<p>I was curious as to how difficult it is to gain admissions into CIT's Electrical and Computer Engineering program. If anyone knows statistics or has been admitted, please feel free to post. Thanks for all of your help in advance.</p>
<p>Well.... I can help you a little bit. ECE students normally have pretty high stats (a cut above regular engineering, although I'm sure someone else can provide exact stats), and it is by far the most selective engineering program. Also, here is a tip... don't ever mark ECE or CS as a second choice, you won't get it. Neither department likes being placed second...</p>
<p>Oh wait, I've been admitted (they tell recruited athletes with competing offers a smidgen early)</p>
<p>SATI 700M 800V
SAT II's, 780 MIIC 760W 740Chem
Ranked 1/326
Also, i'm a legacy</p>
<p>I suppose I might as well post my statistics, so that future posters (with KirbusPrime, included), can comment if I look fine:</p>
<p>Academics:
* GPA: 3.86 (UW), 4.02 (W)
* SAT: 2300-2400 on new SAT; equivalent of 1520-1600 (predicted)
* SAT II: 750-800 on 3 SAT IIs (predicted)
* AP and Honors: 14 by graduation</p>
<p>Extra Curriculars:
* Speech and Debate (7 hours/40 weeks): Excellence Award, Varsity Debate
* Cycling Team (10 hours/52 weeks): Founder, President of High School Team
* Percussion (3 hours/40 weeks): 7 years experience
* School Newspaper (3 hours/40 weeks): Staff Writer (11), [Section Editor (12)]
* Community Service: 100 hours</p>
<p>Summer Activities:
* Stanford Debate Camp: 3 weeks (10)
* UC Berkeley Writing Enrichment Course: 5 weeks (11)
* Biomedical Research Internship: 5 weeks (12) - [Still waiting for acceptance]
* MOSAIC Journalism Workshop: 2 weeks (12) - [Still waiting for acceptance]</p>
<p>I would greatly appreciate any input - thanks!</p>
<p>Note: I should also add that my school has a 72% acceptance to Carnegie Mellon, with the average accepted applicant having a 3.72 UW GPA and 1442 SAT I score.</p>
<p>Admissions at CMU is basically 50% grades and scores, 50% other. Your grades and scores look to be great. The other category looks great, especially for an engineer (debate). I think the college summer classes really, really help. I think you'll get ECE.</p>

<p>The fact that CMU is divided into different areas makes this fact a little deceiving. You should check that accpetance rate specifically to ECE.</p>
<p>KirbusPrime: First off, congratulations on your acceptance to CMU! Secondly, thanks for your input. I'm curious why you think my extra curricular of debate is good for an engineer?</p>
<p>Well, it shows you are multitalented. Someone who wants to be an engineer would probably be more likely to do math and science oriented things, so debate makes you stick out more in that pool, which isn't a bad thing.</p>
<p>KirbusPrime: That seems to make sense to me; thanks again.</p>
<p>Anyone else have input/comments?</p>
