Since you’ve already made it clear in the Chicago thread that Chicago is your “dream school” seems you got your answer already.

You also got a ton of advice in the MIT thread-- without AP classes-- whatever the reason, your program of study is not strong enough for either CMU or MIT with an intent to study CS.

Regarding financial aid–CMU doesn’t aim to meet unmet need-- you can read this on their webpage and in previous responses to the CMU board by many posters.
