Hi there! I've been looking into Carnegie Mellon and was curious if they consider demonstrated interest when evaluating applications. Should I be more proactive in engaging with them to improve my chances? Any insight would be appreciated!
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) does nor take demonstrated interest into account when evaluating applications. That being said, demonstrating interest can slightly improve your chances of admission, especially if other parts of your application are on the borderline. It's still a good idea to visit the campus, attend college fairs, and engage with local admissions officers if you can to learn more about the programs and incorporate the knowledge you learned into your application.
