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

<p>I think I’m doing mine this weekend. Again, just extremely unmotivated. I should put that in the paper so they have to pick me.</p>

<p>@schachwhiz Apply through the Summer Programs for Diversity program like you planned. The worst they can do is say no. I’m an upper middle class kid and I got the scholarship for AP/EA. It was an amazing summer!! And also apply to the other programs as well. You never know what will happen.</p>

<p>WOOHOO! Finished my essays! Just a few more things and then I’m DONE!</p>

<p>Hi! I’m currently a white female sophomore wanting to go into chemE at CMU and was interested in the SAMS program? What do u think are my chances?
PSAT
Math 62
CR 58
WR 62</p>

<p>Class President… tons of programs and leadership stuff
Lots of Service hours
Both Teacher recs say best student ever taught
Essays will be good have won numerous essay contests
Started AP Program at my school</p>

<p>@Xxali1096xX: Your PSAT scores kind of low, but you seem to have great extracurriculars, so I would say as good a chance as any of us. Good luck! (From another female sophomore)</p>

<p>One more essay and I’m getting my last teacher Rec tomorrow! Ah! It’s like it’s really happening!</p>

<p>Do they want us to give our most recent fed. income tax return? I don’t think they said it on the application site but wouldn’t it make sense because during the online application they asked us what our estimated income was?</p>

<p>They didn’t ask for it so don’t give it.
In other news, all my stuff is in! Ah! Let the nail biting commence!</p>

<p>G’luck, everyone!</p>

<p>I sent my app in, but I accidentally sent it to the general CMU address, not the address with the Pre-College admissions heading. Will it be redirected properly?
I’m so nervous; it would suck if my hours of work were wasted because of a stupid mistake/</p>

<p>haha I might be overreacting but I’m really not sure whether it will get to the right place.</p>

<p>bump 10char</p>

<p>Asian male soph- applied.</p>

<p>Any news on decision dates?</p>

<p>Any decisions yet??</p>

<p>yeah a girl from texas was admitted into AP/EA.</p>

<p>i think if you call they will have your results ready</p>

<p>Accepted into sams!!!</p>

<p>xali1096xx grats~!! ive also applied for SAMS and im still waiting
do they send the notifications to all the accepted kids at the same day?
can you briefly list ur stats? im rly curious thx</p>

<p>Don’t worry they just sent them out I live about 30 mins out of Pittsburgh so I could have gotten it the same day. I’m sure you’ll get yours soon. If your dying to know just call admissions and they let you know. And as for the stats:
Female
Caucasian
700 math
600 cr
600 w
Wrote my essays on wanting to go to Carnegie Mellon
4.0 GPA with honors

Teacher recs were reallyy good
I do alot of service and am class president and in 6 clubs
Tons of leadership awards
Wrote letter to school board and now my school is getting AP Classes</p>

<p>I’m soo excited:D I thought I would have trouble with the diversity because I’m not an urm. Goodluck:D</p>

<p>Wait, do u mean they just started sending out the notifications? starting today?
Im an Asian (as u can see Asians arent urm either)</p>

<p>my sat scores r 660 (CR), 780 (M), 670 (W)
my gpa is pretty decent
im not sure if the gpa rly matters a lot for me since I only have a junior year gpa (cuz i came here last year)
Im in Ap calc bc, physics, chem (all solid As)
I took 5th place in a physics state test ( btw i live in Jersey)
I won a governor’s award for taking 2nd place in the state in a national math contest
and I have a few more contest awards
and i just volunteer in a nearby nursing home, and participate in few clubs like math and physics club</p>

<p>as u can see i dont rly have “fantastic” ECs becuz i as i said above I moved here recently</p>

<p>and i think my recommendations were great, and my essays… not rly sure (jus wish it didnt sound awkward)</p>

<p>u think i have a fair chance of getting in?
i rly want to know whether im accepted or rejected b/c if im rejected i have to look for other programs</p>

<p>You probably got in… My stats aren’t as good as yours but I got into the AP/EA program.</p>

<p>O wait, do u get letters? or e-mails? just understood what xxali said above. I though it was an e-mail.
As I posted above I thought I would have got a letter whether I got in or not by this week b/c I have to apply for other ones if I get rejected, and I think most of the deadlines are mid May lol</p>
