<p>I agree with BalletGirl. </p>

<p>Just remember that the reality is, no one knows. But you are clearly competitive for Dartmouth, and since you're so competitive, you'll either go to Dartmouth or to another absolutely fantastic school.</p>

<p>Go ice skating, go play the sax, and enjoy Thanksgiving. The next few weeks will be the slowest of your life.</p>
