Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.
You are a strong student, but CMU is a real stretch. CS admits 5%, and their average SAT is 800 Math 770 verbal
Should I not submit my SAT score then, since CMU is test optional now. Will going test-optional hurt me significantly?
Have you looked into Case Western, Emory, USC? Your profile better matches them, and they are excellent schools
I looked into schools that are similar and have already applied to them, such as Umich and UFlorida.
