Limited sections of the online application will remain open. Applicants are still able to update their resume and test scores after the application has been submitted. Simply log into your application to upload a new resume or add new scores on the status page. Applicants can also make changes to their letters of recommendation. After logging in, you can send a reminder, make new requests, and exclude letters.
An English language proficiency test, such as the DET, is required of all international students and United States permanent residents as a review component in order for the admissions committee to better understand applicants' potential for academic success in their desired program. It is also needed to support admitted students' visa applications. Proof of English language proficiency is not required if the applicant will have graduated from a US university by the time of enrollment, or if the applicant is a CMU student or alum. It is also not required for anyone with United Kingdom or Canadian citizenship.
We now accept electronic scores from IELTS. In order for IELTS to verify the scores are going to the correct college/department, they require a physical address. Please use the following: Carnegie Mellon University, College of Engineering 431 Hamerschlag Drive Ansys Hall Suite 250 Pittsburgh, PA 15213
