Hey guys
I am a rising senior living in Silicon Valley and it has always been my dream to study Statistics at CMU or UC Berkeley. This year I will be applying to CMU’s Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences early decision. Now I noticed that the average admitted GPAs for each college are posted on their website.

As of second semester Junior year my cumulative Unweighted GPA is 3.88. The honors and AP courses I have taken include Honors Molecular Bio, Honors Chemistry, Honors English I/II, Honors Physics, Honors Multivariable Calculus, AP French Lang, AP English Lit, AP Chemistry, AP Java, AP Microeconomics, AP Calculus AB, and AP Calculus BC. Next year I will be studying AP Environmental Science or Physics C, AP Stat (of course), AP Government, French Lit and Honors Linear Alg(possibly) but I’ll figure that out soon lol.

I saw that the average accepted GPA to DC was 3.8 however I understand that CMU does not take Freshman Year into Consideration and Freshman year is buffering my GPA a lot.

None of my B’s / B+'s were in my freshman year ( B+ second sem Honors English II Soph year , B+'S Both Sem junior year AP English Lit, B first sem junior year Honors Molecular Bio , B second sem junior year honors physics)

How will this affect my chances ED at CMU? Also do the GPAs on the website include freshman year ? Thanks so much guys I really Appreciate this !
