<p>EC's</p>

<p>I was involved in a program in which I took college courses. The program was meant for juniors but they accepted me as a sophmore.</p>

<p>Here's a bit of a numbers breakdown for you. CMU has a 42% acceptance rate. Your test scores are a bit below avg of kids accepted, so that would put you at abt 35%.</p>

<p>BUT, of kids who score 1900-2000, i am sure ur grades/ec's are much better.</p>

<p>therefore, I would put your chances around 50-70%...sorry i can't be more precise. hope that helps.</p>
