<p>SATI 2010 CR 560 W 680 M 770
SATII MathIc 700 MathIIc 790 Bio 630 Physics 630</p>

<p>are my scores too low for CMU? i dont know if its a good idea to apply there early if i dont have any chance...</p>

<p>Nope, you’re good. The average UW GPA at CMU is a 3.6.</p>

<p>Test scores definitely on the low side.</p>

<p>Your GPA shouldn’t be a problem, assuming you have a decently rigorous schedule. I’d be slightly worried about the test scores - if you could get your CR up to at least 600, even that could really help. ED can only help you, so applying ED is definitely a good idea if you really want to go to CMU, because CMU definitely considers interest. I would try taking the SAT again (or try the ACT if you want). Maybe do a little prep on your own if you haven’t already?
Also, since you said you’re an immigrant, I’m guessing that English may not be your first language? I would assume that they’ll be more forgiving in terms of CR if that’s the case.</p>

<p>It is a real reach. If you haven’t studied English for long, can pay full price and show you’re working on the English, not impossible.</p>

<p>It’s a match for you. GPA is more important than test scores and your GPA is excellent.</p>
