Asian Male, current high school junior in a relatively competitive high school in California.

BTW, will participating in CMU’s AP/EA program affect my chances at all? I am thinking of applying (primarily because I want to experience CMU’s curriculum and there are some interesting classes, not just for my application).

Planning on taking Math 2 and Physics SATs. Expecting high scores (750+) on both.

I think you have a decent chance, although Asian male in California means you are applying from a very competitive region. Try to get your GPA 3.9+ and get more EC and you should be good.
