I’d love to chat with any recent admits or even prospective ones to the MISM program. Honestly I don’t even have “major” questions I just want people to talk with about the process and hopefully some advice every once in a while. Feel free to DM!

What does an outstanding / top math major look like at CMU? Just started at CMU as a freshman, just want to get an idea of how the top students' profile (classes, ECs, etc) look like, and how bit is the gap.

im a prospective student and wanna clarify some things- preferably in dms

I am considering applying to CMU's PhD in Software Engineering program and would love to hear from current students or alumni. What has your experience been like in terms of research, advising, funding, workload, and job prospects after graduation? Anything you particularly liked about the program? Thanks!

Hello, I was wondering if there are any beginner soccer groups for women on campus? The ones Ive seen so far seem to need some experience. I’m fine just practicing not always playing games but would love to learn. Also, if any clubs watch premier league/la liga etc together or do any watch parties lmk!

Is it possible to transfer from Computational Biology to CS if (and I know it is a big if!) admitted to SCS. My understanding was that despite whatever you mention on the application, you actually have to declare your major later after joining SCS. However, in a recent CMU AO visit, the AO said that there might be some restrictions on transferring out of Comp Bio. The answer was a little vague. Can someone please shed some light on it?

My partner has been looking for work. She had some interviews earlier in the year at CMU but ended up going to another person. However, she got contact by TES at CMU and they sent her a bunch of available roles.

I am curious. Does anyone have any insight if any of these turn into full time? Or if they really enjoy working with the person that it’s reflected for the future?

If I keep it, it'd only be for the GPA boost. I feel like I could learn everything in it via chat in like 10 minutes or it's things I already know. Is it worth keeping?

Is there a skiing club at CMU that is beginner friendly? I saw the Ski&B team but it seems to be for people who ski competitively (correct me if I’m wrong). I’ve only skied maybe ten times in my life so I’m no where near that level. I would love to find a group people to ski together regularly when the season starts though.

What’s good guys 🙏

I just wanted to come her and ask if like CMU had like pre med orgs other then HHP or like EMS. I lowkey got advice from people to transfer out but like my classes have been going good, not much stress, and I’ve already joined a research lab and stuff so I feel like I’m building a strong foundation here rn.

Please be like brutally honest, I do have some stats that makes me a bit weirder and different then other first years so maybe it changed the whole perspective .

I have an associates degree so like I kinda know college classes structures and like what to expect

I also have clinical hours as a CNA, I’ve done lab work as a research assistant and a lab tech for classes, and I’m kinda retaking most of my classes rn cause CMU credit transfer sucks 😔

Pleeeaaassseeee tell me any resources / other EC’s there might be for pre med 🙏 thank you all

My schedule is cappped rn at 54 units, but I did most of my gen Ed’s so any class recs would be good too

Bless you all

and how about replacing 73102 with 21228 Discrete Math?
I want to escape Sutner’s 251 BADLY

I have got this response when I tried to get into SIO every time with my MacBook since this morning(I have tried various ways to get into it now). While my phone could normally login to my SIO, it seems like just my Mac doesn't work. Does anyone had this issue before? Who could I ask for help if it continues to be a problem?

Does anyone who graduated around 2016–2018 remember Lisa, the amazing lady who worked the Resnik/CUC pasta station? I’m trying to track down her last name or find out how to send her a thank-you note!

I am currently a freshmen studying business admin and will probably add an additional major in either stat or statML either next semester or as a sophomore. I want to try to break into finance, but I’m also interested in stuff like data science which is why I’m tryna add the STEM major for flexibility. That is why both tepper finance group and cmu quant club interest me. However, the info session is happening on the same day. TFG from 5-6 and quant club from 5-7, so I’ll either miss all of TFG or over half of quant club info session. Which do you think is more beneficial to go to?

I lost my wallet within the last week. It is off-whitish, yellow and has Korean or Japanese style cartoon cats and other green, yellow characters on it. It has my government ID in it, so I really need it because now I can’t travel out Pennsylvania. The last time I remember having it was last Saturday in my dorm after coming back from Berry Fresh. I’ve flipped my room upside down multiple times to look for it and went back to berry fresh, but it’s not in either location. If you see it, please lmk. Lost and found didn’t have it.

Would this laptop be good enough for at least undergrad ECE. 16gb ram 512 GB storage both upgradable. Budget is a big thing so I don’t wanna spend too much.

contact me if you lost airpods upstairs of CUC at the tables

Hey everyone, I’m a first-semester MSCS student focusing on ML and trying to finalize my schedule.

I’m pretty set on 10-703 Deep RL and 10-714 Deep Learning Systems, but I’m wondering whether taking both together is too much for a first semester.

For my third course, I’m deciding between:

• 15-659 Probability & Computing II
• 11-611 NLP
• 10-605 ML with Large Datasets

I’m currently leaning toward 15-659 because the material sounds interesting and it satisfies Theory breadth, but it has weekly HW/quizzes plus 3 exams.

Would 10-703 + 10-714 + 15-659 be a reasonable workload? And if not, which of these courses would you swap out?

Hi all!

Hello,

I found a set of keys in Scaife Hall, by the entrance where food pickup is. Jeep car key with some things on the keychain, and a Tile tag attached. I scanned the QR code on the back of that tag and sent a message TWICE to your Life360.

If you are missing a set of keys and think this may be yours, please look at the messages I sent and email me!!
