cmu的ao自己就不建议ed，你看它的ed录取率和rd录取率差不多。 https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/ku26b1/common_misconceptions_carnegie_mellon_university/ ED boosts your chances— ED at CMU actually does NOT boost your chances. There is no difference in acceptance rate, and the admissions office explains that they admit very few students ED. I actually highly highly recommend applying RD, since in the RD round you are able to apply to multiple majors, which is not the case for ED. This does boost your chances, depending on the schools/majors you apply to. For those of you thinking "But I only want to major in X", see bullet 2 under academics. Hooks matter— CMU says that they consider hooks, but they really don't. Race, income, gender, etc. play a very small role in admissions, if any at all. Legacy and interest are not considered. This makes admissions very heavily based on "merit". This also contributes to the pretty abysmal diversity rates in all aspects. However, CMU does provide support for minority groups and first gen students. See bullet 2 under financial aid. Edit: For those of you who don't believe this, see my comment here. This is based on information that I have been told by faculty and college deans. I can only give you the information, you can choose whether to believe it or not. I will not comment on this further. CS is the hardest to get into— False. Acting is the hardest major to get into. ECE is also harder to get into than CS, and Design is of comparable difficulty. IS also used to be equally as difficult as CS. Pretty much all of the acceptance rates— CMU considers your major when you apply, but they list acceptance rates by college. The acting major's 0.6% acceptance rate drastically pulls down School of Drama's average; the ECE major's 5.7% acceptance rate pulls down the College of Engineering's acceptance rate, and so on. Basically, most acceptance rates are simply not true (except those that are listed by major, like IS, Architecture, Design, etc.). It's easy to transfer or "backdoor" your way into a major— Please don't attempt this. Please. Apply to your first choice major, or if you like multiple, apply to the one that is harder to transfer into. Some majors, like CS, ECE, Architecture, etc. Are very difficult to transfer into because of the requirements to get in (you have to finish basically the whole CS core on top of your primary major and do better than ~90% of the students in SCS before even attempting to transfer for CS), there are stringent space limits for majors (the only people who can major in ECE are the ones who were explicitly accepted to that major, transfers are only allowed (no matter how well you do in the required courses) if space is open. Some years there has been a lot of space, other years there have been no spots), and degree requirements (Architecture requires a bunch of studio courses that must come one after the other, so there is no way to transfer in a later year and still graduate on time).................SO basically just apply to the major you want, don't try to get into an "easier" one and then transfer
hook是legacy student, a student-athlete, an underrepresented minority student, a student with a connection to a current or potential university donor, or a very talented student in a specific area (such as superb clarinet player or a chess champion, for example). 有些学校不看legacy比如mit，caltech，cmu

想要进第一梯队学校的本科计算机专业， 比如，斯坦福，伯克利，卡耐基梅隆，孩子的GPA要在多少？
谢谢大家
gpa只是其中一个参考
哈哈， 如果说自己是变性后的同性恋估计被抢着收。
对，差点儿把transgender忘了
很想知道那些学校不是热门的 但是专业还不错的 不必是cs
这个并列第一的4个学校吧 https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/computer-science-overall
伯克利不是一直在这里被大妈们鄙视的么，怎么突然就第一梯队了，感觉好不适应哦～～
或者做个产品出来，创个业什么的，
这不是GPA能决定的事。
正所谓推娃不如推己
要麽幾個M砸下去捐給學校也行
不会吧，知道unweighted GPA不是4.0的，进了MIT CS，GPA也只是考虑的因素之一，不能决定全部。
你这个不知道答案。大家一般就爬藤和斯坦佛/MIT，很多功略。别的学校没人关心，也没什么荣誉。

我知道有台湾人的孩子是他们那个巨大的公立高中的第一名。运动也不错。应该进了sectional. Volunteer 也有。j进了CMU的CS. 后来向他妈妈请教经验。他妈妈说，我们Mike也没啥特别。他就是特别自觉。都是他自己学出来的。然后我就😓。
惊呆，楼主以为那些进不了大藤的孩子是因为GPA不够吗？
“一般孩子ED CMU不太甘心“？
不是不甘心，是很不甘心。别说20名以后的CMU，就是ED 20名以内的范德堡，莱斯，圣母，华大圣路易斯，又有甘心的吗？20名以后的学校更是备胎了。
ED CMU不甘心，感觉一帮美国年轻码农头顶黑线。
谁鄙视了？拉出来溜溜
楼上说的是大实话。确实ED不会浪费在T20以外的学校。CMU很多年连T25都不是吧。
补充一下，👆的条件是针对小中男娃！女娃允许A-和一两个Ｂ+，但也不能太多
spike够大的话，有B也不要紧。
难道不是看专业么？ ed nyu， usc的不少。
“课程A+，州级或国家级竞赛奖项（无论体育或者数学写作音乐之类，Sat 1550”别瞎扯。没有的事。
看优秀程度。优秀的那一批不会把ED浪费在T20以外的学校。
哎，最差州大保底，都放轻松些
没有hook的娃，课程（基本）全A，标考（基本）满分，AP（基本）全5只是必要条件。
S/M/CMU还要有很强的EC。UCB的情况不清楚。
GPA占了60%。
Zan!
GPA 基本要超过4很多才行吧，那也不是充分条件。
大家都说hook, 是指常年大额捐款的那种？如果是，这班上估计也没几个。 一般咱普通人能沾上边的hook是啥情况？只是一般校友啥的，能算吗？
hook是legacy student, a student-athlete, an underrepresented minority student, a student with a connection to a current or potential university donor, or a very talented student in a specific area (such as superb clarinet player or a chess champion, for example).
有些学校不看legacy比如mit，caltech，cmu
总结得好！另外高中要学好数学
谢谢帮助解答。hook还包括第一代大学生和低收入。

对，spike 有时更重要。
我小孩在高中时成绩全A，包括 13 门 AP，PSAT 满分，拿到 national merit 的 2.5K 奖学金。 全年级 600人，总成绩第3，前两两名完成更多的 AP 课（学校了的 AP 不够，得到 college 去拿额外的 AP 课，并且拿到 A，才能进入前几名）。 同年级的一个印度小孩总成绩没进前10名，也没拿到 national merit，但有个高中编程比赛进入 了前 50 名，我小孩才进入前200名，后面那轮被淘汰了。最后印度小孩拿到了 UCB EECS 录取。
我小孩没有拿到 UCB EECS。这个也是他当年唯一选 CS 专业的学校（仰慕 EECS 得声望）。 其他学校他都申请了应用数学，后来拿到 UCLA/CMU/UM/Brown/USC/UCSB 的录取， UCLA/UCSB/UCD 都给了不错的奖学金。因为在加州就去了 UCLA。
不过上面那个去mit的uw GPA 4.2是怎么回事？从来不知道uw可以上4。。。
a+ 4.33， a 4，
nonono, 如果是黑人，GPA会放宽毕业的，参考斯坦福曾经给黑人开小灶，被抗议种族歧视。
如果你的目标是大厂员工，完全没必要卷进这几个学校。加州的话，San José State University 足够。看看它的校友都在哪儿。
对于楼主提到的这几个学校来讲，GPA最多最多能在academic这一项里占60%。除了academic之外还有EC，leadership，teamwork，sports, 肤色，家庭条件，legacy等等等等
高中有什么编程比赛可以参加？
加州割喉高中出来的娃估计可以。大学里的竞争未必有高中上大学的竞争厉害。
是，GaTech招了不少学习成绩一流但缺少花里胡哨的课外活动纯学霸。
请问这种具体案例信息是在哪里找到的？
