<p>I want to get a feel for this year's H&SS class in terms of GPA and ACT/SAT score without the laundry list of extracurriculars. I've combed out the H&SS posts on the official CMU decisions thread, but if you haven't posted there, can you post here and let me know? GPA is a big problem for me...haha. I think H&SS's average GPA was around 3.6 unweighted for last year's class, but apparently this year was brutal (as in, very competitive) for all top schools. I understand admissions is holistic, but GPA/test scores are the core of the application.</p>
<p>These are the posts that I found on the decisions thread. </p>

<p>Sweet! I thought that a 3.5 would mean an instant kill, after reading through the decisions thread and seeing 4.0s and 35s get rejected. Seeing this makes me feel somewhat better about my chances, slim as they may be.</p>
<p>thought i’d get this going again!</p>
<p>WOW…that’s a lot of low GPAs…I have a strong chance LOL…</p>
<p>@Telandis - I think the GPA for schools like Tepper and CIT are significantly higher, haha. But I have a pretty low (by CC standards) GPA, and I wanted to see the GPA of admitted students at H&SS for comparison’s sake.</p>
<p>They have statistics for all the schools on their site ull find that very useful. Btw congrats on Brandeis :P</p>
<p>3.66,2220</p>
<p>good luck to all of us (:</p>
<p>@Telandis - Thanks man! And I totally agree! I feel like we’re applying to all the same colleges! Great minds think alike. (:</p>
<p>@dustinthewind - 2220! Niiiice!</p>

<p>By the way is it true that cmu disregards freshman grades?</p>
<p>Hmm…that would be pretty cool. Without frosh grades, I think I’m 3.6x/33 act.</p>
<p>Yeah they do disregard freshman year grades!</p>
<p>Awesome! Then that puts me at more like a 3.9 uw/32 act</p>
