<p>Pretty good chances but I think you should focus more on academics. For instance, my sister was in Princeton and she indicated that Ivy League really look at your academics. Are there any competitions you were in, any awards? Indicate those. I participated in National Olympics of Geography and got a 3rd place, if you have something like this(a competition) chances that you will be taken are augmenting.</p>

<p>lol your name’s the same as my roommate’s, and your stats are almost identical to mine. I’m Asian and I got in, so getting in should be no problem for you.</p>

<p>■■■■■. Prove me wrong.</p>

<p>■■■■■. BS post.</p>

<p>^ what makes you think that?</p>

<p>Well this just ruined my night.</p>

<p>if you need to ask, you aren’t as smart as your stats would indicate.
either that or you’re a ■■■■■.</p>

<p>Wow, you have a trust fund too! URM and development candidate.</p>

<p>I think the poster is laughing his behind off at the repsondents. </p>

<p>“I’m the 2390SAT top student at one of the top prep schools in the country. Help me please!” because the previous vals have faired so poorly…</p>

<p>I see some serious problems here. </p>

<p>SAT scores- CR and Biology were well below 800! (do you plan to re-take?)</p>

<p>Only volunteering 40 hrs/week x 10 weeks over the summer?
AP music theory but no music ECs?
Published a novel with only “adequate success”?</p>

<p>Sounds like a deadbeat. Everyone knows that Dartmouth requires the publication of a “successful” novel prior to the applicant’s senior year of high school.</p>

<p>You should start out shooting for a local community college…</p>

<p>yeah that post looked pretty suspect!</p>
