EXTREMELY STRONG ESSAYS, im actually very proud of them for carnegie
good LORs also
Please let me know what my chances are for each of the colleges listed in the first line!
TYSM
Your stats seem kinda low. That was my SAT and I got ejected ED (but I did CS not engineering). Also CMU recommends a second subject test (I think it is science for engineering).
I’ve applied to CMU, and although your stats might be a bit low, I think you have tremendous ECs. Seeing that most colleges like EC involvement you have a good chance

CS is going to be a significant reach. The median SCS admission is a 3.95UW and the SAT 25-75 is roughly 1570-1580.
The math SAT range at CMU for engineering is 780-800. The comp sci range is 800-800. Hell, the humanities college range is 760-780. Yes, English majors need a 760 math score for the Nerd Farm.
