<p>I would love to be accepted to Dartmouth. I'm a Caucasian female at a small town public high school. I'm taking Biology, Advanced Drama, Drama I intern, AP Government, Spanish III, AP Language and Composition, and Psychology.
I have a 3.65 and I'm an environmental activist, ride horses, Treasurer of Drama, was Secretary of Drama last year, have a cleft lip and palate, Cavern Tour Guide, was a veterinary technician, advocate of gay rights active in GSA. If you need any more info, let me know.</p>
<p>Scores really help a lot with chancing.</p>
<p>I got 610 in both English sections and 520 in math on the SAT.</p>
<p>Those scores are a lot lower than average for a school like Dartmouth</p>
<p>Anyone?..</p>
<p>I don’t mean to be harsh, but there’s no way you’ll get into Dartmouth with a 1130/1600 SAT score. Have you considered retaking?</p>
<p>Hate to say it but scores put you out of range. The avg. SAT score at Dartmouth is close to a 1450 as a reference point.</p>
<p>and on top of that…dartmouth is a scorewhore</p>
<p>i’m sorry, but how will “have a cleft lip and palate” help you???</p>
<p>^ Wondering the same thing…</p>
<p>Hahah hieronymus great question</p>
<p>cleft lip and palate?..anyways, you should probably shoot for 700’s on those two to have a chance. I mean, you’re not bad, it’s just that it’s not ivy material. don’t worry you’re not the only one. Try for the 1500 range, but know that it’s a reach. you’ll get into many other good ones, though!</p>
<p>chance me too…<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/559685-i-got-owned-pwnd-even.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/559685-i-got-owned-pwnd-even.html</a></p>
<p>Dartmouth is not a scorewhore.
No top school only accepts students with the highest scores. Most have a rough idea of a baseline score which will get you through the first stage of screening and only after you get past that will your application be actually considered (bar exceptional circumstances/students).
After that, scores don’t really matter they base your admission on all the other factors. scores are just used to help you put one foot through door.</p>
<p>but yeah a 1740 probably won’t cut it. You should aim for the median 50% SAT scores for any college you apply to (ideally above them). Here’s dartmouth’s median scores</p>
<p>SAT Critical Reading: 660 - 770
SAT Math: 670 - 780
SAT Writing: 660 - 770</p>
<p>So ideally aiming for 1990-2320.</p>
<p>Your SAT and GPA are low, so I predict rejection. Sorry. No need to drag it out though.</p>
<p>Smartcookie, I just checked your profile and realized that you had been accepted to HPS. Why the hell are you still on CC?</p>
<p>^Once a CCer, always a CCer! No problem with that!!!</p>
