Summer Academy for Math and Science (SAMS) & AP/EA @ Carnegie-Mellon?

<p>i think I signed up for an english one and nanoscience. The other sciences were either too focused or AP style. I do hope that I can switch classes.</p>

<p>I honestly think they only asked for them on the apps so they could get a feel for what kind of students were applying. I'm sure if we get in (super knock on wood) they won't hold us to those specific courses.</p>

<p>When do results for the APEA (precollege, not the free one) come out?</p>

<p>Is it rolling admissions? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>For the not free one I think it could be any time now. I called them about it and they said they begin making decisions last week so you can call and find out if yours has been made. I called and they still havent gotten to mine yet.</p>

<p>And do they tell you about their decision by snail mail or email?</p>

<p>They ll send snail mail but once they make the decision i believe we can find out through the phone.</p>

<p>I just called them and I ve been accepted to ap/ea and game academy.</p>

<p>WAIT WAIT WAIT... hold up. </p>

<p>APEA</a> - Fees & Requirements - Carnegie Mellon Summer Programs for Diversity
AP/EA</a> Courses - Fees & Requirements - Carnegie Mellon offers Courses for College Credit</p>

<p>What is the difference? It says the Pre-college AP/EA costs money but the Summer Programs for Diversity AP/EA doesn't cost money. Why is this? Aren't they the same program?</p>

<p>wow, they've already decided? i just sent mine today, kinda late i know, but i just found out about it a few weeks ago. i'm super nervous. i really want to go to this, along with the thousands of other applicants lol :D</p>

<p>hey could anybody chance me?

<p>I thought there was the possibility of attending AP/EA free? Now I can't find anything but the $7,000+ program! Anybody with info?</p>

<p>There is a paid AP/EA program and a free diversity program. You need to get to the right web page to see the free program.</p>

<p>thanks brownboy :)</p>

<p>i'm excited to know whether i made it lol
do they send a confirmation once they get your app? i think the website said they would.</p>

<p>they sent a postcard with a checklist for what they have recieved. The one I got only had a couple things checked off even though I sent in everything. I called and they actually had everything.</p>

<p>The results for the diversity program won't come out until early - mid may..such a long wait.</p>

<p>hmm I haven’t gotten a postcard for confirmation of my materials, but I sent it in on the first “deadline”. Should I call them to ask if they actually got my stuff? It seems like most people got a postcard a while ago…</p>

<p>I didn’t get a postcard either but I e-mailed to check on my application- turns out they got it. I suggest you e-mail them.</p>

<p>I didn’t get a postcard either, and I called them to confirm. I really wanted to ask if they made their decision yet but I figured it would be rather awkward to find out on the phone…</p>
