The middle 50% range of SAT scores is 1580-1900, so you are right in the middle. They generally accept around 60%… They had 10,000 applications for 1,000 spots… but most students accepted choose to go someplace else, so they have to accept many more students than 1,000. That is, they probably accept 6,000 and only 1,000 say yes… if less say yes, then they can take applicants from the wait list.

At this point, all you can do is wait. If they give you an opportunity to write a letter or add additional information, do so, and make it clear that Providence is your first choice and why. If they go to the waitlist, they will be looking for students who have expressed strong interest.
