<p>Absolutely solid tests and academics. Your ECs are excessive, so keep them focused on your resume and common application, but the meat is there. I think you have pretty decent chances, well, as good as any. It’s Dartmouth, and hence about the middle-of-the-pack Ivy, so it’s pretty difficult to say. I’ve seen friends rejected from Cornell and admitted to Harvard, so it’s hard to say. By the way, what is your race and state? It doesn’t make a huge difference (well, it could), but it’s still helpful to know.</p>
<p>I’d say you have a good chance. You have the essentials, strong GPA & SAT I’s & II’s. Your ECs are strong, however, they seem very random & don’t show a focus. It looks a bit like you just ran for an officer position for every club that you’re in, quite honestly. But the strength of your other other ECs might overshadow that.</p>
<p>Emphasize what is most important to you in your app & what you want to study/major in at Dartmouth. Listing all the officer positions/clubs that you do (as you did here) sounds like a laundry list, albeit, an impressive & random laundry list.</p>
<p>Best of luck to you, I have no doubts that you are an extremely qualified applicant to the Darthmouth! :)</p>
<p>Thanks for the opinion, emmazzz, so you think I shouldn’t attach a resume? I think I want to major in Biology (or something Pre-Med). Will it be too much if ever?</p>
Thanks!</p>
