<p>1) Retake SAT I for the third and final time. (Colleges will ask for your highest anyway so why not just go for it? No harm.)</p>

<p>2) Please, please, please do not submit SAT Chinese. Colleges do NOT care if you score an 800 on Chinese, let alone a 740. They will be repelled by that.</p>

<p>3) Don't retake ACT. Just do #1.</p>

<p>4) Private colleges require 3 SAT IIs. I only see two, and one shouldn't be used to apply to colleges. (The Chinese one) Replace Chinese with IIC and take another subject test.
You have a shot at UVA, UMAA, and even Brown if you succeed in ^.</p>

<p>I think Chinese is impressive if it's his second language.</p>
