<p>Ok so I was rejected from CIT for EDI and I decided to apply regular decision for Tepper in Business, IS, and HS&SS for maybe Psychology. The only thing I feel that is hurting me is my SAT scores. They are horrible. Regardless I think I have some strong leadership and EC to make-up for it. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>SAT Scores:
Math 580 Verbal 500
Physics 490 Chem 460 Math1C 570 Writing 540
GPA: 3.65/4.00 (I think that is unweighted...my school does it really weird)
Rank: 11/47 (they rank weird too because people that take easier classes have a higher rank than me. should i let CMU know that?)
School only offers 2 AP course which is AP British Literature in junior year and AP World Literature in senior year or vice versa it depends on what year you are as a junior, but regardless i took AP Brit last year and I am taking AP World Lit this year. My schedule this year consists of:
Honors Psychology/Sociology
Honors Government/Economics
Honors Intermediate Programming in Java
Religion IV
Honors Advanced Biology
AP World Literature
Philosophy(Elective)
Honors Calculus</p>
<p>I am taking 7 solid which is the maximum you are allowed to take and is not recommended to the students to do but I did it anyways to push myself.</p>
<p>I also am going to send 2 more teacher recs and an essay on my community service at the Red Door Program.</p>
