<p>you should be in! esp with the urm status!</p>

<p>yay! ...a fellow neuroscience major. Your SAT/ACT is a little on the low side for dartmouth, but if you can raise your ACT to atleast a 32, you'll improve your chances a lot. Everything else is fine...</p>

<p>You seem like a really strong applicant, especially being a URM. Your ECs are somewhat unique, and show leadership. I'd say you're in!</p>

<p>That makes three of us, almost. (considering neuroscience as well!)</p>
