<p>Your scores are good enough for cmu, unfortunatly I don't know much about cmu's mcs department other than it is really good...Your class rank might be a problem, (I am in the same situation), but everything else looks good, I say its a low reach...good luck...</p>

<p>Thanks! I go to a school in NY with 20% asians, so it's really competitive.
By the way, I'm not applying to CMU's computer science. I'm doing Mellon College of Science.</p>

<p>Hmmm...I don't know what you want me to chance. You know that Mellon is a top school and it is mainly a tossup. I'd say with your math scores, you've got a very good chance. Good luck</p>

<p>Your volunteer hours blew me away. I think MCS in CMU is a match, but not guaranteed.</p>

<p>It's hard to rank without knowing weighted and unweighted GPA. Your class rank hurts, but your standardized tests help.</p>

<p>Since your going for MCS and not computer science, I would say match, your about where MCS should be, it is even bordering on low match.</p>

<p>Bump... please chance! I will chance back! :)</p>

<p>My Weighted GPA is a 4.20, Unweighted GPA is a 3.85. Again I go to a really competitive school in NY, 20% Asians.</p>

<p>Your scores are good enough for CMU.</p>

<p>The class rank might hurt a bit, but it is a competitive school, so I guess that's a tossup.</p>

<p>Honestly? I think you have a decent chance of getting in. Match?</p>
