Re:#2 - The OP is already a senior, and so casually suggesting that he or she “aim for 2200+” borders on cruel. Do you know anyone taking the SAT who wouldn’t like to receive that score? The probability of a 200+ score increase in a single seating is quite small; a 100-point increase is cause for elation. Princeton and Columbia are extreme reaches for everyone, and would remain so even if the OP’s score were to increase by more than 200 points… I’m afraid that the SAT score probably removes this candidate from the competition there. NYU (other than Stern) is a match, if the OP and family can pay for it. UCB is a plausible reach, since they pay more attention to grades than to test scores, but the SAT score is still a weakness for them. UVA is a mid-reach/high match if the OP is a VA resident; it’s a reach from out-of-state.

I will presume that the OP has a state college, or some other safeties. His or her list as specified above would be risky with a 2300+ SAT.
