<p>Your standardized test scores are a little low, but I think you will get in.</p>

3

<p>Your test scores would be low for an Ivy League school or MIT, but they are OK for CIT (CMU engineering). The biggest problem is that CMU doesn't give financial aid to international undergraduate students (the university's endowment is too small to afford that).</p>

4

<p>Don't you think 720 in Math is low for CIT?</p>

5

<p>oh no im not international.. im from new jersey... sorry for confusing oyu.</p>

6

<p>maybe my scores are too low but im hoping my math IIc make up for that</p>

<p>The mid 50 % ranges for admitted CIT students in the 2007/8 pool of applicants were:</p>

<p>SAT-M 710-790
SAT-WR 620-700<br>
SAT-CR 610-710</p>

<p>The OP's scores therefore are within range for CIT admission (which is actually not very competitive, except for ECE ).</p>

<p>I think you are a match, but that doesn't guarantee you'll be accepted.</p>
