<p>I’m experiencing a bit of culture shock when I hear you say that your school does not have a good track record sending kids to the Ivies. Seems good to me. I came from a large public school in TN. 1700+ kids, and in twenty years not one of them had gone to an Ivy.</p>
<p>Back to the subject at hand, I’d say you should definitely retake the SAT and bring it up to part with your PSAT score. IMO @sallymeno11’s disgust was misplaced; your SAT score is a bit lacking for Asian applicants in the Ivy League (and many of the other schools you’re applying to as well).</p>
<p>She is right, however, that raising your SAT will most likely not be enough in itself. As an Asian applicant with those ECs, you should brace yourself for a rejection from HYP even if you manage a perfect 2400. Your academics are great, but your extracurricular achievement not extraordinary.</p>
<p>(Side note: I really wish your ethnicity was not a factor. Can’t help that.)</p>
<p>Anecdote time: I was rejected from H and Y with a 35 ACT, 2330 SAT II, perfect GPA, and better EC’s by my estimation. Also I am white. Good friend of mine rejected H and UChicago with 36 ACT, salutatorian at the best public school in our state, good internships and publication in a science journal. She was Asian. Accepted and attending Yale though.</p>
<p>Not saying you won’t make it, but from experience I can say that applications like yours do get rejected often. Make sure you account for that when choosing mid and low-fit schools.</p>
