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

<p>Yes. I am referring to the APEA program: “Differential and Integral Calculus” and “What Philosophy is”.</p>

<p>I would go with Calculus mainly because there is no AP philosophy exam that currently exists, so calculus would probably be more useful.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input. My goal in taken these courses is not for AP exams but rather because I am interested in them. Does anyone have experience taking either?</p>

<p>i had called yesterday and the woman said that because of the economy that their funding got cut in half soo for the SAMS program there will be about 20 applicants for the rising juniors and roughly 20 positions for the rising seniors. =|</p>

<p>That really sucks…is it only for SAMS or every program in the entire diversity program</p>

<p>ummm im not sure because i only asked about SAMS but i believe its the whole diversity program because the pre college programs are really expensive</p>

<p>Noooooo stupid effing economy has to be in a recession at the worst time too for people like me who are juniors right now =[</p>

<p>i know this is a really stupid question and off topic but what does “bump” mean</p>

<p>I WISH MAY WOULD COME ALREADY!!! has anyone gotten any results yet?</p>

<p>yeah i don’t get how those people before already have results, i called today and they say they will tell us at the end of next week.</p>

<p>what did you apply for?</p>

<p>i applied for both ap/ea(first choice) and SAMS</p>

<p>i think ppl who applied for the one where you pay already got their results.</p>

<p>so from what i hear, we should be getting our decisions by next week? i really hope so, because i just got an acceptance from my second choice summer program (SAMS is my first) and i need to confirm it by may 5 if i want to go…</p>

<p>has anybody called within the last couple days? i’m considering it, but i’m not sure if it’s worth it…</p>

<p>i called on monday and i applied in middle of febuary</p>

<p>Did they already make your acceptance decision when you called?</p>

<p>nope, they said they tell you next friday.</p>

<p>okay, thanks, i think i can wait until then :stuck_out_tongue:
good luck!</p>

<p>AAHHH the suspense is killing me! do any of you have any backup plans?</p>
