<p>I’m assuming you didn’t take SAT or ACT yet. If I’m not mistaken…</p>

<p>you should do SAT or ACT. Try aiming for 2100+ for SAT. Not sure about ACT.</p>

<p>I’m not sure about whether colleges accept people with no SAT/ACT…I heard occasionally they do, but just to be safe you should take it.</p>

<p>Thank you. Please assume my SAT would be 2100 or higher.
Do you see there any chances?</p>

<p>Is your intended major Mathematics or Computer Science?</p>

5

<p>What do you like? For computer science, maybe you could design a game or something :slight_smile: Show that you worked hard to strive for your passion, and you are unique. Except for your 10th year GPA, everything looks good enough.</p>

<p>For major, you could do Math+Comp Sci. though, it makes sense.</p>

<p>My major was Mathematics in High School. But it would be Computer Science at Dartmouth.</p>

<p>@Skyrior: You are so smart. Thank you for your message!</p>

<p>As you found, I am interested in Computational Science and Algorithms (since I have been very successful in this regard.)</p>

<p>Dartmouth loves students who:

  1. Have good stats- GPA and SAT/ACT. Your GPA is good,
    Work on getting 2250+ SAT, and you’re solid! </p>

<ol>
<li>Have done something unique. Your ECs are good, but don’t stand out as someone they would have to have at their schools. But applying ED should cut you some slack! </li>
</ol>

<p>Chance back?

<p>@roxy481 Thank you for your suggestions.
Would u plz tell me about “Have done something unique”</p>

<p>I am working under supervision of a professor and I’m doing an unique research.
Does Dartmouth consider researches, papers, extra recommendations,…?</p>
