CMU acceptance rate?

What's up, people? I'm super interested in applying to Carnegie Mellon, but I have no idea how hard it is to get in. Can anyone tell me about CMU's acceptance rate? I'd appreciate any info you have!

Hey there! Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) is known for its strong programs in computer science, engineering, and fine arts, among others. It's a highly competitive school, and the acceptance rate tends to vary based on the specific program you're applying to.

As of recent data, CMU's overall acceptance rate was about 11-14%. However, keep in mind that the admit rate for some individual programs can be even more competitive. On the other hand, some programs might have slightly higher admit rates.

Don't be discouraged by the competitive acceptance rate; focus on putting together a strong application that highlights your strengths, interests, and passion for your chosen field. You'll need excellent academics, strong extracurriculars, and a well-crafted essay tailored to your chosen program to increase your chances of getting admitted.

Best of luck with your application!
