Is 700 on SAT Lit good enough for highly selective colleges?

I got a 700 on SAT Lit in October, and registered for another shot on Dec 3. However, I’ve been busy with other things lately and haven’t done much prep. I don’t think I can get a much better score–in fact I would feel lucky to get the same score again–considering that I have only 3 days left.

I’m applying to Pomona, Claremont McKenna, Swarthmore, Cornell, and Northwestern (UChicago too but they don’t require SAT IIs). I’m a bit worried because it seems many others will be submitting duo or trio 800s, or at least all 750+ on all SAT IIs.
