Chance?

[cervidae]

<p>Plan on applying to design, maybe double major (something in social sciences?) if the workload isn't too bad (I guess I'd graduate in 5 years instead). </p>

<p>-SAT I: 700 M, 710 CR, 790 W
-Superscore: I think 2230
-SAT II: 800 Bio (plan on taking Math II and/or US Hist)
-GPA: about 3.8
-Weighted: about 4.1
-Rank: school doesn't rank, but I'd estimate anywhere from 60th to 80th percentile
-Jr Year: H Precalc, H Eng, US Hist, Orch 3, AP Chinese, AP Chem, AP Stats
-Sr Year: Calc BC, AP Eng, Gov/Econ, Orch 4, AP Human Geo, AP Studio Art (also plan on taking AP US Gov, maybe Macro/Micro)</p>

<p>EC:
-Natl Art Honor Society member, publicity officer
-LEO member, publicity officer
-Track JV, Varsity next year?
-Graphic design work for local business
-Volunteering: book drive with homeless shelter, founded recycling/campus beautification program at elementary school, taught music/orchestra to elementary students, played cello in pit orchestra of youth acting company
-CMU Summer Programs for Diversity '12 (the free one)</p>

<p>Hopefully enough info to make a general conclusion. Also, would cello/auditioning be a selling point? I'm not amazing or anything but can at least crank out a decent concerto. </p>

<p>tl;dr Does someone with decent (?) academics (my high school has completely ruined my perception of what good/bad academics are), decent SATs, basic ECs, decent APs (I'm expecting at least 4's, probably 5's), pretty good essays, and I guess a decent portfolio have a chance or should I just cry myself to sleep jk that's what I do anyway oops.</p>

<p>For design, your portfolio is the thing that gets you in and the people on the forums obviously wont be able to see that. Your solid performance in high school is just a garnish.</p>

<p>You would be a competitive candidate (i.e., this school is a pretty good match) for HSS on your stats alone.</p>

<p>You actually have GREAT stats! But for a design major your stats are not what’s going to get you in. It’s pretty much dependent on the portfolio.</p>

<p>Pretty solid stats. Your math SAT is a bit low, but I think you have a decent chance</p>
