<p>How important are the main factors of a college application? What if a student's GPA is about a 3.5 but has everything else high?</p>
<p>And can the ACT be sent in addition to the SAT?</p>
<p>CMU is holistic in its admissions so there is no cutoff for any quantitative measures. It also depends on what school you apply to. SCS and Tepper care more about GPA than CFA which may care more about your audition or your portfolio. A 3.5 Unweighted or Weighted? </p>
<p>Either way you will still be competitive with lots of APs at a relatively good high school and a high SAT plus good essays/recs/E.C.'s </p>
<p>Yes, I believe you can send in both tests.</p>
