Hi! I'm looking for an 1BR apartment that is clean, in a safe neighborhood, and has affordable parking. Doesn't have to be super close to CMU because I'll drive to school. As for rent, I'm thinking along the lines of $1100. Would really appreciate any suggestions!

Hey everyone,

I’m a grad student in architecture at CMU, working on this idea called Detor—basically, an app that nudges people to take small detours in their daily routes and discover cool, unexpected spots in the city. Think Duolingo meets Pokémon Go, but for real-world exploration instead of gamified screens.

I’m looking for a CS student who’s into this kind of stuff and might want to build it out with me. If we click, we could even go for the CS+X grant to get some backing for it. If you’re into mobile/web dev, mapping APIs,—but mostly, I just want to team up with someone excited about making something fun and useful.

If this sounds interesting, hit me up! Happy to chat and see where it goes.

As said in the title. I'm currently a senior in CMU ECE and I know that I'm going to MSECE for sure. I think my undergraduate GPA is too low to get me a good full time job and I really want to learn more about the AI/ML track in the MS ECE. As for the summer before the graduation school, I'm looking for interns. Should I put my 3.1 GPA on my resume? Or should I just take it off?

Current junior looking for off campus 6 month lease options.
Also open to any situations of sharing lease with someone who will be abroad during fall semester 2025.

hi guys has anyone had any stories/experience/know anything abt transferring to dietrich? ik cmu doesn’t accept many transfers in the first place… is it impossible?

i only rly see ppl transferring to tepper or cs on this sub, so if anyone knows anything abt dietrich that would be extremely helpful!!

context to why i want to transfer: no stats major at my school, only minor. i like cmu bc they have stats major and it’s heavy focused on computation not a lot of cs

Hi CMU folks! 👋 I’m trying to learn IoT/embedded systems (ESP32, STM32, etc.) and wondering if your classes or students recommend YouTube playlists or channels for this.

• Does the department share official video lectures or tutorials?
• Any favourite creators for deep dives?

Not affiliated with the school, but I’d love to learn from resources trusted here. Thanks for any tips

who still has 2024 spring exam schedule? do they place the same class on the same data across years?

I can't remember for the life of me 😭

I applied CMU RD for CS, and I have new information that I’d like to be added to my application. Can I email the admissions office to add this information to my application? Also would they be able to add a second major I’m interested in taking?

Hi Friends! Been a lurker for a few weeks now. I'm considering to enroll in Tepper's MBA program. I've heard CMU's social life in general is not as vibrant and you have to work hard to foster a decent social life. Does anyone have knowledge of how social life is at Tepper specifically?

Is there a drone club/community here or anybody else that owns a DJI Drone? I have a few questions

Graduated high school in 2022 with 3.89 GPA. 5 APs, a dozen honors classes, dual enrollment for math 8th-11th grade, 1330 SAT taken in October 2024, ranked 50/270 weighted. BUT I’ve been in the military since I graduated high school. I just got out as a disabled veteran. My experience in the military consisted of intel analysis as well as administration and facility management duties. I got my company commander to write my letter of recommendation. Also I’m 2/3 of the way through an associates degree from the military training I received. Applied for civil engineering.

How cooked am I?

I received an interview invite from CMU for the MSBA program. Tried to schedule my interview within 2 hours of receiving the email but all the slots were filled.

The email stated that there’s limited interview availability. I’ve sent the admissions team an email, but, just want to make sure this isn’t unusual?

Hi. I applied ED and got deffered for OOS BS Data Science at CMU. I was wondering whether sending a Letter of Continued interest would help increase my admission chances. According to the websute, CMU doesn't really consider LOCIs of waitlisted applicants but there is nothing mentioned about deferral. Would sending one negatively impact my admissions decision?

Has anyone here applied for the Engineering and Public Policy PhD program for Fall 2025 and received an admission decision?

See title. I currently have BCBS of Massachusetts from my employer, and the in-network copay is $25— insanely good, compared to other options. I had the student BCBS coverage back in the undergrad, which was fee waived through my financial aid. (I probably should have used it more.)

I’m aware that SHIP uses Highmark BCBS: any experiences resulting from that? Any perspectives?

Hey guys I have been admitted for fall 2025 Heinz masters and would like to connect with like ones.

I want to go from yellow to red bc I love famous Amos cookies

I'm graduating this semester from cmu and looking for someone to get an apartment with in the bay area. Most of my friends graduated last semester and already have leases. I generally like people from CMU and was wondering if anyone is interested.

Hey! Any comments on 10301 exams? The homeworks are very coding heavy, will they put similar large coding questions on the exam as well? Or, are the exams conceptual and mathematical biased?

Grab a chair and lend me your ear (technically your eyes) as I recount some of the legends, lore, and deepest secrets of the School of Architecture. After all this time, some memories deserved to be archived for the next generation to discover the character and intrigue of their institution's past. As a survivor of architorture, this alumnus is glad to write as many of them down that can be recollected. You might find these stories unbelievable, but alas, not believing in gravity will not grant you the ability to fly. So take them for what they are.

The late 2000s were the golden age of memes. Photos of ninja conventions, rage comics, snippets from cartoons, and cats hungry for cheeseburgers were but part of a myriad of gags readily shared online and in architecture studio. 

One fall, a lanky freshmen archie got the bright idea to make a meme real in Maggie Mo. He and his cohort in mischief got a sheet of thick cardstock and set to work, plotting out a 2d cutout of the famous "Ceiling Cat," perfectly sized to be placed above the communal computers in the third floor corridor. He carefully cut out the parts and taped together his sculptural masterpiece. Now, I don't know how he did it but he somehow managed to reach the high ceiling and installed it without assistance and more importantly, without being caught.

The next day, archies would be pointed by their peers to look up at the great ceiling cat looking down on them. Giggles and whispers were rampant in studio as they took photos of the humorous endeavor. It was weeks before the cleaning crew found it and took it down. Unlike him, they apparently had to use a ladder. 

Cheers,

The SoArch Tattler.

What does it mean if my scholarships and grants are greater than the payments received. On my 1098-T by $13,000. I don’t understand. I got scholarships but all they did was adjust my finanacial aid so how is that still on the 1098T if I didn’t get any of it I don’t understand
