<p>wow metalforever, engineering with sub-600 math subject tests, what do you think got you in?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>To Carnegie Mellon? well i was thinking.</p>
<p>* Reason #1*
It could have been the essay.
I own a paranormal website. I talked about it in response to this essay question:</p>
<p>“Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you.”</p>
<p>My essay was titled: “The Challenges and Rewards of Owning a Parapsychological Community”. First, I talked about all of the hardships I face when attempting to do what I love (paranormal -type stuff), and how i feel it is sad that I am unable to express this love and my accomplishments within it without the fear of disapproval. Second, I talked about my parents immediate disapproval of the subject, about how I was never able to tell them with a straight face about my website, and what I learned from such a situation. Third, I talk about the challenges of running such a website, reviewing articles, and evaluating volunteers who might not be the most sane. I told them why my experiences would be beneficial to an education at Carnegie Mellon. I close it out telling them how people have differing interests, and mine truly changed my life. </p>
<p>*Reason #2: * I had an interview. I was upfront regarding my low test scores. She mentioned retaking them, and i did, raising my writing from a 550 to a 590, and my sat physics to a 550 from a 520 (ish).</p>
<p>Also, I had a really good answer for about how i made my decision regarding college choices, and had many questions prepared. One question i asked was what the interviewer (i was at the campus, and was talking to an actual adcom) DIDNT like about the campus. She was pretty surprised and mentioned the parking.</p>
<p>Furthermore, she had asked me to possibly submit an “activities resume” to the school.</p>
<p>* Reason #3: * I submitted an freestyled “activities resume” filled with 10(ish) activites i enjoy. I didnt put down any school related ECs. I related the things I love doing to activities around the community. One example would be loving to sew, with a picture of the punk-studded leather jacket with a bunch of punk/metal bands that I handcrafted. I related my love for sewing to volunteering at a church that sews things to give to needy children or pregnant teens.</p>
<p>Erm, apparently they saw something in me enough to accept me. Im glad, because the school is wonderful (not talking about ranking), everyone i met there was incredibly nice, and it was an arty place with an actual small, green campus near a large city.</p>
<p>Got into Pitt on Friday. Pretty psyched, not my top choice, but I feel much more relaxed knowing I’ve gotten in somewhere. Anyone know Pitt’s mean acceptance GPA? It was a bit of a last minute application for me and I’m unsure if it was surprising that I got accepted or if it was within my range.</p>
<p>metalforever, i’m glad you got in:)</p>

<p>I think I posted in this thread already. I got into St. Joseph’s University with a Presidential Scholarship ($15,000 a year) and I got into their honors program. I also got the Dean’s Scholarship from University of Scranton ($13,000 a year). I was accepted to Fordham EA and heard back today that I’ve recieved the Loyola Scholarship ($8,000 a year). I’m still waiting on:</p>
<p>American, Bryn Mawr, Villanova, Barnard, Smith, Mount Holyoke, Holy Cross, Bates, and Boston College. The wait is killing me, especially because I applied to so many schools. So many letters will come at the same time.</p>
