Sorry, but you have absolutely NO CHANCE of admission to any ivy league school with a 1250 SAT, as that test score indicates you could not handle the reading, writing and math workload at a school like Yale, Princeton, Harvard, MIT, Stanford etc.

Don’t believe me? Harvard is a bit more forthcoming than Yale, but look at Harvard’s golf recruitment page and read what they expect from a golf recruit: http://www.gocrimson.com/sports/mgolf/faq

For our initial evaluation of golf prospects we typically look for individual SAT I & II scores above 700 and/or ACT scores above 33. We would like to see grades above 3.80 (unweighted) on a 4.0 scale or the equivalent while taking a rigorous course load.

That’s 700 on the old 3-part SAT (2100+), or the equivalent of 1470+ on the new SAT. If those requirements are needed for a golf recruit, you can be assured they are also needed for an academic applicant like yourself Harvard. It’s the same at YPSM.

You need to boost your SAT score to 1500+ to be competitive international applicant at a school like Yale. So,yes you should retake the SAT and apply in the RD round, as applying in the SCEA round with a 1250 SAT will likely result in a deferral or outright rejection.
