In summary:

1) Look on Naviance for school stats and acceptance history.

2) Work a lot on your less quantitative qualities (essays, activities, etc.).

3) Don’t be discouraged by your 33. That’s a great score. To quote the Yale admissions office, “A very strong performance in a demanding college preparatory program may compensate for modest standardized test scores, but it is unlikely that high standardized test scores will persuade the admissions committee to disregard an undistinguished secondary-school record.”

Hopefully that provides a relatively moderate summary of a surprisingly argumentative thread.

Good Luck!
