Common Questions
Has Carnegie Mellon University released its 2026-27 supplemental essays?
Not confirmed yet. As of September 26, 2026, CMU Undergraduate Admission: Admission Consideration does not show prompts labeled for 2026-27. Applicants can see the current prompts inside the Common App after adding Carnegie Mellon to their list, and this page will list them once the college posts them.
Why not show last year's Carnegie Mellon prompts?
Colleges change prompts and word limits from year to year. Showing last year’s prompts as this year’s would send students to the wrong target.
