<p>What are my chances for Dartmouth</p>

2

<p>Chances are about 1 in 5.</p>

3

<p>Can you be recruited for basketball? You look strong to me. But recruited athletes always have the biggest edge.</p>

4

<p>Your thread title: chances are good
Your username: hmmm, fail. Unless you’re a cousin or something and that’s your name too.</p>

<p>“I have played basketball competitively for 10 years and could play on a mediocre Division I team.”</p>

<p>Could? Or will? Because “could” sounds like walking on & riding the pine. There’s a big difference between doing that on mediocre D1 squad… and starring as a sought after recruit. I have friends that fell into both categories. One will open admission doors, the other will not.</p>

5

<p>Are you Hispanic? </p>

<p>No one is guaranteed admission, but I think you’ve got a better than 40% chance as is. If you’re Hispanic, I think that number goes up to 70%. If you could play ball for Dartmouth, I think that number goes up to 95%. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

6

<p>If you are good enough to get recruited as an athlete, then your chances are be superb. Good luck!</p>

7

<p>I’m not hispanic, but does it help if I was born in Europe and moved here at a young age?</p>

8

<p>Only if it was Spain.</p>

9

<p>haha good one, but seriously?</p>

10

<p>No, being born in a foreign country doesn’t raise your chances.</p>

11

<p>You seem to be as good as any. It depends on recommendations and essays i think for you to set you apart. I’d say not to stress these chance threads. Not much you can do at this point but apply.</p>

12

<p>It will depend a lot on where your from and the other soft factors like essays and recs. Lots of kids who look like you get in and lots don’t. If you can get recruited for BB, you’re in. If you’re from North Dakota you have a much better chance than if you’re from somewhere overrepresented.</p>
