<p>Oh, and I will most likely be applying to MCS not SCS</p>

<p>What’s not to like, especially cheerleading, which tends to be underrepresented at schools like CMU! Only other items: Financial Aid? Race? Other hooks (legacy, etc.).</p>

<p>I’d say you have an excellent chance, if not a shoe-in :slight_smile: Good luck</p>

5

<p>I’d say you are very likely to get into MCS (unless you do terribly on the Math and Physics SAT II’s).</p>

<p>You’re as good as in. Don’t worry too much about the subject tests, but get in at least the 600s, they give the SAT IIs very little consideration.</p>
