<p>Stats are similar to mine (3.7, 2110), I had similar ECs as well, not as many APs though (5,5,4,4,3,3) = accepted at CMU. </p>

<p>Really pull up your GPA senior year. Relate your ECs relevantly in your essay, and I'd say you're a match for CMU. Definitely at least as good a chance as I had. </p>

<p>The great thing about CMU is you can apply to multiple schools: I applied to Tepper and the CAS, got waitlisted at Tepper, got accepted at CAS. So, apply to the schools you think you'll like, if you don't get into architecture but get into the main school or another, you can always do an internal transfer later on. The more you know!</p>

<p>Hope this helps</p>
