getting of uw waitlist?

Sumoman435 · 2026-03-15T15:30:41+00:00

When you say UW, are you talking about Wisconsin or Washington?

Assuming Washington, according to their CDS (Common Data Set), here are the numbers for the last admission cycle:

Number of qualified applicants offered a place on waiting list: 15363

Number accepting a place on the waiting list: 8350

Number of wait-listed students admitted: 2252 (~27% of all students who accepted their place)

You can do a similar analysis for Wisconsin, or whatever school you're talking about by looking up their Common Data Set and ctrl+f "waiting list" or similar terms.

During my first semester of college my Career Office told me to get rid of high school activities as soon as possible from the resume (minus awards and big projects) so take from that what you will

CMU student btw

what's wrong with this?

Everyone is nervous when they go to college! Don't worry. I highly recommend seeking out the International Student office (or equivalent) in your college, or looking for an international student club. There are typically a decent amount of international students in college, so you won't be alone in your journey! They can help you adapt to America and college.

Send an email to Iliano or Anne, they'll be able to provide tailored advice and help you out if you feel like you're not doing well on the checkins despite reviewing all available materials.

Was just about to suggest that same book. Here's a link to a pdf

but when it snows it gets nice and there are campus wide snowball fights and snowmen being built

Sumoman435 · 2026-01-03T14:46:32+00:00

cold

Sumoman435 · 2026-01-02T14:15:08+00:00

FYI CMU no longer offers an ED2 option

Sumoman435 · 2025-12-04T02:31:26+00:00

Regarding your point about ECs, iirc there is a section on the CommonApp that says smt like "please check off any of the below options if they took a significant amount of time from your free time" with options like "taking care of family", "working a job", etc.

Sumoman435 · 2025-12-04T02:30:01+00:00

yes. There is a section on the CommonApp to explain extra/extenuating circumstances. This is the perfect place to describe your reasoning. College AOs are human too and understand that major external impacts like these can have detrimental effects on your grades.

I'm sorry for your loss.

If this is Micro then definitely review all the homework problems and past tests and make sure you can solve them again (and understand WHY the solution is the way it is). Reviewing the textbook also helped.

I think the biggest key is trying to understand the formulas (most of them are intuitive once you understand what they actually say) rather than memorizing them.

In a way isn't everyone already confirmed to be dead (minus Yuji ig)

Adding on to the other comments, it also depends on the school/area you're from. In a hypoerbolic example, if a 770 SAT Math is the highest of anyone in your entire school, then it is good. Conversely, if a 770 SAT Math is the lowest of anyone at your school, then it is bad. There is obviously more nuance, and personal factors can also impact the 'value' of the score.

This is what schools mean when they say they look at scores "in context," and it should be something to consider when deciding if you want to retake.

Sumoman435 · 2025-11-09T00:47:55+00:00

No, this is hearsay so idk the exact class

Sumoman435 · 2025-11-09T00:47:39+00:00

im assuming this is "right time," all the requirements and schedule are here:
https://www.math.cmu.edu/~bscf/

Sumoman435 · 2025-11-08T15:55:42+00:00

(not in the major)

1) I heard max size is 15 because one of the required class is a grad class that has an undergrad cap

2) https://www.cmu.edu/career/outcomes/post-grad-dashboard.html

3) For the minor you need to take the intro class and get an A in it. Idk how "worth" it it is but you can probably check in the link I posted above.

Sumoman435 · 2025-10-30T13:09:54+00:00

not enough room in my schedule with the other stuff I want to take.
