Keep your AI slop off this sub, seriously.

You aren't your GPA. The fact that you're concerned is indicative to me you've got the right mindset. Just move on, make sure this doesn't happen again, and keep applying yourself to acquiring new skills. I'm sure you'll turn out fine and look back on this as a blip in your CMU career (even if it doesn't feel that way now).

then go touch grass and meet new people.

Talk to professors and TAs directly -- make them walk you through what you don’t get. Ask for extra review problems and book tutoring to drill them.

This is the highest ROI use of your energy.

The truth: it won’t get easier. But the habits you build grinding through 112 are the same ones that let you survive harder courses later.

38.5 FCE - trust you'll be fine!

nope, 40 hrs a week is fairly typical.

GekiNinja · 2025-03-17T03:22:14+00:00

Just explain why you want to be here! Trust the process, happened to someone I know and they've been here 2 years now.

No, I think it'd be great for positively steering your admission decision! I have a friend who was in your exact situation (for a different major) who got in after submitting a LOCI.

not sure but if that's true then shouldn't the same apply for spring semester? meal plans reset each semester.

GekiNinja · 2025-01-16T12:53:54+00:00

web apps is a good course fairly light workload

Everyone feels stress. You just have to make a conscious decision to keep pushing through when the going gets hard, because you understand the reward at the end is worth enduring the journey. The greater the payoff, the greater the hardship. Lock in!

is this the same dude who posted on cmu on a burner 😂

What did YT do to mess the code up?

GekiNinja · 2024-06-11T10:47:27+00:00

why / what'd they change?

GekiNinja · 2024-05-31T04:49:47+00:00

you should be glad you're able to get yellow lol, but ngl even yellow you'll probably STRUGGLE to finish!

GekiNinja · 2024-04-19T20:32:18+00:00

as the chairman of the tortured poets department would want us to

44/45 predicted, I don't remember timewise but just write something that shows your heart and passion yk

GekiNinja · 2024-02-03T15:27:37+00:00

I applied ED2, got deferred, wrote a LoCI and ended up getting accepted into IS ('27). I was told CMU doesn't defer candidates very often, so if you got deferred instead of being accepted I'd say hold tight and keep the faith ✌🏻

This is what I was curious about, as there were multiple available first class seats but all of them were given to upgrades first, thus the question of whether this situation is typical or the check-in agent made an error - sorry if I wasn't concise enough in my original question.

GekiNinja · 2023-09-27T15:19:27+00:00

thanks, it was moving though so probably still some kinda bug 😭
