<p>I know for a fact that they do not look at students from a single school as a whole. It isn't like "we'll accept two students this year from X high school". They really do look at students individually. So there maybe something about your high school. But more likely, none of the students fit CMC.</p>
<p>I am a white female with a little different background from most folks..my father is an American teacher and my mother is an English housewife (I have dual citizenship). I was born in Bermuda and have lived in Germany and England as well, but never in the states. I currently attend a small (86 students) U.S. Department of Defense high school in North Yorkshire, England.
My stats are:
SAT - 2170 (reading-740, math-650, writing-780).
SAT subject tests - taking this Saturday, Dec. 1!
AP - U.S. History-5; English Lit.-4; currently taking AP Spanish Language, Calculus AB, and English Language.
ACT - 31 (composite score).
E.C's. - Honor Society, National Merit Commended student, Catholic Youth Organization, children's church aide, volleyball, and soccer.
The size of my school has its advantages, but extra-curriculars are rather limited. Plus nobody drives a car over here until they're 18, further limiting one's ability to get around.
I'm applying reg. decision to CMC - what do you think my chances are? My dad said if I'm accepted we'll fly out there in April and have a look at it (my dad's family lives in California, hence my interest in CA schools). Also applying to Pitzer and Occidental.
Thanks!</p>
<p>You have a fair shot. Your essays will be a big determination.</p>
<p>crouton-
i am a freshman at barnard, and i am a native californian looking to possibly transfer somewhere closer to home (hopefully cmc!) so my grades here aren't all that great, i'm gonna get an A in my physics lab class, an A in my physics class, a B or B+ in macroeconomics, and a B in english. Also a "pass" in my anthropology class. I got a 2320 on the SAT 1 and 730's on my SAT II's. i dont even know if scores count as a transfer. my high school gpa, incuding 9th grade, was about 3.9 W. without 9th grade, it was 4.2 W. My ec's aren't ALL that impressive. here, i am a member of the clay collective. back in high school, i did work at an AIDS clinic and also did the AIDS walk every year. i also did service for tree people. i was on varsity tennis for 4 years and earned a spot on the all-league team. i was on student council, but they didnt have specific positions at my school. i also worked at a grocery store. i didnt apply to CMC from high school, but was in the running for a full scholarship provided by POSSE. i got to the semi-finals of that or something. what do you think about my situation? might i be able to get in?</p>
<p>Can you tell me the average starting salary of students immediately coming out of CMC? I guess this would be the average salary of everyone's first job.</p>
<p>Also, do you know how much money CMC will provide for transportation home, such as during holidays? Will they pay for all of it, like if I had to buy a plane ticket to go from California to New Jersey.</p>
<p>we<em>tard</em>it -- Are you asking whether (and to what extent) CMC will subsidize students' holiday flights home? At other schools, I know of certain very competitive/rare scholarships that will fund a certain number of trips home per year, but I've never heard of a school doing this indiscriminately. I can say with a fair deal of confidence that if you're a regular student at CMC, even if you receive financial aid, the school won't provide you with any money to travel home for holidays...</p>
<p>Have you found any schools (or do other posters know of any schools) that do this? I can't imagine, though it'd certainly help lots of people out.</p>
<p>Also, I don't know salary stats for CMC, but it's worth noting that the average salary of first-year grads is NOT the average salary of everyone's first job. A decent percentage of students will go on to grad or professional school before entering the workforce.</p>
<p>So here's a little about me:</p>
<p>I go to a small private school in New Orleans with a graduating class of 40.
I am ranked either 4 or 5.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.78 unweighted
My school doesn't offer any APs, but I took honors in every class all 4 years.
ACT: 32</p>
<p>EC's:
Varsity volleyball 2 years
Varsity softball 4 years - 2 year captain
varsity basketball 3 years - 2 year captain
Student Council President
Acapella Co-President
Concert choir - 4 years
Auditioned choir - 4 years
Yearbook - Editor-in-chief
Science Olympiad - 4 years</p>
<p>National Merit Semifinalist

<p>I have a friend who got a DUI off campus. How will that be handled by the CMC campus and what are the sanctions likely to be from CMC?</p>
<p>Hi, how many people (just approximately) are on your waitlist and what are the chances of getting off of it?</p>
<p>Umm…</p>
