Essays and portfolio are v. important! Make sure you get across what makes you different from all the other people applying. For the supplement essay, I forgot to even mention why CMU and just babbled about architecture. If you can show that it’s something you really want, I think it’ll be a huge boost.

SAT - 2300 on the 3rd try, accepted CMU, VT, Tulane, ND, and UofMN

CMU was the only one of those that I submitted a portfolio to. Got rejected from Cornell, but it was an ED app, and my portfolio (and supplement essay) was atrocious in November–so remember portfolios count!!!
