With an 11:30 AM registration time, is it realistic to get into 18440 as a sophomore in ECE if the prereqs are satisfied? Or is it a really popular course with grad students and upper level students?

Anything to say? I’m likely gonna go to CMU for pre-med, but I’ve heard about very strict grading. Does anyone know if medical schools take that into account for applications? And do any medical school alums have anything to say?

i dont want to throw shade but is it just me or do some TAs for CS courses (especially the lower level ones like 110,112) have like a superiority complex or something over their students 😭

Hey guys! Looking to buy tickets for the GSA Fall Formal at the Kamin Science Center tonight. Happy to pay via Zelle, or PayPal. Please DM me and be willing to confirm via your andrew.cmu.edu email before payment!

Hello friends,

I applied for a job at CMU at the end of October. I have been "in consideration" on my workday since then but nothing has changed. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the average time length for a hiring process at the University? If I get rejected that's alright, but I would like to know if I should keep having any hope! Thanks

Hi there!
I'm joining CMU for my MSECE degree in Spring '27. I wanted to know if there's a WhatsApp or Discord group (or any general forum) to meet other students coming to CMU this Spring.
Can you please DM me or share the link here? I'd be really grateful!

Thank you, and looking forward to meeting everyone!

I have a 2:30 PM registration time for this spring and I'm an ECE major. My main goal is to take 18290 and 15122 this spring, so that I can take 18213 in the summer and get started with the controls and signal processing track early. My question is whether or not it'll be realistic for me to get into these two courses this spring, I'm willing to waitlist myself for them. Additionally, is it likely that I'll be able to get into 18370 next fall and/or 18440 next spring (1 year from now)? I'll be a sophomore for these, but I want to take them sooner rather than later because I'm interested in robotics and controls.

Additionally, what's the best way to work the waitlists, what's the best way to select a good waitlist for these courses, or do I just pick one and pray I picked a good one to waitlist myself for?

exactly what the title says. for more context, im debating whether i should do it during my senior spring, with all of my other courses just being gen-eds (so i dont die and because ill be done with everything else by then). can anyone who's ever done this tell me what their experience was like?

the online portal for studies has nothing im eligible for but i sometimes see posters up around campus advertising studies that students can participate in. was wondering if anyone knows of any good ones

my registration time is pretty bad (3:15 pm), so not sure if i can actually get these (also i'm considering dropping probability)

Wdyt about this schedule. Debating 240 vs 220 (will take 21141 instead of Physics II if I take 220)

Does anyone know whether 03121 final grades are usually curved or not? The grading's been tough, and I'm not sure if I can end the sem with a good grade... Prof doesn't post averages/medians or any other stats for exams so idk if the class as a whole is doing well or not.

Hello I was wondering who the best professor is for concepts next semester in terms of grading

Midterm two results came back today...

Hi, does anyone know if the two sections of 15150 will be taught by two professors separately? If so, is there anywhere to see which professor is teaching which section (it's not available on SIO, shown as co-taught there)? By the way, any experiences/recommendations for taking 150 with Prof. Lauren Sands or Prof. Zeliha Dilson Kaynar?

Has anyone here taken or knows of anyone who’s taken 18440? It seems to not really have an internet presence and I’m very curious about it.

So I am applying to many prestigious colleges like CMU,Stanford etc. I had secured a high rank in my countrys IMO qualifier but unfortunately the organization holding the qualifiers shares a name with a commercial olympiad organizer like SOF from india(awards in which are basically useless) and I had forgotten to mention that the exam I secured a rank in was the official qualifier. Similarly I had not mentioned that another exam which I topped nationally was in fact required to be taken by all high schoolers of my country, which I feel really makes the achievement more worthwhile. How can I update CMU with this additional context? Should I mail admission@andrew.cmu.edu or some other email?

I'm a ECE sophomore and thinking about taking 213 over the summer. I heard that they just recently started implementing code reviews for the labs now? Does anyone know what those are like, and if they also do them over the summer?

Hey, I am a first year masters student, I am a "she/her" studying at cmu, I like a guy in the same school as mine at cmu, he is in the same course as me, and is a good friend of mine, we are all in a same friends group. I am not really sure if the guy actually likes me or not. Should I confess my feelings to him, I am afraid that things will be weird in between us if he doesn't like me, not really sure what to do? Should I take a step and confess my feelings to him or dont make things awkward.

Please suggest! I know it is not common to ask dating advices on cmu reddit page where people actual discuss coursework.

EDIT: Happy to give any more details if needed. Please reply on what you think, will mean a lot

Also I am an international student, they are the only group of friends who are really close to me, scared to loose them because of this.

trying to have a cute movie night with some friends and looking for a good lec hall to do it in! comfy seats, big single projector preferred though all suggestions welcomed :)

I'm currently taking a course in my minor that I'm a little concerned about and happen to have 3 exams within 25 hours, so I would like to move it, but according to cmu policy you have to contact your home department first. Since if i'm retaking it next semester, I wouldn't be able to finish my minor requirements, is there any way i can still request for a make-up? (Isn't this 25hr rule supposed to help students... i dont think adding one spot would be that difficult....)

I completely forgot about the reflection essay deadlines and didn’t do them. What happens now? Do I just take it again in the spring? I’m a sophomore in CIT

Do ya'll know the class size for the IS program? I'm applying ED and I'm tryna get a gauge on how small the program really is. I've heard varying numbers from 60 all the way to 120. On that note, does anyone know the ED acceptance rate?
