Admission
 
 
College admission is more than just admitting a group of students who have the potential to succeed academically. It's about selecting students who will add to the overall Carnegie Mellon community. Each student who joins the Carnegie Mellon community brings with them a unique set of ideas and life experiences. With each incoming first-year class, Carnegie Mellon gains innovators, dreamers and creative thinkers who help shape our university and one day, will help shape the world. We also know that a private education, like Carnegie Mellon, is expensive. But we believe you’ll be getting a world-class education for your investment. Financing a college education will take creativity, sacrifice and support…although there are many ways of making it happen. That’s why Carnegie Mellon has a financial assistance program designed to provide your family with options.
