<p>I think your chances are pretty good. I got in early decision and I felt that my test scores wern’t great either (2020). I did have a 3.8/4 GPA, double legacy, and a fair amount of strong extra circulars. If I had to give you advice it would be to get those SATs up in anyway possible. SATs arent really a dealbreaker for a school like Hamilton unless they are really bad. You want to aim to be atleast around the bottom of the median 50% which is about a 1950 for hamilton. As long as your SATs arent a weakness you should be fine.</p>
