<p>SAT 740 M 660 V

254 Vector Calc I (A)
255 Vector Calc II (A)
315 Analysis
341 Linear Algebra I (A)
342 Linear Algebra II (A)
346 Number Theory</p>
<p>The ones without grades I haven't finished or taken yet, but I am going to. Other college classes:
211 Physics (A)
212 Physics</p>
<p>I was expecting to be rejected from SCS, wasn't sure about CIT, but I thought I would get in to MCS for math.</p>

GPA:no idea, several B's, one C
SAT: 720 M, 680 V

Recs: my cs teacher showed me her rec, and it looked really good
no interview either</p>
<p>just goes to show stats don't mean s***, I took all of those tests once and yeah, don't really do homework unless I like the subject.</p>
<p>I have read somewhere on a CC thread that they can't make you go if you decide not to. You would lose your deposit though. </p>
<p>If you should decide not to go, I would assume there will be others on the Priority List that will be happy to take your spot if you give it up.</p>

<p>Well I was on their PWL until yesterday. Honestly, I was really surprised I even got on the list. Perhaps it was a few of my ECs, but I've always felt like they were pretty typical compared to everyone else's. Also, while I was on the PWL, I wrote a letter to the Admiss. Office (hopefully that helped); if you want, I could post it for you. :)</p>
<p>ahh fudge. I think I deleted it already. Sorry.
but it was basically another essay from my college applications, just jazzed up and personalized.</p>
<p>Accepted to HS&S. lol sad thing is, CMU didn't begin to spark my interest into WAAY after i applied, but it feels like home <em>and i've NEVER been there!!</em>
haha. my stats are horrible!!! I guess they saw through the grades and saw my potential... I dont know how else i could have gotten in

Anything Special: family situation? my mom died when i was young and my dad is my only parent with severe health problems. i also had a really bad freshman year, but totally rebounded and came back with a 4.0 my senior year!
Essay- My essay was alright. nothing special. I didn't say what i really wanted to, so i did that in my letter to the school when i was PWL
PHONE CALL - uhm, when? i got one a while ago, and i got one when i got in off PWL, but uhm, not since the student ones.</p>
<p>honestly, i'm suprised they gave me a second look, and even more suprised i got in. i don't know. it was so unexpected i'm still in shock, but really glad, because i hear its really competitive and thats what i thrive in. anyway, enough blabbering. Congrats everyone!!!</p>

Essays: I really busted my ass over writing a good essay. Although I have to admit I could have done better. The one I wrote for PWL was really good though.
EC: Chorus, Performing Arts Production,Musical Theatre, Bowling Team, Treasurer of Japanese Club, VP of FBLA, Treasurer of Creative Writing, Mu Alpha Theta, A Founder (Music Director) of Faith Based Productions, 4 hours of church community service...and the list goes on...I did A LOT in highschool.
Rec: I think they were really good, My Japanese Teacher (who i have a close, close relationship with) wrote one and my AP English teacher wrote the other. </p>
<p>After reading this thread though, I'm embarrased over the academic merit a lot of you have. I did way too much afterschool to excel very much in school. </p>
<p>I didn't do an interview but got a phone call (wasn't there to answer it).</p>
<p>i have a random question. So i was accpeted under a psych major, can i transfer to business..? Blah. Not knowing what you want to do really sucks!</p>
<p>If you're placed on the waitlist, the decision letter would ask whether or not you want to be placed on the priority and/or regular waiting list.</p>

<p>I've searched the CMU site heavily. There's something called internal transfers and depending on each Department, there's different things you have to do to be considered for an internal transfer from one school to the other.</p>
<p>I've been volunteering at a local retirement center since 8th grade, started a Game Night, Barbeque Tuesdays, and a Senior Citizen Workout Program. Through out high school, I was in SRSEC (my school's community service club) and now I'm the secretary; NHS; Peer Mediation; Library Council; Book Discussion; Tennis; I also help out at my Guidance Office; Math League; and I'm the president of SAVE (Students Against Violence Everywhere). Not very impressive compared to all the other ones I've read about on this forum...</p>
<p>Now I know it's true how you never know what school you'll get into, so I wouldn't worry CMU243 :)</p>
