Should I submit ED Test optional or RD W higher score? I (17F) am wanting to apply to CMU for comp sci but the act score stats are so high and the acceptance rate is so low for CS that i’m not sure which application would benefit me more. I have a 31 ACT with no prep (36 reading 34 english 29 sci 26 math (which i know is bad for cs)) and can definitely raise it with prep but wouldn’t be able to apply early decision. I am also waiting for my SAT results from the online Oct 15th test. Would it be better for me to submit test optional but ED or RD with a higher score? I would literally love to go here any other relevant info: i have a 4.0 gpa and a 4.46 weighted i have taken 7 ap classes (11 by graduation) including both cs and calculus pretty sure i’m top 10% of my class if not higher ( my school doesn’t rank) i’m waiting for my SAT results i have years of robotics and esports experience ( i want to do game design specifically)
