Hi, I will be applying to CMU’s school of engineering for RD.

Keep in mind that I am well aware that this is a reach school. I just want to know how I stand. Thanks!

GPA: 3.67 UW
Top 5% of class.
Took 7 APs and the most challenging schedule offered by my school (one of three students taking the most difficult schedule, if that matters.)

ACT: 31 comp; 34 eng; 31 math; 31 rding; 29 sci

SAT 1930 ss (I know I did bad on it–but I did do better on the ACT, of course.)

SAT2s: 680 M2; 660 Phys.

*Retook SAT2s in December and expect low 700s on both.

No hooks that I know of.

Slightly above average HS in suburb.

Good ECs and good essays.
