<p>I would suggest that you focus on SAT-optional schools, such as Bates and Bowdoin. Bowdoin is a good choice for someone who likes Dartmouth, and they do have ED.</p>

<p>BTW, do you have any AP scores at this point?</p>

<p>Yes, your scores are pretty low and your GPA is low as well. However, you have great activities! Dartmouth’s acceptance rates are below 9% for both RD and ED–don’t be fooled by the numbers it gives. The higher acceptance rates for ED are a result of all of the people that apply who were recruited for sports and almost always are accepted. </p>

<p>I’m not gonna lie–a 650 on your US history SAT II is nothing special. What grade did you get in APUSH? If your APUSH teacher is writing you a req but you only got a 650 on the subject test, that doesn’t really speak highly of your abilities.</p>

<p>Also, disregard your weighted GPA, because it tells you nothing. Colleges don’t even look at your weighted GPA anyways.</p>

<p>I’d say you have an about average chance of getting into Dartmouth. Below average test scores/transcript doesn’t help, but hopefully your amazing activities and really good essays will help you stand out.</p>
