I would say subject tests. Did you take the ACT this month?

Why subject tests? Your SAT I scores are probably 20-30 points in each category below the 25th percentile for those accepted into Columbia, Brown, and John Hopkins. That will be negligible at most.

Your Subject Tests on the other hand, are much, much lower. I would say maybe 100 points? That could possibly hurt you.

Work on your subject tests in my opinion, they will be easier to raise IMO. Use PR for Math, and Physics I have no idea, Barron/PR would be a good choice as well.
