Are lower-than-average SAT scores looked down upon?

When admissions sees lower than average SAT scores, does the application get a read anyway? Or do they automatically stop? I know someone who scored below 2000 on the SAT and still goes to Columbia, but I’m not sure how strict Columbia admissions officers are in general?

I’m retaking the SAT in Nov, so I don’t know if my application will be read before they receive my new scores.
