<p>i called today, but she said decisions hadn’t been made for me yet, so i guess they made some decisions…</p>
<p>Drats, they closed at 5.</p>
<p>I called at 4:50 and they said they were still going through admissions</p>
<p>hey marcusfenix when did you send in your app?</p>
<p>Ages ago - I thought the deadline was March 1, not March 31. I didn’t have a copy of my January SAT scores though, so I mailed them when I got them a few weeks ago.</p>
<p>Now I just have to hope that I make it off the SSP waitlist.</p>
<p>is this program need-based or merit-based?
do they give you admission if your family makes less money or is it only based on how good your resume is?</p>
<p>It’s a free program, so I would assume that money wouldn’t be an issue.</p>
<p>yea, because it is a free program, would they prefer lower-income students over others? assuming both have the same stats</p>
<p>Oh i see what you are saying. Since this is a “diversity” program, I think it’s their way of saying “come here academically gifted kid with a tough background”</p>
<p>so people w/o “tough backgrounds” are at a disadvantage?</p>
<p>i think that’s how most summer programs that are cost-free work…</p>
<p>Do you guys think the admissions office is gonna be open tomorrow since its easter monday? i’m kind of scared/excited to find out but i sent my application about 3/4 weeks ago so i don’t know if they got to mine yet</p>
<p>i sent mine 2/3 weeks ago and they didn’t get to it, yet…do u think that’s what they say if u got rejected or something?</p>
<p>hey, do you guys mind posting your stats and what you applied for? i applied for SAMS</p>
<p>applying to sams

I sent mine in 2/3 weeks ago.
I think it’s kind of hard to chance b/c they probably look more at your essays than at your stats…</p>
<p>did anybody else call and actually get a response? like decision made?</p>
<p>I called, they said the tentative date is may 1st</p>
<p>I do hope that is the date because all of the College Now Programs (new York) have deadlines around May 15th and those are basically first come first served so I hope I get a response from CMU before I apply to any of those.</p>
<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I’m debating between Philosophy and Calc (differentiation and integration). I have my other course, Concepts in Math, already decided. So between Philosophy and Calc which do you guys think is better? Does anyone have experience between the two? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Do you mean AP philosophy and AP calculus?</p>
