<p>your SAT scores are low for the typical ivy league asian male. HOWEVER, they're not horrible. You'd have to right a jaw dropping essay inorder to get into columbia, harvard, princeton, stanford, and Upenn.</p>

<p>Cornell is definitely possible.</p>

<p>Georgetown and NYU are more likely.</p>

<p>Rutgers is your safety</p>

<p>good luck :)</p>

<p>Thanks man.</p>

<p>I plan to retake the SAT in October and try to get between 2150-2200.</p>

<p>Does that improve my chances or not really?</p>

4

<p>scoring a 2200 would improve anyone's chances.</p>

<p>work on your SATs and then you'll be fine. SATs have to increase, though.</p>

<p>good luck!</p>
