<p>Pretty good overall in terms of stats. However Carnegie Mellon is very competitive overall. You honestly cant do too much else. You would probably have a much better shot if You had a national level EC. If the world was a fair place, you should at least get waitlisted or differed entry, but unfortunately the world is not a fair place. You have a shot. But like everyone else, not an amazing one. </p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback. My engineering team is involved with CS as well @theanaconda‌. But the internship is the major thing I have done with CS, alongside my personal projects. </p>

6

<p>it’s just a reach because of the percentage and your low physcis scores. It’s a 6% acceptance rate. your ECs are pretty good, but not out of the world. good luck. </p>

7

<p>Do you think I should submit the E&M Score? The other physics scores seem decent, but definitely could be better. </p>

<p>Isn’t CMU an 18% acceptance?</p>

8

<p>You should submit, they assume a 1 or didn’t take otherwise (by submit I assume you mean self report on the common app). It’s 18% overall, but 6% for Comp Sci.</p>

<p>Oh okay, thanks.</p>

<p>idk about cs, high reach for anyone. anyother school in cmu would be a match
