See...I think the major point that got me into Carnegie Mellon was my enormous loadout of activities. I've been on the school's robotics team and school newspaper staff for 4 years, working myself up the ladder to leadership in both places. I also edged myself into positions here and there, and then I got recommendation letters from the teachers for these organizations. Realistically, my SAT scores and GPA are subpar (2110 and 3.65) compared to the other people who got in with me.
The SAT score doesn't matter all that much. In fact, if you look on the essays and recommendation letters you'll probably get a leg up over those people who really fretted over their scores without caring those little details.
