Which colleges should I be aiming for?

<p>I'm an international student but hopefully funding will not be an issue.</p>

<p>I'm predicted 'AAA' for my A2 examinations (British A Level system) and achieved 2A* 8A at GCSE. </p>

<p>Unfortunately, I only achieved 1960 on my SAT (total from second sitting).</p>

<p>Maths: 580
CR: 650
Writing: 730</p>

<p>It's just the maths that bringing me down but that's an issue because I intend on studying economics :/ My ACT score is still pending but I think it will be around this range. I'm doing SAT II (Maths II and Physics) in November</p>

<p>It's just different to what I'm used to in school. If I get a good SAT II maths 2 score and achieve an 'A' on A Level maths, will it make up for my poor SAT I score? What about if I redo the SAT I in December and bring my maths score up? Will universities super score it? If that's the case, do I stand a chance at the lower ivies? What about state schools like Michigan or Berkeley? </p>

<p>My extra curriculars are solid, not spectacular. Not much in terms of sports or music, I've played for the school hockey team, that's about it. I do a bit of sailing but nothing noteworthy.</p>

<p>It's more in terms of volunteer work, charity work, gold DOE award - including community work in Mauritius, MUN director, work experience, reading etc. </p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>
