With a scholarship. Nicely done!

excitedquant · 2/27/25

what is the maximum scholarship this year? I received 15k.

Jdude · 2/27/25

I also got 15k but I think historically there have been cases of 30k scholarship, not sure if it gets higher than that tho

Andy Nguyen · 2/27/25

Yes, we've seen $15K offered so far.
Here is a list of the range of scholarship offered by all programs recorded on QuantNet Tracker.

I talked to CMU Admissions and they told me that they won't issue any decisions for the second round until May 1; minimum

Can someone please advise on the GRE score submission? Mine still shows awaiting in the application. While submitting during the GRE test, I added the correct institution code but wasn’t able to add the program code because there was no option to choose program codes, it was just department codes. Please let me know!
