<p>Hey, everyone! I'm a high school junior and I'm looking to go to NYU, Carnegie Mellon, or Northwestern for a double major in musical theatre and social work/psychology. One of these three would be a dream come true, and I'd also flip at the chance to go to Syracuse. I'm gonna apply to Ithaca and Marymount Manhattan and Montclair State just to be safe, but my ideal schools would be one of the top four mentioned. So, given my potential application, what are my chances for getting into CMU?</p>
<p>Also, assume that I get into the musical theatre program (a different battle altogether!)</p>
<p>SAT: 2060
CR 690
M 630
W 740
(I do plan on retaking the SATs in October before I submit my applications, any tips on improving my scores, particularly in math and possibly CR? How high should they be?)</p>
<p>I haven't taken the ACT yet or any SAT subject tests or anything like that. I plan on it, though.</p>
<p>GPA Weighted: 4.0
GPA Unweighted: 3.9
