<p>I would say your chances are fairly good, I would call it a match. My guess is that the ORM part will hurt you a little, but the first generation thing will probably compensate.</p>

3

<p>Depends what school at CMU. Comp Sci = reach, but college probably a match.</p>

4

<p>I wanna do a major in mechanical or civil and a minor in cello to boost my gpa HAHA
Anyone else??</p>

5

<p>I think Carneige is a low reach for you. EDing will definitely boost your chances. Good luck and chance me back!</p>
