<p>You definitely stand a good chance. Your app was very similar to my app (in terms of grades/test scores), and I was admitted, but you also are an URM and first generation, which I wasn’t. Those will help you. Good luck!</p>

<p>Congratulations!</p>

<p>You’re definitely in. Your stats on par and you’re a URM.</p>

<p>Match; normally I don’t like chancing for Ivies unless they are bundled with other non-Ivies, but this is a file for which Dartmouth isn’t a reach.</p>

<p>Honestly, you’re probably a match for Dartmouth. I know a URM with a similar GPA and SAT, but much less impressive EC’s and awards. He got got accepted to 6 ivies last year and now attends Yale. Although Dartmouth is extremely competitive, your oustanding application and your URM status definitely make you an incredible candidate.</p>

<p>Also, can you change me back? Make sure you read page 2 of my thread before chancing:
