<p>what is your unweighted gpa?</p>

<p>Hey, I'm a freshman at CMU, and I had very similar details to yours (almost strangely too alike haha), if that gives you any idea ;)</p>

<p>For the record, I'm convinced that the essay is very important to get into the college; my SAT scores were nothing to write home about.</p>

<p>godbreath: I don't know my unweighted GPA... My guidance counselor hasn't told me and it isn't on my transcript.</p>

<p>silentsteps: That's great! And I am definitely working hard on the essay :)</p>
