<p>Looks pretty good. But I wouldn’t be surprised either way if you were accepted or rejected. You live in a competitive place and have some pretty common ECs.</p>

<p>Hey Rower! I WENT TO BROWN OVER THE SUMMER TOO!!! Best summer EVER! But anywayyyy … I think you have a really great chance at being accepted! Your scores look great, but you need to make sure that your peer evaluator knows you really well! Good luck!!</p>

<p>Your SATs are quite good, as are your extracurriculars. Who can say for Dartmouth? Past a certain point, the Ivies are crapshoots. But I think you’re definitely a competitive applicant. You have as good as chance as anybody. </p>

<p>Chance me back? =)
