<p>My dream school is Dartmouth, however…</p>

3

<p>Do you need financial aid?</p>

4

<p>You should be a strong candidate for NU, however your chances are a lot stronger if you apply ED (not sure how that affects your plans for Dartmouth).</p>

5

<p>You have a very solid shot at Northwestern, can go either way. Little bit smaller chance at Dartmouth but definitely a shot.</p>

6

<p>You seem to be a pretty qualified canidate and could probably get into northwestern with Any problem. The only thing that worries me is that you didn’t do Calc BC. Especially because you got some math awards. Definitely self study for it for next year. It’s pretty easy. Just a few additional formulas. I would recomend that you apply to
Dartmouth ED because it’s your number one choice and you have a shot at getting in.
Good luck!

<p>Thank you everyone! Yes, I wanted to do calculus bc this year, but time did not allow me to… And no, i’m not going to ask for any financial aids (considering that many colleges more want students willing to pay… Sad truth)</p>

<p>If i get 2300+ in sat, would that increase my chances a lot? Or no? (after reviewing the accpeted candidates for dartmouth, i found that if you get 2300+ with a decent ec, ull most likely get in) what do you think?</p>

<p>I would retake it for the critical reading. 640 is very low especially for Dartmouth.</p>
