<p>What are my chances of getting in? Any help is GREATLY appreciated. CMU has and will always be my dream college.</p>

<p>Very interesting resume. Did you do ED? If not, make sure you do EDII (I assume they still do that). Show lots of interest. I know you are in India, but visit if you can. CMU has a degree granting location (masters level) in Chennai India. Can you get there?</p>

<p>thank you @Kaukana,</p>

<p>I have already applied to CMU through ED. i have posted this so because i am basically loosing my mind thinking if i will get in or not. I have really dreamt big, and i really hope to get in.</p>

<p>Go Tartans!
The chennai tie-up is just for engineering. I am not interested in engineering.</p>

<p>Sorry but your scores are below average for asians and CSC applicants. You have a better chance at MIT than at CSC.</p>
