<p>Carnegie Mellon really, really cares about the SAT Math and the SAT II Math. I’ve never seen anyone get accepted with low scores on either section/exam, even for the DC. That being said, your GPA looks pretty good and so do your EC’s.</p>

<p>Unless you’re applying to economics, you’re chances at ED are well above average. @Cortana431, keep in mind that a lot of people apply ED to DC as a reach school.</p>
