I think CMU is one of a handful of schools that excuses freshman year but I’m not totally sure. Ds and Fs though, I’d probably write a short explanation, or have your GC do it. I would think they realize 14 year olds can have issues…I think it’s commendable that you’ve rebounded and are working to your potential (unfortunately I’m not on the admissions committee!).

I second mathmom…spend some time self-studying for the Physics SATII.

If next fall you’re still sure on CMU why not apply ED and CalPoly RD if CMU doesn’t work out or if you’re deferred…I believe you’ll have no problem getting into SLO and you definitely have a chance for CMU.
