@sophie1010 When did u submit your application?

@Liveluv I submitted my application on December 02, 2019.

@skskskandioop can you email me the link to the group chat at lspinti45@gmail.com

hey guys they’re only accepting 75 students this year? I’m still working on my app but I haven’t able to find time b/c of midterms… at this rate would I even have a chance of being accepted?

@coconutfloat of course there’s a chance, just email diane or someone and tell them why, make sure they know you want to attend, you got this

who’s diane?

and why email

@Egar0325 ^^ who would be this ā€œDianeā€ that I can email? I tried emailing the standard precollege@andrew.cmu.edu but i don’t think i’ll get a response…

@coconutfloat I would recommend sending in your application asap. I don’t think they can really do anything without seeing your applications.

@collegebun I’m trying, but I’m still waiting on one teacher rec in the midst of midterms… it’s been pretty crazy. Do you think the program is full already? Also does anyone know if it’s possible to send in scores after submission? I’m taking the ACT on Feb 8th but I don’t wanna wait around for scores to come out to submit my app.

@coconutfloat I don’t think the program would be full in January., but you can call the SAMS program to find out. You can submit the application first without the recommendation letter. Are you a sophomore or junior? You can use your PSAT if you are a junior who has already taken the test. Gook luck with you midterm!

@coconutfloat Diane is the program director, go to the admitted students section and click on the handbook, her email should be on the first few pages of the handbook!!!

@collegebun @Egar0325 thanks guys! Also I have another question: we only have to submit one score? Should I submit my SAT or PSAT (1410 & 1320)

@coconutfloat I put all 3 of my psat scores (960, 850, and 1050)

Anyone submitted first week of January got the acceptances or rejections??

I haven’t yet

Any freshman who got accepted?
