Is Carnegie-Mellon University that hard of a school to enter?
Asked by ThezGuyI have been lookin at colleges to enter for the future, and I always caught my eye on Carnegie. It has all my needs of a career there and its a great schol. Plus, its far enough away from my parents so they wont bother me. But people have been tellin me that its such a dificult schol to get through. Is it true?

It's a very difficult school to gain admissions to. It's currently ranked #22 by U.S. News and World Report, and that's pretty darn high. They have top notch programs in engineering, fine arts, and business, and the rest of their programs are also very desirable. Whether or not you get in is determined by several factors: GPA, class rank, SAT scores, essay, recommendations, etc. It also depends on which school you are applying to. For example, the Tepper School of Business has a 13% acceptance rate, while the school of Humanities and Social Sciences has a 34% acceptance rate. Good luck.
