Chances at Dartmouth, Whitman, Williams, Wash. U.-St. Louis

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Ok, here goes...</p>

<p>Washington State
Neither of my parents graduated from college
Rural farming town
Have spent my entire high school "career" at the local community college because my high school has terrible academics, so my GPA and rank include my college classes, but the school doesn't weight so...</p>

<p>HS rank: 8/200 (unweighted)
HS GPA: 3.88 (unweighted)
College GPA: 3.87
College Rank: Doesn't rank but I've been on the Dean's List every quarter since I started taking classes in 8th grade.</p>

<p>Class schedule:
Toughest classes I can take...I'm in the Honors Program at the community college</p>

<p>SAT: 2100 CR: 770 M: 670 W:660
Retaking SAT in Nov.
Took SAT IIs in October and anxiously awaiting scores...I think I did pretty well on the Lit and US History ones, but I'm not sure about Biology (only need two at Dartmouth, though, so I guess it's ok...)</p>

<p>Good essays (my English teacher suggested I submit one to be published in the college's yearly student writing anthology, so I guess they're pretty good). They describe me well, though, so that's the most important part.</p>

<p>Really, really great teacher recs
Really great peer rec (for Dartmouth only)</p>

<p>Extra Currriculars:
20-25 hrs. per week at local performing arts guild performing (I've had several lead roles, chorus roles, I've operated the light-board, sold ad space for the programs, worked as stage crew, and I'm stage managing the children's show this year...I'm also getting a recommendation from the director which should <em>hopefully</em> be stellar)
8 hrs. per week Tae Kwon Do (Black Belt and recieve medals at state tournaments)
3 hrs. per week Honor Society vice-president at college
3 hrs. per week International Friendship Club executive committee member
Various volunteer things (approx. 4 hrs. per week) like Junior Achievement, helping out at a pro bono law office, etc. Also helped organize fundraiser for December 2004 Tsunami.</p>

<p>Work:
10-15 hrs. per week Event Coordinating at community college...I'm the chair of the Activities Committee, so I'm sort of the boss of the committee
10-12 hrs. per week Tutoring - I tutor elementary school children</p>

<p>Any thoughts on my chances for Dartmouth, Williams, Washington U. - St. Louis, and Whitman would be very appreciated! Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>Aw...14 views but no replies? I'd really appreciate any thoughts :)</p>

3

<p>assuming your a white female, your competitive at all those colleges</p>

4

<p>Yes, I am....when I graduate college I'll be the first woman in my family ever to graduate and only the second person, male or female, to hold a college degree.</p>

5

<p>I think you have a good chance, but don't they need 3 SAT II's at Dartmouth?</p>

6

<p>Not anymore. Now that the SAT I has three parts, they only require two SAT IIs.</p>

<p>your stats are strong but so will the stats of most of the other applicants to the schools you've listed. advantages that you have are that you are from the state of washington (i doubt the eastern schools you have listed receive many applications from students from washington) and that you will be the first from your family to attend college. no one can predict admissions at wusl as they seem to employ the practice of encouraging applications so they can deny admission.</p>
