<p>I would like to apply to the Carnegie Mellon undergrad business program, and I know it's highly ranked, so please let me know what you think!</p>

<p>I'm hesitant to be too specific because I know many people from my school use this site and I don't want them to know it's me, so I'll post ranges for my stats:</p>

<p>Class Size: 730-750
Unweighted GPA: 3.5-3.6 top 30-33%
Weighted GPA: 4.4-4.5 top 10-11%
** I got 2 C's 2nd semester of my junior year in core classes (horrible, i know) so take this into account. I've never gotten anything below a B before.</p>

<p>ACT composite: 31-33
Total # of AP classes taken in HS so far: 6
Total # of AP tests taken: 4
AP Scores:
U.S. History-3
Statistics-4
Physics-3
Psychology-5</p>

<p>EC's (sorry these are so vague, but, again, I am hesitant to be too specific):
-Captain of 1 of my clubs and have been in it for all 3 years (going on 4)
-Member of 4 other clubs (I quit one of them after sophomore year)
-Member of club outside of school (metropolitan)
-Volunteer work outside of school for over 40 hrs.</p>

<p>Awards:
-National award winner
-State champ for two of my clubs
-Community scholarship winner
-District award winner</p>

<p>Recs:
I know I can get a really strong recommendation from the teacher who supervises the club that I am a captain in.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m gonna go ahead and say I don’t know your chances at all, I’m not a business guy, but just reviewing your stats…you just seem like another person saying…I wanna go to a good school…we’ll…why? Show us what makes you special, ec that show you standout…that you really love business. Do you have fbla at your school? Do you any internship opportunities that work with a small or large business. Overall…you don’t wow me…and when looking at people wanting to go to a top tier university, especially in that major, you gotta wow me, or you won’t wow the college admissions</p>
