I don't think you should have a hard time as long as you do well with your essay(schools like Bennington place a lot on that). From what I understand they recently made it where you don't even have to submit test scores if you don't want to.

Your SAT scores are definitely your weak spot, but they are optional at Bennington. As the above poster said, your essays and interview will count for more anyway.
