@mkat2003 You have very good Stats. Chance for Sophomore is lower. When did you get your decision?
Hey guys- did anybody apply only to SAMS in the CMU pre-college program? If so, the scholarship consideration wouldnāt apply right? because SAMS is already free? So should I just not check it?
@highlighters Concepts is not like Calc. It is completely different. It isnāt hard just time consuming. Here is a description from CMU: This course introduces the basic concepts, ideas, and tools involved in doing mathematics. As such, its main focus is on presenting informal logic, and the methods of mathematical proof. These subjects are closely related to the application of mathematics in many areas, particularly computer science. Topics discussed include a basic introduction to elementary number theory, induction, the algebra of sets, equivalence relations, congruences, recurrence equations, and graph theory.
I havenāt received the email with the link to the group chat
Can someone send it to me, my email is juandavidflorezrincon01@gmail.com
@coconutfloat I clicked it regardelss just to be 100% sure
If you are rejected, will they send an email telling you, because itās been 3 weeks for me but I still havenāt recieved anything. Will I know if Iām rejected or will they only tell those who are accepted?
I am wondering the same, applied on 01/12 and second LOR was submitted on 01/20. No response yet.
I submitted my SAMS app on 2/6. Not expecting any decision anytime soon, but Iām pretty nervous cause I submitted rather late. I also applied to NHSGA and the Summer Session, so Iām worried thatāll count against me. My stats arenāt that good.
Yeah, does anyone know how fast they fill the program? Because I figured I had until at least the end of February, I hadnāt been pushing myself to send it in. Looking here makes me think that I shouldāve already submittedā¦
@seabathchun Hoping it doesnāt fill too fast. I didnāt apply early enough, I fear.
My GPA is quite low (4.04 at my old school, 3.4 here) but with my school being super rigorous I hope thatāll not hurt me too much. My SAT is 1420, 1340 PSAT. Couple of tech ECs. Iām a $40k income white LGBT student with an incarcerated mother, so hoping it all works out.
Iāve attended public school up until this year, but since my school is so notably rich Iām assuming thatās a (rightful) disadvantage for my application.
itās rolling admission so it most likely wonāt fill up before the final deadline however itās gonna harder to get accepted as time goes on. Just make sure that the content of your essays is really good and shows the admissions board who you really are. SAMS is a program thatās meant to provide support to those who have a passion for learning and STEM so show that passion in your essays and if your stats are low maybe explain why in your essays. Hopefully youāll get in 
!!!
If you are rejected, they will send an email telling you that you are rejected
@BoundtoSucceed yes. the link did not show up at first. I had to email the administrator and she added it.
Just got my decisionā¦
wAiTLiSted lmaooo(i think iām one of the first applicants who got that fat waitlist)
submitted Jan 17
STATS: Asian Female rising senior
1510 SAT+800 Math2+790 Physics
4.0 UW, 4.3 W
Decent ECs but not a lot of rewards
i think i messed up my essay thatās why
hey has anyone gotten accepted before that submitted kinda late? My cousin is applying but sheās going through a lot right now and hasnāt submitted it yetā¦ is she going to have a chance at this rate?
I am a 2019 SAMS alum. If any of you have any questions, fire away.
I got rejected (White female 35 ACT, 4.5W 4.0UW). I did get a full scholarship to the Summer Session though!
How long should I expect to wait for a decision? Iām biting my nails!
@astudent03
Omg! congrats! Did you get financial aid (need-based) or a merit-based scholarship for the summer session? I only chose the option to apply to SAMS and not the others, because my family is middle income (so we probably wouldnāt get need-based aid).
hey does anyone know if the program is filled yet?
