EDII and some other questions

[sabeg]

<p>if you get rejected from Ed2,,,
do you have to send another app to be considered in RD? or would you be put into RD automatically?
i applied ED2 and started worrying b/c of my horrible sat scores
and gpa from fresh.yr</p>

<p>my specs are: 750math 500reading 600writing 640chem 740ic 760iic
gpa: 2.98fresh 3.78soph 3.89junior (so it's about 3.54)
taken about 2~3honors in soph and junior yrs and taking 3aps and 1h classes this yr. all gpas are uw (for some weird reasons, my school doens't give weighed gpa i dunno why) and i chose not to show my rank on transcript b/c it was like 50th out of 170</p>

<p>i'm applying to tepper</p>

<p>one more question, my gpa in fresh yr is gorrible,,,but it's been going up constantly. I read something on this website that cmu doesn't look at freshmen year gpa like UMich. Is that true? and it it isn't, will my gpa from 9th grade kill my admission chance at cmu?</p>

<p>thank you</p>

<p>I wouldn't worry too much about your grades from freshman year. From what I have observed, and to what I can attest (I had poor freshman grades in high school), CMU doesn't put much emphasis on them. Your ninth grade gpa certainly won't kill your chances of admission, and it is foolish to even think that. They definitely will acknowledge your improvement.</p>
