<p>I think you switched the GPAs up, haha. Unless your weighted is really lower than your unweighted? Anyhow, your scores are a very good fit for CMU. Add to that you’re an URM, so I’d say you have excellent chances. :slight_smile: Everyone knows that colleges <3 hispanic kids.</p>

<p>decent test scores, average-ish GPA. But URM tips you over so I think you’re good for CIT, MCS, and maybe Tepper. SCS would be a long shot though.</p>
