<p>Hey everyone I'll make it short:</p>

<ul>
<li>Sophomore undergraduate at UNC: Chapel Hill</li>
<li>Computer Science/Math double major</li>
<li>Want to transfer to CMU for Computer Science</li>
</ul>

<p>High School Academics
SAT: 2200
Math Level I/Physics: 800
High School GPA: 5.1 (our APs counted as 6, and honors as 5)
Class Rank: 3/450
ECs: Volunteering every summer, school/club soccer for years, math and physics club, etc. Nothing extraordinary.</p>

<p>College Academics
GPA: 3.903
Honors Carolina Student (Honors Program)
Full time computer science internship last summer for 15 weeks
Research Assistant at UNC Computer Science Department
ACM Team
Computer Science club
Really good recommendations
Currently enrolled in or have taken many 400 and 500 level Computer Science/Math courses</p>

<p>Those are all I can recall off the top of my head.
What are my chances of getting into Computer Science at CMU?</p>

<p>I'd appreciate any input, thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I have very little idea of how the transfer application process works here. The website says that the space is pretty limited. Also, I don’t know if there are restrictions on what year you have to be in college to be accepted.</p>

<p>However, you seem like you’d be an asset to CMU. You appear to be smarter than the majority of CS majors, and the ACM and math background definitely help. (If you come here you should try the Putnam math-competition class.) One other possibility might be to transfer to MCS for a math major and then double-major in CS, since it could be easier to get in that way. (Almost all the math majors here double-major.)</p>
