Totally work up your extracurricular activities. CMU has been trying to branch out from the standard 4.0 only students into those that have diverse interests and like to do things outside of the classroom. You need to take advantage of that as much as possible.

Lacking any calculus going into CMU will be a pretty big hurdle to overcome, especially if you want to do engineering/science.
