<p>it's definitely true... but I guess since no one else on this board has said anything, it seems weird.. she was giong ot go to emory, and now she's reconsidering wtih NU's offer... I wonder when the rest will come out...</p>
<p>I'm on the waitlist from Weinberg and have actively tried to get off my updating the adcoms with my recent accomplishments in high school and recommendation letters, but still haven't received any word yet. I'm really anxious and waiting for some word.</p>
<p>Umm, yea..CMU is a great school, especially for your major. However, Pittsburgh is rather a dead city...especially if yr used to a big city (i'm from la, and spent the summer there, so it was definitely a change of pace). I was there for musical theatre lol....quite far from your major; however, I had a great experience with all of my teachers. The faculty there is really nice. The food there is GOD AWFUL....its so bad, the dorms are not bad not great, and all of the people I met that went there complained that there was virtually no social life. I don't mean to bag on it at all, it has its ups and downs..but what you learn from all the opinnions that people have of the different colleges is just to take them with a grain of salt, and formulate your own once you get there. This just happens to be my experience with the school</p>
<p>Thanks for ur imput all smiles. </p>
<p>I'm from NYC so I know how you must've felt last summer, I get the same feeling everytime I leave the city. And I've heard about the bad food too. </p>
<p>Even with that I wanna go into CMU with an open mind, and hopefully some cooking skills.</p>
<p>haha, thats a great attitude to have. Also, u have to go to Pamela's, such amazing pancakes...they're insane</p>
<p>samcold, what school do you go to?</p>
<p>i'm from nyc too. if it helps, i get the impression that the dead-ness of pittsburgh doesn't apply so much to cmu.</p>
<p>i go to Midwood HS and hopefully ur right about CMU being exempt from the deadness of pittsburg.</p>
<p>today my best friend got in, it was amazing because we just had graudation! so excited... good luck to everyone else!</p>
<p>Did he get off Weinberg's list?</p>
<p>yeah they both are going now, i'm so excited!</p>
