Should I take SAT or SAT Subject/SAT II?

I took SAT last December and got around 1850 which is an abysmal score considering the colleges that I want to go to are ranked by US top 10-30ish.

Took the SAT last May with an SAT prep class and some practice on my own and received a 2150. 730 for CR (I didn’t know some of the vocabulary) 740 for math (Missed one problem) 680 for essay (almost perfect on multiple choice but my essay got a 4).

Took the SAT Subject Tests in Lit. and US History. Got a 690 in Lit. with no studying and 720 on the USH after rereading my AP Princeton Review guide.

This September, I’m planning to take either the SAT test or another two SAT Subject tests (Math I and Bio).

Which one of the two choices should I take? Some of my reach colleges are Vandy, Washu, and NYU. How will the test scores factor into my merit-based FA?
