Just like any other applicant in your stats range, you have a chance. There’s nothing about your app that means that Dartmouth MUST have you, but your scores are at the top of their range and you have good ECs, so you have a decent chance.

Also, if you want a percentage-wise estimate, Parchment has a pretty good college chance estimator based on your scores and stuff, so maybe try that if you want some reassurance (or horror).

You have an interesting background. Can you play baseball at college level? Do you have latino urm hook? These would help a lot - though I suspect answer may be no based on your outcome at Penn.

Lgbt is not a hook. Also, Dartmouth has not been known as particularly lgbt friendly - though my knowledge may be dated.
