I dont know but why isn't Harvard listed as an "amazing school"? Dont you have a guidance counselor you can ask about this? Most of the people on here aren't qualified to give you a right answer.

Your low GPA kills your chances for elite schools, and being Asian is equivalent to losing ~75 points on your SAT. You should aim for schools at the next level down from the elites. Consider schools such as: Colgate U U of Rochester Rose-Hulman Institute Bucknell U Georgia Tech Lehigh
