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

@peachActuary73 No problem! Congrats to your daughter!!

Also, although it’s not SAMS, as of ten minutes, I have been accepted to the National Youth Science Camp! A summer program for seniors. Only two people are selected from each state and I’m super excited to be one of them. A friend of mine from SAMS is going, so I definitely can’t wait!

1.) @ak2018 could you give an example of an average daily schedule for a student in the SAMS program?

2.) has anyone made a GroupMe/ any type of group chat for those who have been accepted? If so, can I be added? And if not, we should make one lol

I just checked out AI4All’s website (sponsoring CMU’s AI program). Some of the summer programs it hosts, such as BU, request that only young high school girls apply. Will that impact me in any way? I’m male btw

Hey so I called and was told there hasn’t been a decision made on my app. Would it be worth it to add an updated resume, I’ve been working on a lot of new things these last couple of months.

@stephbin You were added to the GC and there is a daily schedule in there.

@MyGPAIsAnL It should not. I checked that same website and you should be fine.

@JustBlur15 You may go ahead and do so. I’d recommend it.

Hey! I submitted my application mid-February and still haven’t heard back. My first choice was the Artificial Intelligence Program. I also applied through the diversity and inclusion track because I was previously unaware that there a was paying track. I am an Asian girl from an upper-middle-class family. Do you think I still have a chance??

@bakingqueen17 Yes, you still do.

To those who haven’t had any emails about whether they’ve been accepted or not, emails will supposedly be sent out tmr. Best of luck to everyone!

@malfoy7 Yeah I’m not sure if they apply to those going to AI, but we’ll have to see. No one here has gotten into AI yet

@malfoy7 While I hope you’re right, I feel like this was said earlier in the thread and my hopes aren’t too high. Fingers crossed!

So nervous rn, no email yet - 8:51 Est

Remember, these likely won’t be the last notifications. You still have at most 3 more weeks.

I just thought of the possibility that the people in the AI program won’t be in the directory? Since it is mainly an AI4All thing that’s running the program and CMU hosting it?

I called admissions results for SAMs and AP/EA aren’t being released today…she said hopefully next week

Btw, AI4All states that they hope to have 175+ students in the program, including several other colleges

Haven’t heard for the longest time and I submitted back at the end of December. Lol i’ll just take my L

Do the Computer Science and STEM SAMS programs overlap or are there separate admissions for the two? I’ve been reading that there’re a lot of people accepted into SAMS but I remember choosing CS or STEM in the application and was confused.

@catpls ? I know there is an AP/EA CS and AI but SAMS is its own thing I believe

@catpls They are two separate programs. I believe that info was used to figure out what your prospective major is.

Does this mean there is not a set date for decisions? I applied to AI and SAMS.
