<p>What’s OSS? You look like you would be a good fit for CMU. My son had similar stats, fewer EC’s but did have some nice computer work experience and a slightly better GPA.</p>

3

<p>Which college?</p>

4

<p>lfecollegeguy, assuming your question was directed at me, School of Computer Science.</p>

<p>OSS is CIA nowadays</p>

6

<p>so, is CMU a good match for me
I want to go the med school later</p>

<p>Mathmom: Nope, was asking the original poster.</p>

<p>CMU doesn’t have a med school unless you meant you want to go to “a” med school later. Having Upitt Med 5 min down the street helps though, as does a 85% acceptance rate into Med.

<p>What is CIA? You mean CIT? Most Premeds are in MCS. Anyways, your chances look good for both CIT and MCS. Good luck.</p>

<p>thanks lfecollegeguy, I meant “a” med school and CIT, but I guess I should be looking at MCS</p>
