<p>Honestly, it could go either way. Even with your hooks (ethnicity, ED, first-generation), ECE is still a reach because its such a competitive program. Your activities are excellent, but your test scores are really dragging you down. </p>
<p>According to the admissions statistics, 31 is the 25th percentile for the ACT at the entire school. The bigger problem however is that your math and science sub-scores are the weakest overall. Your SAT subject tests are also lacking (sorry for being blunt) and you haven’t taken many math or science AP’s. </p>
<p>IMO, your biggest weaknesses are your coursework and math/science test scores. Due to your excellent hooks however, ECE is still possible. Again, I feel like your decision will come down to your essays (especially the supplement), and, thus, could easily go either way. Just my $.02.</p>
<p>Also, can you chance me back? I also applied ED to Carnegie Mellon.
