<p>Hook- applying ED, double-legacy</p>

2

<p>Applying ED double legacy you would appear to have a very good chance to me.</p>

3

<p>Thanks Consolation!</p>

<p>Anyone else…?</p>

4

<p>I agree with Consolation. Dartmouth likes its legacies, and you are definitely “admittable.”</p>

5

<p>you offer a competitive application. since i am also applying to college this year, I don’t have the best insight but you seem to me to have a very high chance of being admitted :)</p>

6

<p>what are your deadlift and bench stats…jw</p>

7

<p>BTW, I assume you are taking a foreign language and just didn’t mention it?</p>

8

<p>@cs12345: benched 175 and deadlifted 290. I’m competing again in November to get that deadlift over 300.</p>

<p>@Consolation: yes, I have taken Spanish for 5 years now. Unfortunately, I couldn’t fit AP Spanish into my junior or senior schedules, but every class has been Honors level.</p>

9

<p>consolation-does dartmouth emphasize foreign language or something?</p>

10

<p>Yes… Dartmouth does emphasize foreign language.</p>

11

<p>I know there is a foreign language requirement, so I guess you could call that emphasis.</p>

12

<p>i know there is a requirement but is it detrimental to not take a foreign language senior year?</p>

13

<p>2280, 4.0, 790 780 780, ED, annnnnnd double-legacy… What’s not to like. Just make sure your essays look good.</p>
