<p>My CMU essay is pretty bad, and my personal statement is basically mediocre. How much does CMU care about that? I have decent stats, with a 2290 SAT (800M, 770CR, 720W), and 800s on Writing, Chemistry, Physics, and Math IIC. I also have some science awards like Siemens Westinghouse Regional finalist and semifinalist and ISEF finalist. I have a lot of research experience and I went to the Research Science Institute at MIT this past summer. I will probably send them 1 of my papers that has to do with CS the most.</p>
<p>I’m applying for CIT under ECE, and SCS second choice.</p>
<p>Basically I guess this is a chances post given that my essays suck.</p>
