Yes — Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) accepts the Duolingo English Test. It is listed as a score-share destination for 21 programs in United States, which means you can send your official DET result to it directly from your Duolingo account at no extra cost.
The minimum score is set by the program, not by Duolingo: check the admissions page linked below or our score-requirements finder. Most universities ask for an overall of 95–120 with minimum subscores.
