Is anyone aware if Carnegie Mellon University offers an early action option for their applications?
Carnegie Mellon University does not offer an Early Action option. Instead, they offer an Early Decision plan which is binding, meaning if you're accepted, you're required to withdraw any applications to other schools and commit to attending CMU. The deadline for Early Decision at CMU typically falls in early November, and applicants usually hear back in mid-December.
Remember, applying through Early Decision indicates that CMU is your top choice. Ensure that it's indeed your foremost choice and that you have considered the financial implications of this commitment before deciding to go down this route.
