<p>Hello I hear Carnegie Mellon's CompSci department is pretty damn good compared to other schools in the nation</p>

<p>Classes:
(11) AP Physics II, AP Calc I, AP Econ/Gov't, AP English Comp, Spanish 4 Hon
(10) AP Physics I, Hon Analysis (Precalc), Hon American Lit/History, Spanish 3 Hon, Intro to comp. programming
(9) Regular bio, regular english, regular history, intro to BASIC programming, Hon Alg II, Spanish II</p>

<p>GPA now ~4.2</p>

<p>Scores:
AP - Physics AB: 4
SAT II - Bio: 670 Physics: 690 (redoing) Math IC: 710 Math 2C: 780
SAT I - 1970 (ew) (redoing)</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>You definitely need to raise that SAT. If you raise it high enough and show interest in computer science as well as apply ED, you'll probably get in.</p>

<p>Good luck! </p>

<p>PS: Take more AP's if you can.</p>

<p>Anyone go there? What kind of stats did u have?</p>

<p>Visit the CMU board and check out the people that were accepted to CS. These people did not ED though so if you ED your chances will be better.</p>
