Please Chance Me!

I was originally extremely attracted to Kenyon and really excited about it. But i've become extremely doubtful at my prospects from what I've been reading here. Here's my information:

SATs: 610m 640cr 710w
GPA: about 3.9 Weighted 3.4 unweighted
Rank: around top 5% (public high school with large class of around 300)
Classes: 4AP classes/rest Honors/4 years of German/4 years of Art
Extras: Violin in community orchestra 2 years, 4 years XC + co-captain, 4 years swim team, 2 years track w/ school record, 2 scholastic art awards, summer painting class
Plan to major in art or sociology

If anyone can tell me whether I have any chances or if my SATs are too low it would be much appreciated. I can't seem to find anyone to ask since the guidance department at my school is terrible (they've never even heard of the school)

I think your SAT scores combined with gpa are going to put you a bit lower among applicants. However, your activities look pretty good, and you should also inquire about admissions accepting your portfolio. In fact, it may be that an art professor will look at it upon your request, and then give you a slight boost. Just something to look into.
