>
Financial aid was one offer and not dependent on which college he chose.</p>
<p>Okay yea I knew there were priorities for some popular classes but I was wondering maybe getting accepted to that college as a freshman gives you some kind of a priority or something.</p>
