I would say you are a shoe in and ED makes your chances even better. However, you never know for sure because SCS is a very competitive program.

I mostly agree with steeler. But even though you look quite good, SCS is so competitive, I'd imagine they turn down perfect/close to perfect scores, so unless you're a girl it's always an unknown. I hope you're also applying RD to some of the other CMU schools, that is, if you're truly interested.

Your chances are good, no guarantees. That's really all anyone can tell you.

Will they know that GPA is a B average? Or will it just sound like one of those super high GPA's that people get from the honors classes? You know they don't figure freshman grades into the GPA, right?

i'd wager that, with 24000 applicants each year, they know the grading scales inside and out. regardless, i'm relatively sure that they only care about unweighted anyways, for the reports they do on their admissions.
