<p>Kay, so I'll give all the basics and then discuss my thoughts at the bottom.</p>
<p>96% average, weighted. Would that be 4.0?</p>

<p>I will be visiting Carnegie Mellon for Sleeping Bag Weekend later this month. I'll get to talk to professors, admissions, coaches, get an interview. I figure it'll help.</p>
<p>Both of my essays, I believe, were very good. They do not worry me.</p>
<p>Really, my main worry is my physics SAT. The story on that is that I realized about November that SAT Subject Tests were required. I took it in December. I'm pretty good with advanced math, but I'm only taking physics THIS YEAR, so I was definitely ill-prepared (I actually asked my physics teacher to mention this in his recommendation.) I can't imagine that one aspect of my application can be that damaging - can it? What are your thoughts? I'm already set up to retake, and I'm pretty sure the new score can be slipped in before the time I'm judged, but how important are the SAT 2s to Carnegie Mellon? Any semi-experts on the place? Thanks!</p>
unless ye have a 5 in AP physics or maybe a 4 that proves ye otherwise, it won’t really help yer app :(</p>
