<p>I think my essay was pretty good, but then again everybody says that haha. I put like fifty hours into it if that means everything. I wrote about my summer camp, what it means to be a camp counselor, and what my camp means to me.</p>

<p>Reccomendation letters were probably good. I asked my english teacher freshman year (who was the advisor for charity poker) for a supplemental rec. I'm not gonna be like those other CC donks who think every single one of their recs was incredible.</p>

<p>What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Class rank and GPA is great! Your course schedule must have been atleast near-most rigorous as your #1 in rank, 6 Ap’s does seem kind of low but if your school only offers about 5-8 I’d say your fine. Great EC’s but as you know being Korean is a Negative on applications since you do not get the minority advantage. Nonetheless applying ED I’m sure you have a good chance. Good Luck on your endeavors!</p>

7

<p>I think you have decent chances.</p>

<p>why dartmouth ED?
I think you hace decent chances at other top colleges?</p>

8

<p>You have fairly good chances. However, most schools specifically say that supplemental recommendations should not be from teachers.</p>

9

<p>I liked it a lot there. The other colleges had too much of a cut-throat vibe for me. I also really like the outdoors. I wrote my essay about it.</p>

11

<p>anyone else?</p>

12

<p>bump…</p>

13

<p>I’d say you have at least a 65% of getting in. You have great scores/rank/GPA and really good ECs.</p>

14

<p>Thanks I hope it’s true</p>

<p>Good catch on the “I’m not gonna be like those other CC donks who think every single one of their recs was incredible.” Umm, you have the academics (I imagine that even though you did not take a bunch of APs, you took all your school had to offer). In terms of ECs, they’re decent, especially with the initiative and results shown with the charity. All that + ED doesn’t look bad at all.</p>

16

<p>haha everyone says that ALL their essays and recs are incredible when clearly that can’t be true</p>
