Your SAT is low for T20s. Immigrating and being low income are not necessarily hooks.
Questions:
What is your cumulative unweighted GPA?
Are you a US citizen or permanent resident, or will you be applying as an international student?
Will you be a first-generation college student?
Have you considered applying to Questbridge?
What can/will your family pay for college per year?
Your SAT will be a barrier to most schools in the Top 20. You don’t mention anything about your grades. How were they?
Also look outside the T20, as you will be applying from a tough demographic group.
