<p>Granville huh? Is Denison on your list or too close to home? Based upon the common data set statistics for the most recent class reported, 2008-2009, it would look like the GPA might be an issue. Over 76% of the accepted students had a GPA higher than yours and your combined SAT score of 1690 is just short of the middle 50% range of 1700-1970. I would take the SAT one more time since Elon will take your highest scores. Taking the ACT is a good idea. Do you plan on playing soccer in college? If so, you may want to talk to one of the coaches.</p>
