<p>Bump. I'm also a shift manager at work.</p>

<p>I don't think you're going to Dartmouth next year, sorry. I just think that you have generic ECs and not many of them. Your GPA is low and your ACT is average. This does not bode you well for Ivy league admissions my friend.</p>

<p>I agree...Dartmouth is getting harder and harder to get into...people here are ridic. I thought my class was competative, but looking at the '10s stats...very high sats, amazing ECs etc... Once you get in, it gets even tougher!</p>

<p>Im not trying to cut your acheivements down or anything but im pretty sure everyone got the "Who's Who Among American High School Students nominee" thing. You might not want to put that on your app.</p>

<p>You don't seem to stand out.</p>

7

<p>Bit of a reach, but still possible.</p>

8

<p>It is a bit of a reach, mainly with your ECs, but you should definitely go for it.</p>

9

<p>Reach, but I have almost the same stats as you, and I'm also applying! Good luck to us both. :)</p>

<p>BTW, I'm retaking SAT IIs in January too, and I called them, and they said its not too late.</p>
