<p>Hello, I am going to be a junior in high school and am wondering how I can improve my chances at getting into cmu. </p>

<p>White Female, CA
Private Catholic High School</p>

<p>SAT AND ACT: ?</p>

<p>GPA: 3.5 W</p>

<p>7 AP/H classes (1 self study)
Comunity College: completed 12 units</p>

<p>ECs:
newpaper: 4 years: news editor & editor in chief, received the Writers Award 4 years in a row
Girl Scouts: 13 years: Silver & Gold Award
Volunteer at Science Museum: 4 years: 200 hours
Volunteer with mentally disabled children: 4 years: 200 hours
President of school club: 4 years</p>

<p>Work Experience:
I MAY have an internship next summer at Scripps Institute in neuroscience.</p>

<p>Prospective major: neuroscience/cognitive science/psychology</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>It would be hard to advise without SAT or ACT scores, or approximate class rank.</p>

<p>I am scoring about 2200 on practice SAT tests.
hoping to boost my score.</p>

<p>With the exception of math (could be 1 level higher), I am taking the most rigorous courses available. My grades are the largest worry because I had a terrible sophomore year and got a D in algebra II. I am now taking the equivilance at a cc along with bio, and biotech.</p>
