<p>This is just an overview but I have many awards and I am a good writer so the essay shouldn't be a problem. :)</p>
<p>Really want to go to Dartmouth!!! Chance me!</p>
<p>I would say that you have as good a chance as any, that is to say as good a chance as I do, which is to say i have an average chance imo XD. I don’t know if that helps you much :P.</p>
<p>In order to make your application stand out you need to emphasize achievements and awards beyond your school. Any interests you have pursued to recognition at the State and National level will help with this. Virtually everyone who applies to an Ivy has numerous school awards, (there will be 27000 valedictorians in the USA this year!) so you have to show how you compare on a larger stage. As good as your stats are in comparison to all high school seniors, for Dartmouth they are only average, which is all the more reason to stand out otherwise if possible.</p>
<p>There is no magic formula for admissions to Dartmouth. While grades can let you see if you are in the ballpark, there is no cut off or anything of the sort. What I would recommend outside of academics, is to show something you are passionate about. You have mentioned several activities, awards and leadership roles. The best thing to do is show how they shaped you though your essay, recommendations, common app and if necessary you can send in an activities sheet that describes exactly what you did in your positions. We look for more than just a run off or activities but about what really motivates you and how far you have gone with them. National and State awards are great but they are far from a necessities. Just really try to express how invested you are in these activities.</p>
<p>thank you everyone for your help. My accomplishments i posted were generic but I have many more that I will emphasize on my actual resume. Also I have been playing piano all my life and it has shaped me greatly so i will most likely write about that in my essays. Thanks again!</p>
