<p>there are tons of options for you, your gpa isn’t that bad, and your EC’s are decent. i suggest retakign the sat or givign the act a go, seeing how your psat score was higher than your sat score. schools will take your health issues into account too, make sure to get your counselor to mention them. </p>

<p>OP, were you aware that CMU does not consider your freshman year in your GPA. I think your SAT’s and EC’s look great. Write a great essay and I think you have a decent shot at a lot of places. Good luck! If you are seriously considering CMU, show them lots of interest and spend time on your Why CMU essay.</p>

<p>ok</p>

<p>so your prospective major is what? </p>

<p>what can your family afford? have you run net price calculators for each school? have you talked to your parents and gotten from them a number that will tell you how much to expect for each year of college?</p>
