<p>Are you sure you have the right school? CMU doesn’t have a hockey team and they don’t give athletic scholarships.</p>

<p>Any chance you’re looking for Central Michigan University? I think they’ve got hockey.</p>

<p>Also, out of curiosity, which school district? I graduated from Central Bucks a long while back.</p>

<p>Well I think somebody told me that Carnegie Mellon had a hockey team but I guess that was a mistake. I would just use that as an easier way to get in Carnegie because it is one of the schools that I am very interested in.</p>

<p>Michigan is another one of my choices for the future, but not Central Michigan University. And that’s awesome! I go to Central Bucks West.</p>

<p>Ahh, cool, I was from East a long while back. There’s actually a lot of people from the Delaware Valley at CMU; it made it really easy to find rides back and forth for breaks and whatnot. My first few years I got rides from other people, my senior year I wound up giving rides to other people. :)</p>

<p>I hope that if I end up going there things are that convenient for me! What do you guys think my chances are of getting in there if I apply early decision?</p>

<p>CMU does have a hockey team but its not particularly good.</p>

8

<p>Is it an NCAA team or just club? What do you think my chances are of getting accepted there?</p>
