One last thing: I play violin, piano, and guitar, and I am quite advanced in all three. No awards for any of the instruments but I can definitely submit an art supplement for all three. I really like music :stuck_out_tongue:

That record is honestly impressive. I think you have a pretty solid shot at getting in. Good luck (:

BTW: Your un-weighted GPA could use some work but overall, I think you’re good to go.

No prob & I don’t really have much info on that particular university but it’s not the amount of ap classes that should matter but rather the quality - like how well you do.

If you are applying SCS then the ACT is probably a little low improve it otherwise you are set.

CMU: Reach (SCS is a higher reach obviously)

nah i think i’m going for engineering; not sure what i wanna do yet

Early decision is risky. I’d apply regular decision, work on GPA and make sure to visit campus and interview there.
