Speak to Students
Anxious to hear what current students have to say about Carnegie Mellon? Make a "student connection" with one of our students!
Talk to a current student who shares your academic or social interests. You can make a student connection by email, telephone, online chat, electronic message boards or snail mail.
Your conversation topics can be about anything — academics, social life, clubs and activities, food, the weather in Pittsburgh — whatever is on your mind. While the students are employed for the Office of Admission, they will give you an honest opinion about admission, academics and campus life based on their own experiences. No question is too big or too small!

Online chats are held daily with current students throughout the year.

The majority of our are chats that are open to all prospective students. In the spring, our admission counselors will host chats exclusively for admitted students. Be sure to keep an eye out for other upcoming specialized chats.
