<p>Your scores are somewhat similar to mine, just a little lower. Did you take the ACTs, too? My opinion is that I took the SATs without making studying for them their own extracurricular activity and without wasting money on any sort of course/private tutor/etc. Yes, yes, I've heard the arguments that "This is an important test, the money is worth it, why wouldn't you study, etc. etc. etc," but that's just not how I function. If a university sees my scores and says "Ok, not outstanding, but well within our middle 50% range," then I would hope they would go on to consider me based on character and other academic achievements. At this point, your application is in, the November test date is now over (thankfully), and you can't change your scores (Unless you retook in Dec/Jan and applied RD). Just focus on the positive aspects of your application, and hope for the best.</p>
