Mines' reputation is built on sounding like an elite school, and because of that, many people are intimidated and "don't want to waste their time" by submitting an application to them. This is all a total load of BS. CSM is no harder to get in than CU or CSU's engineering program. In fact, I actually had a HS friend get rejected by CSU, and accepted by Mines.
You want to get in, send in an application, that simple. Getting in is the easy part, its making it out the first year. The attrition rate for freshmen is close to 15-20% in their first year, and recent statistics have shown that almost a third of a freshmen class will have dropped out by the fourth year. I think this drop out rate is due mostly to people either being bored or overwhelmed. Again, I reiterate, this is not a hard school, it is just one that passes itself off as an elite and challenging school!

To get into CSM I was an athlete, involved citizen with lots of community service, 30 ACT, 1550 SAT and overall - very well rounded - and valedictorian of my highschool. - i didnt do all of this to go to CSM though. I got into some ivy leagues, but decided that i like my money and wanted to spend less of it...
two of my roomates though never took the SAT's, got a 24 on the ACT's - but the thing you got to know about CSM is that its not getting in thats rough, its staying there that's key.

If you'd like to get in, send an application. Don't be discouraged because of low test scores. I had a 4.0 GPA in high school, but my ACT was a 26, and I didn't take the SAT's. The application is quick and easy to fill out, and the tours should be helpful in deciding if Mines is right for you. Its a small school, and the faculty to student ratio is really good. The lecture sizes never exceed about 150, and once you get past the core classes, the sizes are about 15-30 students.

Application with ACT or SAT, that's all you need.
Computer Science
I suggest getting good grades. Extra curriculars are lightly considered and no essay is required for admissions. It is very objective. You are either a good enough student to be considered or not (notice, I didn't say "smart", you must be one of the people who can deal with the system as well as be intelligent).

I worked hard at math and science classes. I also did science experiments and research outside of school on my own to get a better understanding of interesting material.

Admission was relatively straightforward. Get good grades and decent SAT scores, then apply. No essays!
Mechanical Engineering
To get in all you have to do is apply. There are no essays, and the interview is optional. The application is rolling, which means if you allpy in september you will know if you have been accepted by november.
