@stomb I normally don’t reply to chance threads because I can’t predict the future. But I’m weighing in because I disagree with BananaCar regarding your stats. You have great grades and test scores and lots of APs and leadership in your ECs. How much boost an ED application provides is unclear, but if Dartmouth is your clear first choice and it’s affordable for your family, I don’t see a downside.

3.9/35 are competitive stats anywhere, including at Dartmouth. If you write good essays and forward strong rec letters, your app will be competitive.
