Well a friend of mine was accepted into Carnegie Mellon with very similar sat scores(high math,low reading/writing), about a 3.1 UW gpa(he had a much higher weighted gpa), and pretty strong EC's.

Hi, I'm also applying to Northeastern and Carnegie Mellon! I recommend you retake the SATs and aim for at least 2150. Your chances at CMU also depend on which school you're applying to; for example, Tepper's acceptance rate was really low (like 10%) while MCS was much higher (a bit higher than 25%). Overall I think you can get into your matches and safeties, and a good shot at CMU if you get at least 2150 on the SATs. Good luck!
