I apologize if this is harsh, but here's what I see.

Start by moving the first section's text up higher, so it doesn't start obscured by the background.

Then, remove the annoying JavaScript from the downvote button that prevents you from clicking it. (You might also consider not using Facebook's thumb icon for this.)

Finally, reconsider why you want to attend CMU. "Code" is what 1st year students learn. Computer Science is what 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year students study. You've not told us how you will benefit CMU, or how attending CMU will improve you, but that you can write code. Good for you (sincerely) - but that's not what a Computer Science education is all about. You want to learn CS, but why? What are your goals?

Let's be honest, how many of us really understood what Computer Science @ CMU was before 15-251 ;)

Coding is the reason I was interested in Computer Science and I also happened to like what Computer Science was after diving into the major. It's totally fine for a high schooler to have this view, I think we forget what high school us really looked like back then. It's almost impossible for most high schoolers to understand all of the theory and mathematics that comes with the major.

From a current CMU student, best of luck to you Alex!

Thanks very much!

No please reserve no judgement! The icons are part of an open source set online (yes styled to look like facebook's though). This is all great advice. I'll definitely be adding better content to the site

You never answered the question.

I think he was speaking rhetorically, as in his being good questions to consider for writing good content. Nevertheless, I will update the website. If you're really that interested in my answer to his question I can post it here as well.
