Class of 2015--Beefing up my application?

<p>Hey! I filled out the standard template with my stats. I know I probably won’t be getting into Brown or Yale at this point, but what are my chances of getting into a school with a ~20% acceptance rate (and also getting GOOD financial aid for an upper middle class family)? Some schools I’m applying to are Trinity College, Connecticut College, GWU, Tufts, Wellesley, Duke, Bates, Bowdoin, Boston College, and Georgetown. Thanks so much for looking.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance of getting into these colleges, provided you stand out in your essay, because they care more about school grades than standardized testing. I don’t really know a whole lot about a lot of these colleges, but I know that Georgetown requires that you send in all your SAT scores from ALL your tests, which means not sending the 1910 is not an option. That’s fine though, as long as you have a higher score, because they just want to see all you tests and make sure you’re not crazy and going to only raise your score 20 points. Good luck!</p>
