<p>Hey guys, Im planning to apply to Carnegie Mellon for computer science </p>

<p>gpa: 3.67 (I heard carnegie doesnt factor in freshman grades, so without 9th grade my gpa would be 3.61)</p>

<p>weighted gpa: 4.41 (without 9th grade, weighted gpa will be 4.49)</p>

<p>SAT math: 790
SAT Reading: 720
SAT Writing: 700</p>

<p>ACT: 34</p>

<p>SAT Math: 800
SAT Physics: 800
SAT Chemistry: 800
SAT History: 710</p>

<p>My junior yr courseload involved 5 AP's and I got A's in all of them, and only B in junior year was in French</p>

<p>and im going to keep the EC's short </p>

<p>senior position in a bioresearch club (team published 2 clones)
president of volunteer club
2 medals in mathematics (one in state level and the other at regionals)
JV track
120+ volunteer hours
Physics award for being top 10% in NJ science league
and a few other activities and clubs</p>

<p>Biggest hook I guess would be that I worked on a physics project at a University abroad with people applying for PhD's</p>

<hr>

<p>So do I have a really good chance at carnegie school of computer science?</p>

<p>where else do I have a good shot at?</p>

<p>Thanks everyone</p>

<p>im going to be honest</p>

<p>but ur chances for carnegie computer science are very very slim</p>

<p>your gpa, SAt score, and especially EC’s are not adequate for carnegie
perhaps retake SAT/ACT?</p>

<p>do people agree with my opinion?</p>

<p>His application looks like it has a shot to me, though, as I say in every other chance thread I comment on, having the stats to get isn’t a sure-fire acceptance where there’s way more students applying with “good enough” stats than there are spaces.</p>
