<p>standardized test scores are low</p>

<p>you have some really good ECs. Your test scores are fine; you are above 25th percentile for W and M, below 25th percentile for CR, but still in the range over all. Remember people with over 2300 get rejected and considering you are a Questbridge finalist, you are fine. You have a chance, whether its a low or high chance, I can’t say.</p>

<p>do you plan to do hurdles in college, and if so, have you talked to the coach at Dartmouth?
Questbridge will certainly help you and your ECs look solid. If your essays are strong I’d say you have a good shot.</p>

<p>Test scores will kill you. That “25%ile” that some posters like to preach about includes athletes, minorities, and legacies.
You need something in the 75% to have a sincere chance.</p>

<p>I also think your SATs put you out of the running- the reading score in particular, unless you are new to this country.
I don’t think it is enough, but an admissions officer friend at the University of Chicago told me that many of their Questbridge students were Asian-Americans poor in the first generation.</p>

<p>Yeah I plan to do track/hurdles in college. Would it be too late to talk to a coach at not necessarily Dartmouth but the other colleges too?</p>

<p>Going to have to agree w/ the previous posters. A few things stick out, most notably your test scores.</p>

<p>Your 720 Math is a great score, but when you look at Dartmouth’s 25th percentile score of 690 and 75th percentile score of 790 it becomes below average with average being ~740ish. Generally that would be fine, but most quantitative heavy majors (math, applied math, engineering) are above the 75th percentile if not at least above the 50th percentile in terms of math, chemistry, and physics scores.</p>
