I applied to MCS and H&SS, with MCS as #1 choice in the supplement. I was accepted to both MCS and H&SS, and also offered to take part in the SHS program. I mentioned my interest in the program in my supplement essay since I’m pretty much undecided and fairly well rounded (listed “General MCS” and “General H&SS” as majors for each college). From what I can gather it lets you have a more diverse learning experience at CMU and clusters you with other students of the same program.

Also, this is more directed at VBlast2, since he/she seems to attend CMU currently:

Do you know anything about the Quantitative Social Sciences Scholars Program (QSSS)? I was also invited to join this program in addition to SHS, and they both seem to be interdisciplinary, so I’m not sure which one to pick if I attend CMU.
