Horrible SAT scores... :(

I am an international student applying to transfer to colleges in the United States. I currently attend the top university in the whole of Asia (THES ranking). The colleges that I’m applying to require SAT which is why I rushed to make a late registration for SAT and only had 1 week to prepare for it (Jan SAT is the last that colleges will accept). It is pretty foreign to me I guess…

I’ve only managed to get 1860 with 670M 610CR. I usually get 800M and 670CR in practice tests… I totally bombed the real SATS…

Will it ruin my chances COMPLETELY?
Should I stop all my applications?

I’m applying to

Harvard
Yale
Columbia
UPenn
Claremont MCkenna
Stanford
Cornell (do not need SAT scores)
Mount Holyoke

I’ve got a 3.7 in my first semester (only 5% of the class get an A)… The courses I took are more ‘specialised’ than 1st year courses in most US colleges. To give you guys some idea, an exchange student from UCSD got a C+ in one of my classes (biochemistry)…
