<p>Ok so the schools I'd love to go to the most are Dartmouth, Columbia, Univ. of Chicago, and Rice. What are my chances? Here's what my stats are:</p>
<p>-National Merit Finalist
-SAT 2600
CR-740
Math-730
Writing-790
-gpa 3.65 unweighted; i know thats low but I go to a really hard school that was ranked 50th best nationwide a couple years ago, but i dunno if that will make a difference or not
-ive done a fair number of extracurriculars each year (3-4); the ones that ive done every year are leadership club and middle school tutoring program
-all honors/ap courses
-presidential volunteer service award (junior year)
-killer essays
-great need for financial aid</p>
<p>thats it for now...what do you think?</p>
