Hi Vivek,
Your scores are not the only factor which will be evaluated by Ivy Leagues. They require all-rounder and not book worms. They look for students who will contribute to the university and the school. More than 95% is not mandatory at all, but if you do its good for you. An highly academic student that is a student with more than 95% may also be rejected if the university finds the student profile not so fit for the university. Go through these links, understand the kind of profiles they take in:

You will need the university admission offer letter to apply for the study visa. If the university you are applying to requires the SAT you must give the SAT. Check the admission requirements before applying.

Hi Varika,
PSAT is the preliminary SAT, more or less like a preparation. PSAT is generally taken by 10th students or test takers before taking the main SAT. You cannot really compare PSAT and SAT as one is the preliminary stage and the other is the final. PSAT is not mandatory to appear for SAT. You can take it to improve your final preparation.

Yes, it is important to have subjects like maths because most of the UK universities look for that subject but if you are planning not to pursue computer science engineering or MS then it won't be an issue.
