ECs listed on app: football, track, was in 2 clubs, and work

Job/Work Experience: did finances that were really receipts at a family friend's company and also had a job too

Also: Took 2 summer courses at a local comm. college- pysch and creative writing, both got A's. and i also got 4 academic awards (not sure if it means much, but what the hell)

You'll have to apply to a school within CMU (H&SS, engineering, science, business, CS, or architecture) as Undecided. You can't apply to the university itself, as it's the colleges within the university that do the admitting of students.

Your GPA is a bit low, but I think you have a decent chance of getting in, especially to HSS.

thanks guys. i should prob. add in that i've done 2 service projects, and 25+ hours of community service in addition to those 2 projects. and i've also joined the comm. service group thing too.

I got in with a 3.55 GPA from a similarly tough private school to SCS, which is statistically harder to get into. So i don't think the GPA is an issue.

bump for H & SS

will a. having a pretty rigorous courseload help a lot (that's what their recruitor told me)
b. being hispanic
