<p>As some of the above posters have pointed out, Asian is not considered a URM. You (or whoever this person is) seem to have done well even in the face of huge obstacles and that should be commended. However, a more realistic group of colleges should be considered. A 1600 basically guarantees that you won’t get into any of the universities listed. Being in New York look into Syracuse and the SUNYs. Given your statistics you should get into a decent amount and be given a substantial financial aid package.</p>
