USNWR profiled a student from a large public high school accepted into Bowdoin with a 3.3 GPA and a 1650 SAT (likely not submitted). In this case, the primary extracurricular was football, but it’s an example of the weight the school will assign to non-academic factors in at least some cases. On balance, I think your 30 score would enhance your application, in that it is both 1) good and 2) they might assume it to be a lower figure if you do not submit it.
