<p>Do you think I have a chance to be accepted to this school, if you believe I can get accepted and that there is a high possibility, what do you I will get in regards to financial aid/scholarships (Parents combine to make less then 80,000 dollars a year)</p>

<p>What school are you applying to within CMU?</p>

3

<p>the business school if there is one</p>

<p>So you would be looking at Tepper which is very competitive. Your SAT scores are probably in the top 25% of admits which is really good. Your GPA should be fine because of the upward trend and I think they only use the last 3 years of high school to calculate GPA so your cumulative GPA is probably better then you say it is.</p>

<p>If your taking the most difficult courses offered in your high school or close to the most difficult course load then I would say you’re chances of being accepted are very high.</p>

<p>They might be a little confused because your honors classes are in english and history, but CMU is a more math/science school. Have you taken any advanced classes in math? That would probably help.</p>

<p>From a fellow, future CMU swimmer, be sure to speak with the swim coach if you’ve got some good times!</p>

<p>The UAA conference website, here:
[UAA</a> Men’s Swimming & Diving Update](<a href=“http://www.uaa.rochester.edu/Weekly_Sport_Updates/MSWIM_Update.html]UAA”>http://www.uaa.rochester.edu/Weekly_Sport_Updates/MSWIM_Update.html) should give you an idea of some goal times/if you’d fit in the team.</p>

<p>Being recruited always helps… if anything it shows that you’re committed to what you do and diverse enough to not just do academics.</p>
