<p>applying to any ivy is a total crapshoot.</p>

<p>that being said, i think you’ve got a pretty good chance of getting in. honestly, i had less impressive ECs and the same kind of academics as you, and i got in :slight_smile: (im not a legacy or recruit or anything)</p>

<p>Good luck! you definitely deserve to get into Dartmouth!</p>

4

<p>Thanks a lot! </p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

5

<p>Wow, very impressive EC’s. You also have very strong grades, with an upward trend, which will be really impressive if you can maintain that senior year. IMHO you’ve got a very good shot, but like lissy0505 said, it’s a crapshoot.</p>

6

<p>Awesome, thank you.</p>

7

<p>I agree: I think your chances are very good, but elite school admissions are a bit of a crapshoot.</p>

8

<p>I definitely understand that. Thanks!</p>

9

<p>Looks very good as of now! Do you have any subject test scores?</p>

10

<p>very jealous :slight_smile: Good SATs, great EC’s but what about SAT II’s (or did I just not catch them?)</p>

11

<p>want to make your chances even better? Buy the Kaplan Math workbook, complete it all, get a 750 or better on math and your just as good as anyone else barring bad essays or other problems</p>

<p>You have a high chance. I loved your SAT scores and guitar club.:)</p>
