<p>wow you really should take that again. 1080 is a really bad score, no offense. try studying all summer and taking it again in October or something. what do you mean "i just test bad"? i don't understand that.</p>
<p>Take a look at the profiles here. As far as I recollect, no one got in with those SATs. Even for Design, they want higher SATs by at least an extra 100-150 points.</p>
<p>It's true that CMU has said that they don't admit solely on GPA and SAT scores;however, you would have to have some amazing other stuff going for you besides GPA if your SATs were that low.</p>
<p>You might try taking the ACT and see if you do better - some people do. I agree that you'd have to have some fantastic hooks to get past your current scores. Is there a reason you test badly? If you have a documented LD that the College Board won't accommodate your GC might be able to write about mitigating circumstances.</p>
