Chance me? ED

Colleges and Universities A-Z Dartmouth College

<p>I'm currently a junior, and considering applying ED next fall.
I know I don't quite have everything together yet, but testing is in progress :D</p>

<p>SAT I: 2240 (CR 780, M 700, W 760) - first try, I'll retake it for math.
SAT II: 800 French, 780 Spanish - will take English Lit, Bio M, and possibly Math II (meh.) 700+ expected for the first two.
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 4.0 (4.3 w)
Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): School doesn't rank, but easily in the top 5%
AP: Expecting a 5 in AP Language, 4/5 in AP Euro
TOEFL: 118</p>

<p>Senior Year Course Load: AP English Lit, AP Macro and Microeconomics, Math (combination of calculus, trig, geometry & algebra), Philosophy, Spanish ("Advanced Seminar"), Ancient Greek, er... PE.
I'm taking all the AP courses my school offers. It's a French School, so it's a bit special :) We don't have Honors courses in 11th and 12th grade, but I've been in all possible Honors courses in previous years: Math (9, 10), Native Level French (10), English Lang/Lit (9, 10), Spanish (9, 10)
Awards: nothing major. Foreign Language Award (Spanish) in 10, awarded to only one student in the whole grade. "Prix d'Excellence" ("Prize of Excellence," I guess) in 9, 10, and will have it in 11 too. Basically the best award one can get at the end of the school year.
Otherwise, I've been selected to participate in the Concours G</p>

<p>I’d say you have a very good chance. Your grades are obviously top-notch and more than enough to get into Dartmouth, but don’t just rely on grades. Ivies regularly reject applicants with perfect SATs and GPA because of a lack of depth in their application. You have some depth apart from academics, but I’d say that is the weakest part of your application so far. Colleges want to see depth, NOT breadth. That means putting lots of time and effort into something that you’re truly passionate about, even if its not the quintessential r</p>

<p>Being classified as an international student is probably an anti-hook.</p>
