The average ACT score for CMU is 32. The lowest 25th percentile is 30.
A score of 24 means that over 90% of admitted students scored higher than you. So, you’ll need to bring that score up to be considered.
You should make your own ChanceMe thread, as to not derail someone else’s.

CMU is a difficult school to get into for anybody, but you have great scores all around. I think it’s a reach for you depending on the exact school you apply to, but it isn’t a high reach.
