Do I stand a chance to get in?

<p>Well…</p>

<p>I signed up for early decision, had an ON CAMPUS interview. I was honest concerning where I was at in terms of scores. I didn’t make excuses. The adcom asked me to submit a supplemental activities resume. I sent that to her a few weeks later in the mail.</p>

<p>Also, I spent a month writing the essays.</p>

<p>I wrote about a parapsychological organization that I own, and how even though im criticized for it, I stay true to my goals and aspirations.</p>

<p>The other essay was why I wanted to go to carnegie mellon.
I was straight to the point here- no introduction, no conclusion. I split up the essay question into 3 different ones. Why CMU, why engineering, and why electrical engineering. I wrote about 2 paragraphs about each, and used a lot of metaphors to describe the way I think. If your why CMU? essay can apply to any other university, you’ve done it wrong.</p>

<p>I guess I had what they were looking for.</p>
