General CMU questions

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I'm thinking about applying to engineering at CMU next year and have a few questions.
Does CMU consider freshmen year grades when calculating GPA? What's the avg. admit's GPA? What's the minimum number of SAT2s required? Does CMU consider grades from Semester 1 of Senior year?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>this from me personal researh, don't quote me.. i'm applying eng, too! what kind? i'm into civil, more structual..</p>

<p>aver GPA : 3.57 (according to yahoo?)
freshman : no idea, i know they won't weight it..
min. SAT 2 : for eng its 2, one math and one science chem or phys
senior: no idea, if you apply EA i don't think its possble..</p>

<p>Not really sure on the type yet -.-</p>

<p>And what do you mean by "they won't weight it"?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>The HS in China only has 3 years, and I think my school could provide only the sophomore, and junior years grades, your freshmen year is equivalent to our last year in middle school. I guess you're probably worried about a couple of bad grades, if that is the case, I would say they won't matter TOO much, as long as your subsequent grades are good.</p>

<p>CMU doesnt use freshman year for calculating GPA...</p>

<p>^^ that's why i got in.</p>

<p>How can their average GPA be so low? Seems odd.</p>

<p>You think programmers have time school..pshhh</p>
