Chances CMU? Applying RD

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Any shot? Applying RD
GPA: 3.77/4.0 (unweighted, no weighted available)
Rank: top 13% -> 45/350ish (this is also unweighted, but I've took the most rigorous course load). School is competitive- sends 15-20 students to ivies/t-20 schools each year
SAT: 2310-> 800M, 750 CR, 760 W
SATII:720 Math II, 710 Physics (can't retake, but shouldn't break my app...)</p>

<p>ECs: Few clubs and sports here and there. Captain of robotics team, research lab intern for 2+ years (getting rec as well), publish/coauthor on paper (related to CS/engineering/robotics), etc.</p>

<p>I know my GPA/rank isn't very high, I had a 3.6 freshman year, but 4.0s Sophomore and Junior year. I'm working on my essays, any hope that they might counterbalance a lowish GPA (my SATs are on the higher end as well). I'm applying to CIT, SCS, and MCS. I know CMU is big on robotics, so hopefully the research and robotics team stuff should compensate for some of the lower object stats.</p>

<p>^ Make your own thread.</p>

<p>Blackhippy: You have about an average, maybe a bit above average chance. </p>

<p>Also, Carnegie Mellon does not consider freshman year GPA !</p>

<p>CMU: Match
Caltech: Reach</p>

<p>What exactly are SCS abd MCS?</p>

<p>@Catria: SCS is the School of Computer Science, MCS- Mellon College of Science, and CIT- Carnegie Institue of Technology. They’re the colleges within CMU. You can apply to up to three out of all the CMU’s colleges, i.e. Tepper, H&SS, SCS, MCS, CIT, etc.</p>

<p>If you’re applying for CS, CMU is a low match. 760+ on Math is guaranteed in. (With a high average of course.)</p>
