(Similar to your Columbia chance post) Your URM status may help but your stats, in particular your standardized test scores, are a good bit below the 25th percentile for Hamilton which make this school a real reach. https://www.hamilton.edu/admission/apply/class-profile

As suggested in your other post, you may want to research and consider some of the outstanding test optional colleges. Here is a list sorted by state. https://www.fairtest.org/university/optional/state
