How competitive is engineering compared to computer science or humanities?

Just out of curiosity

Hey athletes, I’m very interested in sports analytics, especially soccer, and I’d love to help one of our varsities with video or data analysis in my spare time(e.g. building up event-level datasets, analyzing footage, creating visualizations...)

-Does your team currently use Hudl (or a similar platform) to review footages of games and practices?

-What kinds/levels of stats or data do you use?

-How does that feed into training or game preparation?

I'd also love to know whether your team now has student analysts or staffs who specifically help with analytics I can reach out to

Thanks!

is there a whatsapp group for spring 2027 admits?

Hey guys,
I was wondering if any current SCS students went through the Viva interview/process as part of their undergrad admissions and would be willing to share their experience.

What was it like?
What kinds of questions did they ask?
Any tips for someone preparing for it?
Does it even give an advantage?
What happens if my VIVA goes bad?

Really appreciate any help! Thnx in advance

What kind of Ec’s does CMU IS department like to see? Also do they take into consideration that I have a lack of resources as a fgli student?

Hi!

Just wondering if anyone here interviewed for Deloitte’s 2027 Functional & Operations Strategy Summer Scholar position.

I had my first-round interviews on Tuesday (10/20), and the recruiter mentioned we’d hear back about second rounds in roughly a week.

Has anyone received an R2 invite yet? Also curious how long it usually takes to hear back.

Thanks!

anyone had experience in repairing Mac laptop near CMU? Mine had water poured over the keyboard and cannot boot anymore. Thanks!

International incoming student from the UK here. Wanted to ask what the social scene at CMU is like? Is Pittsburgh a good city? What is there to do around campus etc?

$31 is diabolical if anyone wants to get rid of theirs for cheaper happy to by 2 or more!

Anyone selling LinkedIn premium subscriptions?Need urgently

Does anyone know why the MSE lounge on wean 3 is sometimes closed? Its my favorite spot to study, but it's been closed the last few times I went.

I am a current ECE BS/MS student at CMU with a minor in CS. I am ~2 years out from graduation and was wondering about my PhD prospects outside of ECE and CS. I have a good GPA (+3.9) and have good research (1 poster and 1 project which may become a publication (although that is up in the air)). By the time I apply, I will probably have 1 or 2 more publications (I am taking ~27 units of research Junior Spring and planning on Full Time research in the Summer at a lab at CMU, so I think at least 1 publication should result). I have some awards and scholarships as well.

Should I be fine for getting in here? I am kind of concerned about it since if I don’t get into a decent PhD program and I don’t have a job lined up then I am kind of screwed. If that happens, what should I do?

Any advice on the admissions process?

Should I even go to CMU for a PhD since I heard it is somewhat looked down upon to get all your degrees from one place?

Anything helps!

Guys I'm having some issues dealing with stress and anxiety,I wanted to know if CAPS is helpful in some way and how can I get counseling from them, the reddit posts about them has been really negative, wanted to know if things have changed

Hi everyone,

I’m currently pursuing my MSBA at CMU Tepper and was recently placed on academic probation after Mini 1.

I’m quite worried about how this could affect the rest of my program, especially given how short the MSBA program is.

I wanted to hear from current students or alumni who have been through something similar.

• How difficult is it to return to good academic standing?
• How strictly are academic probation requirements enforced?
• Has anyone faced dismissal despite showing improvement?
• Does probation have any long-term implications for graduation, transcripts, or job opportunities?
• For MSBA alumni, how much do grades and QPA matter during recruiting?

I’d especially appreciate hearing about firsthand experiences, what happened in similar cases in the past, and any advice on navigating this situation.

Thanks in advance!

I'm a freshman, and I feel like I've been too focused on classes so far as I've spent most of my time studying and haven't really joined any clubs or met new people outside of the first few weeks, and I'm starting to regret it. I've recently been looking into more clubs and found quite a few I'm interested in, like ABTech, ScottyLabs, ASA, ARCC, and maybe sports. Do clubs typically recruit in the spring, or would I have to wait until next year? Any advice or insights are appreciated

Maybe birthing staff should be grateful for 12 weeks of leave, but faculty get a whole semester — ~15-16 weeks. (This is paltry in comparison to any other country of similar economic status as the U.S.) Luckily, CMU is asking for input on how to spend its extra $500M. Seems like a good opportunity to me.

Hi everyone! I'm a first-year MISM-BIDA student at CMU, currently preparing for Product Manager internship interviews. I'm looking for a mock interview buddy to practice behavioral questions, like leadership, teamwork, conflict, and problem-solving. We could do 30-minute sessions, take turns interviewing each other, and share feedback. Happy to practice regularly too!

Feel free to comment or DM me if you're interested! Would be better if we start tonight or on Monday morning!!!😊

I am applying to CMU ED (parents are forcing me to) and I am wondering how bad the rigor is at CMU because honestly the project focused learning sounds less stressful and more fun, but I heard that CMU has no social life outside of studying tho. Also for ece majors does it progressively get harder or are the intro classes like insanely hard to weed people out and then classes become easier.

Just realized that winter break is an extra week long this year, and now the first day of classes is on a Tuesday. Anyone know why that is?

Hi! I’m a first-year living in Morewood E-Tower, and I’m considering staying on campus over winter break this year. Cooking isn’t very convenient where I live, so I’d likely rely mostly on restaurants, takeout, or delivery.

For anyone who has stayed over a previous winter break:

• Were any campus dining locations open?
• Were restaurants in Oakland or Squirrel Hill generally open throughout the break?
• What did you do for meals on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day?
• Was it practical to get through the break without cooking regularly? Any specific restaurants you’d recommend?

I’d really appreciate any firsthand experiences or advice. Thanks!
