You're SATs aren't enough. Need to push that up! Otherwise, you seem to be a great match for your choices!!

Bates is SAT optional, so your sats shouldn't matter if you didn't submit them. Other than that, you look like a great candidate!

did you manage to get an interview somehow?

Bates tends to love people like you. as long as you didn't submit your SATs i'd say you have a pretty damn good shot.
