I think you have a great shot at admission since your stats are above their median. It probably wouldn’t hurt to retake the SATs to see if you can up it at all.

Based on your stats I would say you have a very good chance for Muhlenberg. To help yourself, I would plan an official visit, tour and interview to show them your interest and to give them a chance to know you. Muhlenberg puts a very high value on this. If you can’t manage to visit consider arranging to meet with your regional admissions officer when they will be in your area. Assuming that you are sure Muhlenberg is still your first choice after all of that, and assuming that your family can afford their EFC for Muhlenberg you might consider applying ED as they take a very large percentage of their first year students from the ED group. Best of luck to you!
