<p>All I can say is make sure you improve every one of your grades this fall. Your board scores seem fine, but if you can you might want to take some SAT Subject Tests. I would find the answers to these questions a.s.a.p.: </p>
<p>-Are there any teachers that you have had that can speak well of you? </p>
<p>-Are there any people outside of school who can attest to your intellect, ability or character? </p>
<p>-Do you think you can make an impressive resume for yourself? </p>
<p>If you can say yes to all of these things, and if you can write an excellent personal statement, I think you could be in decent shape. </p>
<p>Even if CMU defers you from early admission, they will get a mid-year report from your school. If your grades improve significantly and you take advantages to polish yourself up, you have a greater chance of being accepted in the regular pool.</p>
