I have been given admission too :)

It is provisional and I need to complete a calculus based probability course. Although I have already completed one at undergrad.
 
  • 2012  Enrolled Nevaloselondon has a tracker for this program.
I think that the letter sent out was a standard letter to all persons admitted where we are asked to complete an online probability course as well as a math and computer science refresher course before entering the program.

My letter included scholarship info. I realize this is a first world problem, but I have to decide between Princeton and CMU with a substantial scholarship. Not sure what to do.

Information about scholarship is in the second paragraph of my letter. I was also asked to complete an online probability couse as well as a C++ course.

Regarding the c++ course, this is what the letter says:

"Your offer of admission is provisional upon your successful completion (with a grade of 'B' or better) of a full semester C or C++ programming course. This course should cover, at a minimum, the basics of the edit/compile/link process, writing and calling functions, pointers and array arithmetic, and memory allocation with malloc (C) or new (C++). You may take the programming class at any accredited college/university and the course must be completed by July 30, 2012."

21K is it? Congrats and hope to see you around. As long as you are in the East coast, you aren't too far away from most of us. I'm sure we are going to have some bar meetup in the future.
Btw, you haven't selected CMU as your final destination yet.

Andy Nguyen actually yes 21k how did you know? is it something most students get? anyways.. i'll update the final destination when i send in my enrollment deposit (next week)
 
  • 2012  Accepted ferdowsi has a tracker for this program.
There seems to be at least two levels of scholarship money. Anyone know how many of each kind they give out?
 
  • 2012  Enrolled tellingeric has a tracker for this program.
i wonder if anyone has experience of asking scholarship if they did not mention it in the admission letter.
or is financial aids available for the mscf?
