<p>You test scores look to be the weakest part of your app, but only because the rest of your app is strong. At Dartmouth last year the median CR & M scores for those admitted were 740 & 760. (<a href=“http://www.dartmouth.edu/~oir/pdfs/admissions_10.pdf[/url]”>This Page Has Moved; see page 3) Dartmouth had a 15% increase in apps this year and after the ED admits, estimates are they will only be admitting about 8-9% of the RD applicants. Your chances are probably above that, maybe 15-20%.</p>
<p>I don’t know the other schools as well, but chances at Brown would probably be similar to Dartmouth and less at Harvard. Cornell didn’t see any increase in apps this year and your chances would be better there, but may depend upon which program you are applying to. Cornell has some has some pretty good admission data online that should give you a better idea. I don’t know enough about Bowdoin to offer an opinion.</p>
<p>You have a good chance at any of the because anything is possible, plus your academics are outstanding. I believe that at least one of them will accept you, so Good Luck!</p>
<p>Thank you very much guys that is very helpful and I think my essays did stand out pretty well i wrote about construction and what it has taught me and i wrote about some of the other thing that i do outside of school</p>
<p>I felt bad that nobody had responded to your post, so I just made 'em up. (You seem like such a smart kid, I know you will get into one of those schools.)(Take everything you read on CC with a grain of salt.)</p>
<p>I agree with the above posters. Those are reaches, but you may end up hitting one of them. The ‘construction’ thing is something that clearly differentiates you from the rest of the pool. Depending on how you wrote about it, it might work as a strong part of your application.</p>
