First Gen</p>
<p>The upward trend in grades is good; keep it up. It’ll help you’re moving into a strong class rank. If you could get the SAT up, that would be good, though your grades and test scores put you in the ballpark for Dartmouth. Do you have some significant accomplishments that you can point to in your ECs? Can you wrap your first-gen Muslim Pakistani heritage into a persuasive essay?</p>
