But the SAT has added a 600 point writing section. So sometimes you see a score and it's not clear if the score is out of 1600 or 2400. Here, OP's DD has a 1900 so it must be out of a possible 2400 (and is roughly equivalent to the ACT score of 27 that OP reported). My DS is a college freshman with similar scores and I can tell you they will not get you into any top colleges (CMU, Duke, Hopkins, Columbia, Rice etc).
I'd look into the colleges that do not require standardized test scores or at least have a more holistic approach to reading applications. Because the grades and rank are so strong (and much higher than her standardizes scores seem to indicate) I think she could do well with one of those. [/quote

She wants to go to school near/in an urban area.
She is undecided about a major, but would like to minor in theater (stage and sound design).
The schools she is interested in so far:
UMBC, UMCP, Ithaca College, MaryMount Manhattan, and Boston University.
She is a senior and we are running out of time!
Please any suggestions and feedback about the above schools would be greatly appreciated!
P.S. She will not consider any school that is affiliated with the Catholic Church!

If she is open to the idea of a women's college, Barnard or Wellesley might be a bit of a stretch, but sometimes women's colleges are forced to have more flexibility on SATs since they are pulling from a smaller pool of applicants.
