<p>Hi, I'm an asian female probably applying to dartmouth ED from a pretty competitive public school. No hook or legacy.</p>

<p>UW/W: ~3.5/4.01 upward trend, B's --> A's, with a heavier courseload. (although I was also taking all honors classes freshman/soph year)</p>

<p>Class Rank: In or near the top 10%; school doesn't give exact rank.</p>

<p>SAT I superscored: 780 math, 800 CR, 800 writing; 2380.</p>

<p>SAT II: 800 chem, 790 math2, 700 u.s. history. Hoping not to submit the 700, not sure what happened there. Taking Literature in october.</p>

<p>AP scores:
Chemistry-4
Biology-5
U.S. History-4
English Language-5
Taking six more this may. (macro, micro, lit, french, calc AB, physics)</p>

<p>Teacher recs: Good?
Counselor recs: Pretty good? Don't know her that well.</p>

<p>I've also taken the most rigorous courseload available.</p>

<p>EC's/Awards (not very substantial..):
Flute for three years, 100+ hours with the American Cancer Society for fundraising and volunteer work, babysitting, tutoring, NHS, FHS (leadership position), National Merit Semi-Finalist, public relations officer of a school club that donates to charity, AP Scholar with Honor..</p>

<p>My GPA and EC's suck, I know, but would unique essays and my test scores help enough for ED? I would be majoring in Chemistry at Dartmouth.</p>

<p>I might say your a little weak in the ecs, but i visited Dartmouth this summer(ill be applying there too) and the impression the adcoms gave was that ED was mostly oriented for athletes or legacies admits. But apply if you like the school.</p>

<p>Thanks. =D Dartmouth is definitely my first-choice school, but the only thing that stands out about me are my test scores, and maybe my essay. Sigh.</p>
