I don't do chances. You've got a great list of activities, and a lot will depend on how well you presented it. What concerns me more than your SAT scores is your GPA and rank. Sarah Lawrence doesn't consider SATs, and Barnard has been known to overlook low SATs. But all colleges say the first thing they look at is your transcript, and a 3.32 uw, rank in the top 30%, is low. In other words, it's one thing to be a poor tester, but another to be both a poor tester and have lowish grades. Of course, I know nothing about your HS, and a lot will rest on what your guidance counselor has to say.

You've plastered a chances question throughout CC, but I suggest you put yet another question up on the Parents Forum. I wouldn't label it a "chances" thread, but instead ask for advice on your list. The parents on CC offer great advice, especially when it comes to having a balanced list. I'm curious to see what the responses will be.
