<p>I doubt GPA will hurt you at all with scores and activities like these. Starting a company? Damn. There is somebody in CMU who apparently had like a 1.5 GPA but got a great internship in Silicon Valley because of the stuff he/she did outside the classroom. You really have good stats</p>

<p>I think you’ll be fine.
Doubt your GPA is a factor as long as you played up your business in your essays.</p>

<p>I did play up my business a lot in my essay. DO you guys think i should do any interview? Thanks for all the responses! Anyone else with a chance?</p>

<p>aced the SAT so you should get in…and the extracurricular are ivy ready…carnegie mellon doesn’t look at your 9th grade GPA, so did you mess up your 9th grade and have a 3.3 GPA ? If yes, then you are at a huge advantage…</p>

<p>@jrswish I think you will get in just because of your SAT score. International curriculum cannot be compared to the US curriculum, so thats when the SAT comes in and you aced the SAT…</p>

<p>Thanks for the chances guys! How do you guys recommend I show more interest? I am already sending an extra letter of rec from my business mentor and sent them all the articles that were published about my business.</p>

<p>Get that interview!
Also, Carnegie just started sounding like less of a reach for me. Disregarding freshman GPA shoots my wGPA up by .25 points up to 5.42 and my uwGPA up to a 4.0.</p>
