<p>You have a solid chance, that’s all. Good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks Cortana! I really appreciate it</p>

<p>Anyone else want to chime in?</p>

<p>When I chance people, I give them a number out of 10 to represent their chance of being admitted. 10=[Literally impossible to get in] and 1=[Community College]. I also qualitatively ranked certain facets of your application to show how I arrived at my chance estimate (a positive facet helps your app while a negative facet hurts it). </p>

<p>Strong GPA + Great EC’s + Strong Essays + Strong Recs - Average SAT II scores + Good Courseload - Average SAT + Demonstrated Interest = 6.5/10</p>

<p>Thanks Fate! Congrats on getting into Carnegie Mellon. So is a 6.5/10 relatively good or bad?</p>

<p>Anyone else want to chime in?</p>

6

<p>You have a very solid chance. 10/10</p>

<p>Thanks ACTE35! Congrats on getting into Carnegie Mellon as well. </p>

<p>Anyone else want to chime in?</p>

<p>I’m definitely no expert, but you seem like a pretty good candidate. I would say you are likely to get in</p>

<p>I would say you have a good chance of getting in. I got into CIT for MSE.</p>

<p>Your SAT II are good but not fantastic, but your SAT is actually better than it sounds. I took the ACT instead and got a 33 (2190) with 800 chem but only 730 Math 1.</p>

<p>However your extracurriculars sound great as well as your leadership roles. </p>

<p>I’d say 8.5~9 / 10 … just to be safe.
Good Luck!</p>
