<p>Any recommendations would be really helpful. opinion on how much a 35 could change things?</p>
<p>You seem to have a twin.</p>
<p>lol sorry about that. but this thread wasn’t getting anything.</p>
<p>hey my man…these threads are futile. continue your hard work this year and, sans senioritis, your senior year. why not try for that 35?
But hey, im just some guy on the internet.</p>
<p>It’s either 0% or 10% depending on whether or not you have health care. (Sorry, I’m just ■■■■■■■■ at the moment.)</p>
<p>nice 10% chance ain’t bad</p>
<p>ED will help…I’d say you have pretty comprable stats to a number of kids who will be applying…some of whom will get in and some of whom won’t. I’d say anything you can do to stand out will help, a higher score, grades that continue to go up, a really good essay that is memorable.</p>
<p>Bowling is interesting, that’ll make you stand out, and the service trips to Nicaragua are the sort of experience that Dartmouth really encourages its students to have while at Dartmouth, so you’ll fit the kind of profile they like.</p>
<p>But yeah, I’d say, its a really hard school to get in to, will you get in, who knows? Certainly the admissions office isn’t going to like read you application and laugh or anything. I’d say you’re definitely a candidate who will benefit from applying ED, so that’s good, and I’m glad you like Dartmouth enough to want to apply ED…good luck!</p>
