Carnegie Mellon Summer Academy for Math and Science (SAMS) and AP/EA 2018

@MyGPAIsAnL I have not heard of anyone getting an email and they weren’t in the directory.

@nontranslationalwog Also, I meant that it’s not true at this point. If you’re not on the list, it’s still possible, at least for a few more weeks.

@ak2018 I meant are there ppl who find out they get in from an email instead of finding themselves on the directory? Keep my hopes up :slight_smile:

@MyGPAIsAnL Yes, but those people likely didn’t know about the directory to begin with. If you get an email, you should already be in the directory. If you’re in the directory, you’ll eventually get an email.

Has anyone been accepted into AI? I’ve seen several people accepted into SAMS but nobody into the AI program.

I’ve been admitted to SAMS ! I got everything in on March14 AND idk really know anything else ? Also @ak2018 what’s a first pass email?

@scullyitsme There should be info in the group I added you to. Also, it’s the email that comes after the acceptance email. This will let you create your own temporary CMU email and account that they’ll email you through.

@ak2018 Congrats! It sucks when colleges don’t give enough aid… but studying abroad sounds awesome anyways.

@scullyitsme I thought you already got in?

Wait have all the acceptances been announced because I realized that the other email I received that said I was rejected was not for sams

@anonymous522083 Nope, not yet.

@ak2018 sorry to bother you again, but do you know all in all how many people participated precollege? An estimate is fine, I just want to get a sense of how many spots are still available

I got accepted into SAMS today!!!

@MyGPAIsAnL I could do a very rough estimate and say around no more than 700 kids in all of the pre-college. This includes kids who paid to go and got a full-tuition scholarship, so it’s still hard to estimate the spots. In terms of SAMS, it would be best to say that likely 40%-60% of SAMS spots have been filled by now. This is literally just me spit-balling a range as to account for those accepted here and those not on CC.

531 students have been accepted so far under “Summer Pre-College” looking at the directory. This means based on the 700 total estimate from @ak2018, that gives you 76.86% accepted overall. Hence using that percentage for SAMS out of 117 total about 89 kids have already been accepted and there are 28 spots left. These are just rough estimates based on available information so far. Good luck to all!

wait AI are not out yet right?

for the sams program do you take chemistry biology and physics or do you choose how does that work

@anonymous522083 You rank them, and then you only get to take one of those.

Are you sure I can’t take two because o would like to take chem and physics

@anonymous522083 You can’t take two.

D19 got in. We saw email right in the middle of Auburn tour. Super excited. Needs to decide if it’s this or internship. @ak2018 Thanks for your help.
