Welcome to cc. Happy new year greetings(:
U dont have to apply to colleges jst bcoz you are feared of rejections…
that usually comes, but you can shine your application in lot more ways.
Make sure that your essays,and other supplemental information are really good.
you have ec as well. thats a plus point (+) .
Also your teacher recommendations should sound very good, as thts another component admission officers look upon.
If you are still planning to highly selective colleges with these scores there is no harm,make sure the rest of components (for app) are neatly organized.if you are planning to apply for college in fall 2011,then you can retake your SAT(upto you).You can have pretty good scores (:
but here is my suggestion: dont worry abt rejection, you or me or anyone(except admission officers) cant chance you…go ahead applying to these colleges, at the same time keep one or two list of safety schools l. If you are so determined to go to these colleges listed alone, then you need to consider other requirements of applications.
Not scores alone can determine your chances of getting into above colleges.

There is a major misconception about applying to these highly selective colleges…many of us think just the scores matter…and they dont consider applying just bcoz they are feared that they wont be offered a place…but this aint true…you still have consider applying…
and acceptance/rejections comes the way like they ought to be.
u aint know still with few low scores you can reach out to the ivies, ,may be bcoz you have some other impressing components in the app.
so dont let this misconception prevent you or anyone from applying to these top notch

Good luck!!
