I get the pressure to get into a "good" school. I'll cut through the noise: no generic checklists, just what actually works. Start essays early, summer before senior year, not two weeks out. Chase fit over prestige. Non-traditional stories are an advantage, not a flaw, find your throughline. Depth beats breadth in extracurriculars. I'm a CMU sophomore, capital advisory analyst, nonprofit founder, and pianist who didn't fit one mold either. Let's find yours. Reach out to me to learn more.

How hard are the academics at Carnegie Mellon University?
Very hard. In reality, it depends on what sort of classes you're taking and how many, but most courses at CMU that are worth taking are pretty rigorous and demanding. Balancing course load is a must.

How is the dining hall food at Carnegie Mellon University?
CMU's dining hall is much different from traditional college dining halls. We still have meal swipes that you have to purchase as Freshmen but they are used on a couple different cafes and small restaurants that work with CMU. We really only have one dining hall and it's pretty small compared to that of other universities, most people just go to the different small restaurants. All in all, there's a wide variety of food to choose from and most of it is pretty good.
