Another irritating question regarding admission

Colleges and Universities A-Z Carnegie Mellon University

<p>I know that only admission counselors can legitimately decide whom they admit, but I was wondering what you think my chances are for freshman admission to Carnegie Mellon University?</p>

<p>I graduated early at sixteen and I'm currently taking audit (non-credit)classes at a community college. I also graduated as Valedictorian, but my senior class was so small it's negligible.</p>

<p>Intended Major: History</p>

<p>Weighted GPA 3.6
Unweighted GPA 3.5</p>

<p>Freshman (F in French) 3.14
Sophmore 3.93
Senior 3.8
Texas Tech Extended studies 3.5</p>

<p>SAT I
690 Verbal
660 Math
610 Writing</p>

<p>SAT II
I will not receive the scores until December, though I think I did reasonably well.</p>

<p>Your freshman year will most probably not be looked at so your GPA will be quite good. Your SAT scores could be higher though as a lot of the applicants who have SATs in the 1300s are usually split in like 750 math and 600 verbal, etc. </p>

<p>However you are applying to HSS so I think you have a pretty good chance. Your E.C's are very good and I think if you write good essays you're definitely in.</p>

<p>Is an SAT Subject Test actually required for H&SS? I only took tests in History and literature.</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon pretty much requires SAT II's for most colleges. Per their web site: <a href="http://my.cmu.edu/site/admission/page.academic_req#HSS%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://my.cmu.edu/site/admission/page.academic_req#HSS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>HSS requires two SAT II's
Math level I or II and one additional SAT II</p>
