<p>The reason I am asking this is because my Freshmen GPA is 3.8-3.9, My sophomore grade is 3.3, and my upcoming Junior is most likely going to be 3.8-4.0. If they take out Freshmen, Im done for!</p>
<p>Yes, that’s what the college rep told us and I believe it’s also on their website. I’m not sure you are out of the game though.Concentrate on improving and keep it going senior year. What major?</p>
<p>They ignore your freshman grades IF, and only if, they don’t significantly help your overall GPA. I’ve heard this from every adcom I talked to, so you’re probably fine.</p>
<p>Electrical Engineering, Although I would suffice with Mech. I just read a post from a representative of CMU and he/she said “In some cases we will weigh freshman grades more heavily when looking at special circumstances (health issues, drop off or increase in grades, etc.)”</p>
<p>Hopefully they do consider them, I was ready to do ED on RPI instead. 
FategoneAwry16, seeing as you post a lot on CMU and will be attending their, you must know much of the place. My question is, If I do early decision, would it even help doing an interview or would it be redundant in showing interest.</p>
<p>Another CMU student walking by…</p>
<p>Of course it would help doing an interview! If you have an opportunity to do an interview, definitely do it.</p>
<p>@darkaeroga, I see someone’s a Square Enix fan like me :D</p>
<p>Anyway, you should definitely do an interview even if you’re applying ED. CMU really cares about demonstrated interest so visit campus, do a campus/local info session, and do an interview (try to get one with an admissions officer as those count more than alumni interviews).</p>
This is the ONLY school that I’ve heard of that does this!! Why??? My DS took two honors math (Alg2H/TrigH) and two sciences (bio/chem) in 9th grade and got a 4.0 - I hope 9th grade’s GPA is not overlooked! With junior level classes as a sophomore this year (physics honors, AP CS and AP Calc BC) he’s now an A/B student. Hopefully the choice to challenge himself won’t hurt his admissions because he’s a gifted student who’s curriculum has been accelerated, otherwise that 4.0 would have been in 10th grade! ugh.
