<p>I’m hoping this gets some attention. I’ve been looking at CMC for awhile (I’m also a junior) but no one seems to answer specifically to these chance threads… Good luck!
It looks like we have pretty similar stats, very different but similar weight EC’s too. </p>

A CMC applicant with no athletics?! OUTRAGEOUS!</p>

<p>In all seriousness though, I think you have yourself in a pretty nice spot. Make sure you recognize your passions EARLY in the application process and identify the topics that are going to drive your essays. At a school of its selectivity, those supplements make a world of difference. Try focusing on a few of your EC’s that not many other applicants might have (such as your involvement in girl scouts or passion for entrepreneurship).</p>

<p>And CMC does accept the SAT 2. However, note that they are not required. I only recommend sending them if they are 700+.</p>

<p>If you’re not accepted ED 1 at CMC then I strongly suggest you consider Pomona ED 2. Personally, I think you’d make a better fit there but nobody is going to know yourself better than you do.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>
