<p>How much easier is it to get into CMU with sports credentials? When I apply (in 2-3 months) I will most definitely be in contact with coaching staff at Carnegie Mellon, specifically cross country/track. My ACT is 30 cum with writing being 10/12 (I know this is sub par for CMU). So, I am wondering how much easier it is to be accepted into Carnegie Mellon granted that you will be participating in their DIII varsity athletics? </p>
<p>I am asking this because I have talked to some people who play varsity sports and they say their admissions process was much simpler than others they have spoken to. Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.</p>
