<p>Course load is the most difficult that my school offers. For all four years (meaning all honors and AP work)</p>
<p>EC’s (probably the weakest part)</p>
<p>Environmental/Science club (president, 9-12)
Girls’ Varsity Tennis (9-12)
Math Team (9-12)
National Honor Society (10-12)
Hospital volunteer (9-10, ~200 hours)</p>
<p>Work (16 hours a week, hospital food service)</p>
<p>I’m also love drawing/painting. I may or may not submit the supplementary form.</p>
<p>I’m thinking of majoring in bio or chem. Perhaps on a pre-med track. And I’m going RD.</p>
<p>Thanks for any input!</p>
<p>Also, how skewed is the male to female ratio at MCS?</p>
<p>Per the colleboard stats:</p>
<p>38% Women
62% Men </p>
<p>So almost 2 to 1 male to female ratio.</p>
<p>The factbook (<a href=“http://www.cmu.edu/ira/facts2005/2005%20Fact%20Book%20Revised%20Version.pdf[/url]”>http://www.cmu.edu/ira/facts2005/2005%20Fact%20Book%20Revised%20Version.pdf</a>) says that in 2005 MCS was 44% female; there were more females than males in biology and chemistry and a bunch more males than females in math and physics.</p>
<p>The factbook page 2.35 Distribution of Students By Housing Type Level and Gender Fall 2004 shows total undergraduates of 5,389, with females 2,120 (39%) and Males 3,269 (61%). This is an overall ratio of undergraduate females to males so I guess it’s about 2 to 3 females to males.</p>
<p>Like some one noted earlier this bucks the nationwide trend of more females to males. Most non technical schools run low 50% females to high 40% males.</p>
<p>I agree with what you say, hsseniorlooking, but Acrylicz asked specifically about MCS, not about CMU as a whole.</p>
<p>What would be my chances for MCS based of the stats?</p>
<p>I think you have a fairly good shot with your current SAT scores because of how good your grades are, but try to increase both your SAT I and II to 700+ and you should be in very good shape.</p>
<p>Thanks bachovchin! Anyone else?</p>
<p>The Math SAT range for admitted students in 2006 (mid-50 %) was 680-770. Based on your current scores then, I think your chances are slim. You’d also have to improve your Math II scores.</p>
<p>I think the GPA and overall SAT makes up for the lower math scores especially since she is doing something sciency and her SAT II Chem reflects her ability to do well in such a field.</p>
<p>Agreed. As you stand now, your chances definitely are not slim, but if you could raise your SAT I and II math scores to 700+ each, your chances would be very, very strong.</p>
