<p>Forgot to add, I’m a white female going into my senior year of high school in North Carolina. I’ve taken AP Stats, AP World, AP English Lang, AP Environmental, AP US History, and AP Psychology. I made 5’s on all of these exams. This year I am taking AP Human Geography, AP Gov, AP English Lit, AP Bio, AP Calculus, IB Philosophy and have high A’s in all of these classes currently.</p>

<p>I think you have an excellent chance for Dietrich (I’m assuming that’s what DC is). One thing. Like so many of the really selective colleges and universities, CMU wants to get a feeling that if they admit you, that you will come. You can demonstrate this in many of the usual ways: keep in touch with your admissions counselor, visit if that’s feasible.
Good luck to you. Your HS achievements are tremendous.</p>
