<p>You’re GPA was low but the 4.0 proves that you can succeed. Did you have the most difficult classes? You seem pretty self motivated so I think that Dartmouth would take you in if you were able to show them that you have the potential to succeed and that 9-10th grade GPAs were flukes.</p>

<p>This ■■■■■ thought he could wait out a few weeks and try to fool new ppl with the sane regurgitated nonsense. Except this time the SAT is 2200 and not 2300.</p>

<p>Yes, this has been posted before.</p>

<p>I hope that you are saving some of this money to pay your EFC and are filing taxes.</p>

<p>Not to mention helping your mother with household expenses…since your income is at least $20K higher than hers, according to this story.</p>

<p>That’s an interesting question: how does a kid whose annual income exceeds $50K with a parent who makes $32K fare in the FA world? You might want to run the financial calculators on some college websites using your actual figures. And will you be able to continue this “business” in college, or will your family income go back down? Could have a significant effect on your eventual college choice.</p>
