Chance, Please!

<p>Currently CMU is my first choice school, and I want to get into the Communication Design program. </p>

<p>SAT superscore: 2210
Math: 750
Reading: 680
Writing: 780</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 (on 4 point scale, unweighted)
Class Rank: 3rd of a class of ~500 (top ~.5%)</p>

<p>EC:

  • 3 years of experience doing design work for school board candidates, community organizations, local bands, and other clients.
    *- Editor-in-Chief and Creative Director of school yearbook staff
    -NHS member
    -Spanish honor society member
  • Member of school’s gifted program</p>

<p>Senior Year Courses:

  • AP English 12 (Literature and Composition)
  • AP Spanish 5
  • AP World History
  • Probability and Statistics
  • Drawing & Design 1
  • Yearbook 2</p>

<p>Even though my course load looks really small and I will have quite a few study halls, all of that time will need to be used for yearbook production since we are applying a much more advanced level of design to this year’s book and I will be doing most of that work, as well as organizing and planning the staff, editing pages, and grading work. </p>

<p>As well as chancing me, I would appreciate it if you could tell me whether or not I should take any SAT II’s and if so which ones.</p>

<p>Good chance. I would say it is likely but obviously no guarantee. Good luck!</p>
