I just got an email from CMU in regards to admission result. I applied for NY campus and never had an interview. I am waitlisted.

Congratulations to everyone who got admitted and thanks for updating your Tracker. If you happen to apply to other programs, please also add them. Those info are some of the most useful data we have for applicants.

Nice move :D
How much time does it give you to make your decision (in other words, when is the deposit due)?
The deadline for the initial deposit of $2000 is March 11. The deadline for the final confirmation deposit of $1000 is May 15

That's what I want to know. They always end up with the same number of students in NYC and Pittsburgh. I wonder how the campus choice get factored into their selection process. Wish the tracker would start tracking that.

Anyway, congratulations to everyone that got accepted! Hope I can join you guys in R2.

I am admitted to the Pitt campus. However, during the interview Rick told me that for those who lack full-time work experience but have a strong academic background (like me), NYC campus is better than Pitt in terms of career outlook. I am still a graduating senior in college and thus I have no full-time experience. So I think what Rick told me makes a lot of sense and I kinda want to switch to NYC campus now. What do you guys think?

I got the same speech. I'm sure that he knows what he is talking about and is right, in the sense that if your highest priority is to get a job then you should go to NYC. However, at what cost? That is what I'm thinking. Yea, I will optimize my job opportunities, but now I have to live in an cramped, expensive city and commute on the train everyday to watch my classes on a bunch of big screen TVs. You will certainly have better career opportunities there, but that doesn't necessarily make it a better choice (for everyone).

Thats, my 2 cents ha.

to watch my classes on a bunch of big screen TVs.
even in pitt theyre on tv for 3 weeks of the mini semester. imo if ur spending the money on a degree like this (similar to an mba) then ur gonna wanna get the most networking and job interviews, placement, etc. out of it.
im also coming from a FT job so im a little dif. to me this is an investment (which i guess is true for everyone). also i live in nyc so to move to pitt would be dif and moving away from one campus to another
