Colleges and Universities A-Z Dartmouth College

<p>My first time taking the SAT in June and I got a 1590. </p>

<p>UGH!</p>

<p>Any hope of getting in?</p>

<p>There is some hope:</p>

<p>The local Dartmouth Club is fond of me
Ill be visiting the campus in July
My EC's are fantastic (NHS, Thespians, Student Government, and Speech/Debate)
HOBY alum
Boys State alum
I serve (and chaired) a city board, served on 2 different boards
Proposed a teen center that was approved and over $8m has been budgeted for it
I served on several city campaigns {who both won :-)}</p>

<p>Academically:</p>

<p>3.6 Un-weighed ~4.1 weighed (top 10%)
AP AM History in junior year (don’t know results of test)
2-3 AP's next year
Everything else honors</p>

<p>I will be a Political Science major so a lot of my high school career has been focused on such</p>

<p>My DREAM is to go o Dartmouth</p>

<p>With the info provided... Do I have a chance?</p>

<p>It depends. If youre an under represented minority, then yes. If not, i'd probably retake the sat. Theres still time.</p>

3

<p>Nope... White male in Florida</p>

<p>I do intend on retaking it... However a 500-700 point increace is daramatic (and unlikely). Do you think the school will over look the SAT.</p>

<p>p.s. i still dont know my ACT score</p>

<p>As far as I know they wont overlook your SAT and a 500-700 increase is dramatic but not impossible. Work hard :p</p>

5

<p>I intend on doing just that. </p>

<p>anything else you can sugest?</p>

6

<p>Nothing else. Just get hold of a few SAT books and eat em! Make sure you get the CB Blue Book. :) </p>

<p>lol We are on the same boat! I also need to retake my SAT. A mere 1910 .... pathetic...</p>
