<p>Desired major: computer science</p>
<p>And finally...colleges!!!:
Carnegie Mellon (ED)
UC Berkeley
Stanford</p>
<p>I think you’ll get in to all of those schools. May I ask why ED to Carnegie Mellon?</p>
<p>It’s close to some of my family and I love the campus. Thing is, those in the School of comp. Science have an unweighted GPA of 3.79 :(</p>
<p>Bump. Anyone? and how much would being a URM help in CMU? (i understand there’s no effect in Cali schools)</p>
<p>I hope you have sample computer programming work to offer as supplementary material! I’m not sure what to make of your GPA since I don’t know what it is out of nor do I know your rank… You seem to have a very very good chance of getting into CMU-I believe that your status as URM would help there. Definitely would help at Stanford.
CMU-match
UC Berkeley (out of state? in?) match or low reach depending on state residency
Stanford- reach because its stanford
Thanks for chancing me!! Best of luck to you!!</p>
<p>Something that I didn’t considering adding until a friend told me is that I help feed the homeless every other Friday. I originally didn’t want to include it (I never even put it in as community service hours!) because it was something I do simply because I want to. Will this really give me an edge in a school of computer science? Another addition is that I did 75+ hours volunteering at a hospital. And lastly, while my rank is top 5%, I’m unsure of the numerical ranking, but I assume it’s in the 30s/850. Any feedback on this chance is appreciated. :D</p>
<p>UCB i think you’re definitely in, stanford i think pretty much speaks for itself but definitely go for it, carnegie mellon idk enough about to judge lol</p>
<p>Which AP classes? 5.23 Weighted GPA? Care to elaborate? You seem fit for CMU, UCB, but reach for Stanford… as always.</p>
<p>As being in IB, 6/7 of my junior year classes were 6.0 and in sophomore year I had one AP class and all but one was honors. AP classes from sophomore to junior year were:
AP World -5
AP Chem -5
AP Eng Lang -4
AP Calc AB -5
(not that AP test scores matter in admission)</p>
<p>However like I said before, CMU School of Comp. Sci’s average GPA is 3.79. If I had include 1st sem. of senior year GPA then I know I can bring it up, but I’m not sure. 
Hopefully being a URM is enough of a hook. Thanks for the feedback!</p>
<p>Honestly, I think you have a chance, but it’s dependent on your essays, while your scores are good, your ECs are predictable …</p>
<p>Thanks! It really means a lot. I’ll try to get more involved in other clubs, I guess. Any other advice is greatly appreciated.</p>
