Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey
I'd like to know what my chances are for Carnegie Mellon Architecture. I have a 3.6 GPA unweighted, and I'm currently in 5 AP Classes. I've taken 13 AP/Pre-AP classes thus far in high school, and got a 5 on the AP Language and Composition test. </p>

<p>I have a 29 on the ACT and a 1800 on the SAT. Then a 600 for Physics and 600 for Math 1.</p>

<p>I submitted two really strong essays and have an on-campus portfolio review coming up, which I'm pretty excited for. </p>

<p>I really don’t know…but if you can’t get in…Clemson University has a KILLER program for architecture and is an amazing school…NC State also has a TERRIFIC architecture program…most land-grant colleges have outstanding programs…so don’t be discouraged. It is like me…I don’t know if I’ll get into Davidson…b/c I want to go to Princeton for grad…but if I don’t I can also go up to Clemson and enjoy the college experience just as much and probably still be able to be competitive for grad school (majoring in history if admitted to davidson, double majoring in wildlife bio and history at clemson). So, if you could chance me, that would be great! </p>

<p>I’d say you definitely have a shot, but those test scores aren’t as high as they could be.</p>
