<p>**I know my SAT subject test scores are absolutely terrible, so feel free to comment on how bad they are. Thank you for your time and patience.</p>

<p>a note: my friend, who applied and got a likely letter this year, wrote my dartmouth peer evaluation-does this help? it was a really good peer eval (talked about my personal qualities and how they relate to my ECs, some personal anecdotes)</p>

<p>I’d say your chances are average.</p>

<p>oh, I see. Anyone else has any opinions?</p>

<p>I would say your chances are average as well, or slightly below average. Your SAT II scores are low, and your SAT scores are right in the middle. Your class rank and gpa are good though, and this might be what carries you through. Your EC’s are just average however, and although you have won some piano and art awards, the admissions board is most likely looking for some more depth/uniqueness. I don’t think the peer evaluation will matter, and I doubt if they would even notice it.
I would be more surprised if you got in than if you did not, but then again I wouldn’t be that surprised if you did get in, if that makes any sense.</p>
