<p>there's other smaller activities, too, but I'd say these are the main ones. also, im intending to major in neuroscience (to eventually go the med school route)</p>
<p>thanks for taking the time to read this/chance me!</p>
<p>thanks! I didn’t apply ED because I may potentially get a full ride from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for National Merit, and I wasn’t ready to commit to Dartmouth considering that possibility (especially since med school will be so expensive). Without the incentive of a full ride from U of I, though, I’ll pick Dartmouth if accepted. :)</p>
I don’t see why you wouldn’t get in!
