<p>Recommendations
I think they are going to be really good</p>

<p>Essay's are also going to be spectacular</p>

<p>Also chance me for UC Berkeley and other good schools</p>

<p>I know what situation you’re coming from. My brother moved here when in 11th grade.</p>

<p>You need to somehow justify your bad grades, otherwise I’m thinking mid to high reach for both Carnegie and Berkeley.</p>

3

<p>What is your intended major, I am leaning towards a high reach due to the GPA…</p>

4

<p>Your GPA and SAT score are well below the average for UCB and CMU. Unless you’re a URM, it’s probably going to be a high for CMU, and berkeley doesn’t do affirmative action so it’s a high reach.</p>

5

<p>Hey thanks everyone. Cmu is my first choice school. My intended
Major is computer engineering and this is a speculative GPA which I will have once I am done with my junior year. Also as for my unweighted GPA. That is very low because I have B’s so does Cmu convert your weighted to unweighted.</p>

6

<p>What’s URM and affirmative action?</p>

7

<p>URM = Under Represented Minority (which you are not)
Affirmative Action = (read this Wikipedia article, it is too hard to summarize in a sentence or two) [Affirmative</a> action in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmative_action_in_the_United_States]Affirmative”>Affirmative action in the United States - Wikipedia)</p>

8

<p>Oh ok thanks. I am Indian. I don’t think that it’s an URM. Also English is my second language and I know five languages</p>

9

<p>Berkeley: Reach (if you’re willing to pay full freight it’s reachable)
CMU: Reach</p>

10

<p>I am ready to pay what I have to. I don’t mind paying. The problem is getting in</p>

11

<p>I would say reach, but somewhat possible. Major downfall is your GPA. Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1433075-chance-me-sunys-cunys.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1433075-chance-me-sunys-cunys.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

12

<p>They’re both high reaches with your SAT, especially considering the fact that you’re applying for Comp Engineering</p>

13

<p>Thanks everyone and I will chance you back once I am on my laptop. I am definitely working in my SAT and there is a possibility that I might send my ACT in if a get a 31 Or above. It that good? Which one is the better option</p>

14

<p>Honestly an increase in scores won’t help much with your GPA. A 31 is a good score, but it is currently hypothetical and your weighted GPA is lower then what you would want your unweighted to be.</p>

15

<p>My weighted by the end of this year can be a 3.8 on a 5 scale and my weighted would still be like 3.1</p>
