~thks to all</p>
<p>As it stands now, your list is very top-heavy. If you achieve your SAT goal, its not too bad since your class rank is very good - but if you don't, you are looking at a very risky admissions strategy. </p>
<p>Contact CMU and ask about the physics requirement. I don't know if they make any exceptions. </p>
<p>One big factor with the state schools is where you life - UNC and UVA are particularly difficult for out of state applicants. At this point, adding even just one likely admit school (at your current stats) would make your stategy a lot less problematic.</p>
<p>I think raising SATs 300 points is pretty optimistic, it might not be too realistic. </p>
<p>Your class rank should save the day but the only safe school imo is BU, I'd call it safe/match. I'd look for a "safer" school to add to your list.</p>
<p>You can call the East Coast when you 1st wake up (before you go to school). They should be up & running at that hour & you should be able to speak with someone who can answer your questions. Failing that, you can e-mail them or call them on a cell phone during recess or lunch from school. By the way, I've not heard of many folks raising their SAT scores by 300 points, but good luck!</p>
<p>email doesnt work, and phone just keeps going to answering machine,wat to do, days are going by and this is really bothering me. CMU is my 1st choice and now im having 2nd thoughts because of tat physics requirement</p>

<p>Leave a message on the answering machine & ask them to call back at a time which will work for you, like 6:30 am West Coast time (9:30 PA time), to speak with someone about your concerns and questions. One phone number for the College of Admissions there is (412)268-2082.</p>
<p>I don't understand why e-mail won't work, generally it works pretty well for most folks.</p>
<p>your SAT scores are a bit low for where you are applying. If you reach the 2200 goal you have, then you should be set. I haven't heard of anybody improving their score that much tho... And you might want to take another science SATII since your chem score wasn't outstanding. You should be okay for Boston, CMU, UVA, and JHU. Just check what I posted on your other thread about the physics thing.</p>
<p>As I said above, leave a message. Most colleges are good about replying to the messages they receive. If they don't reply, that tells you something about the school as well & perhaps gives you insight about how you may be treated as a student.</p>
