<p>Simply based on your SAT, GPA and courseload (combined with the fact that your school probably actually takes them seriously), I'd say your chances are close to perfect. Being captain of a debate team will help a lot as well.</p>

3

<p>My bet is that you get in. You have a great transcript.</p>

4

<p>do you want to pm me about this? i'm a troy high grad who was at the TOC who's now a dartmouth student.</p>

<p>I'd say you have a very good chance. 36 ACT is impressive.
top debater + varsity sports + 99 pct. scores = darn good chance</p>
