michael, First, DO NOT retake the SATI, that’s obsessive! Second, consider some of the smaller liberal arts colleges where Asians are still desireable URMs. Check their diversity figures to find out which these are.

Take a look at Grinnell, Macalester, Carlton, Hamilton, Williams, Amherst, Trinity, Kenyon. These are all excellent colleges that would look favorably on a combination of brains + Asian + golf + orchestra.

I don’t know much about golf but if you’re good enough for the golf teams that would be an additional hook at Williams or Hamilton, maybe others.

I’d also suggest that you apply early to a school with rolling admissions like University of Michigan. If you are accepted you’ll find out early then that could be your safety.
