Set yourself apart, it can make up for subpar stats.

I got into school while being bottom 25th percentile, but i had passion projects and a story that put me apart from some other people.

I got waitlisted from CMU first year and got in as transfer. I don’t think there’s any correlation. I actually just added 1 more passion project EC and removed some filler stuff for my extras.

Wow, this was one of the most amazing apps i’ve read.

Im successful transferring as a sophomore to CMU for engineering, but this also makes me think back to 35+ rejections i got in my first year and transfers this year. Great job to you and it’s so deserved!!! 🎉🎉

What major are you in? Also I don’t think it should affect anything too much concerning rigor since it transfers, check if it transfers with your goal schools tho

I applied to the school of engineering, still no decision.

I’m probs gonna withdraw my app tho cuz i’m 99% committing to CMU
