Got an A in all classes (except for 1st semester H Am Lit, I got an A 2nd semester, though)
I got a 32 on my ACT (bad day for me), and am planning on retaking it. I think I can get 34+
I will be taking my SAT math 2 and SAT physics, I think I can get near an 800 on both.

I was just wondering if I should apply to CMU SCS early decision? (I am interested in some of the programs and research areas they have)
Or is there another school I should focus on in which I have a better chance of getting in?
Any replies are appreciated.
