College Advice on Carnegie Mellon University

halo_nick Question: Is Carnegie-Mellon University that hard of a school to enter? I have been lookin at colleges to enter for the future, and I always caught my eye on Carnegie. It has all my needs of a career there and its a great schol. Plus, its far enough away from my parents so they wont bother me. But people have been tellin me that its such a dificult schol to get through. Is it true? 31 months ago kimpe... Best Answer It's a very difficult school to gain admissions to. It's currently ranked #22 by U.S. News and World Report, and that's pretty darn high. They have top notch programs in engineering, fine arts, and business, and the rest of their programs are also very desirable. Whether or not you get in is determined by several factors: GPA, class rank, SAT scores, essay, recommendations, etc. It also depends on which school you are applying to. For example, the Tepper School of Business has a 13% acceptance rate, while the school of Humanities and Social Sciences has a 34% acceptance rate. Good luck.

michael Question: I go the admission of Carnegie mellon University & Texas A&M University? Hi I am confused. I love math, computer and physics. I go the admission of Carnegie mellon University & Texas A&M University. But I don't know which major is better, mechanical engineering or computer science. and which uni is better.... please, help me??? pls mention where do u live in ur answers>>>>>> 35 months ago Roari... Best Answer Carnegie Mellon is a very, very strong school, and their engineering and computer science programs rank among the best in the world. Their computer science programs are especially strong - definately top 5-10 in the US. Texas A&M is also very strong, but ranks below CM. Still, in many engineering fields, it's in the top 30 in the US for engineering. But which do you think is a better fit for you? And are you instate Texas? If so, you'll get a great education at Texas A&M at a relatively low cost, due to the in-state tuition discount. That alone would make this school a strong contender. See all 4 answers

sdfsdf d Question: UT Austin or Carnegie mellon? I have been accepted to UT Austin and Carnegie Mellon. I am majoring in Physics. Which is a better university for an undergraduate? Which looks good to the employer? Is the high cost of CMU (25 000, with aid) worth it than fullride for UT for physics major? 35 months ago joe s Best Answer Carnegie Mellon hands down. It's number one in the country in Robotics and AI. The contacts you will make at Carnegie Mellon will be worth the cost 100 fold.

leo10583 Question: I got into Syracuse and Carnegie Mellon, where should I go? I will be doing a Master of Public Policy. In Syracuse I got a full scholarship for their one year programme, in Carnegie Mellon I would have to put 25k from my own pocket in two years time. 36 months ago cuhrrb Best Answer Carnegie Mellon may have a better reputation, but may not necessarily the better school for you. In fact, in 2004, Syracuse's school of public affairs was ranked number 1 by US News (if you care about what they think). Here are some things you might want to think about. 1. Don't think about the money right away--if both schools gave you free ride, which one would you choose? 2. Think about your specific program- do a little research on the professors from both universities and see which professors have specific interests that closely match your own interests in public policy. This your chance to prepare for a career that will closely match what you want to do. 3. Did you visit universities yet? You definitely should. Both colleges are great. Good luck choosing-- See all 4 answers

Jay R Question: Carnegie Mellon University? Has anybody been accepted or attend CMU....I am very set on attending there.....My grades iun school are not the best....As & Bs ...maybe 3rd in my class...this is due to a lack of devotion towards my studies which i now regret...however...i am technically a genius and have won national mathematic competitions....will this help me....anything of use someone can offer will be much appreciated 36 months ago hmass... Best Answer I haven't been accepted or attend CMU, however I go to Pitt which is right next door basically. All the people I know who go there had similar grades and placement in their class, but what CMU really looks for is scientific/technological genius, which you say you have. I think your chances are pretty good as long as you do/did well on your SATs and ACT and you're involved with alot of extracirricular activities (band, AP classes, Model UN, math competitions like you have participated in, science or technology related clubs). Musical abilites also help. Colleges don't just look at grades anymore, they look at how you function in society, so I'm sure CMU does that. I hope that helps (and Pitt is great too, sorry just had to put that out there) and good luck!
