<p>I am a rising senior and I am planning on applying to Dartmouth, Princeton, MIT, Yale, Stanford, Brown, Williams, and Amherst as my reaches (but probably not every one of them) and I am wondering what my chances are of getting into these highly competitive schools. I will be applying to Dartmouth ED. I plan on majoring in either chemistry, classics, or fulfilling the requirements for med school.</p>

<p>Teacher and Counselor Recommendations: All recommendations should be very good as I am receiving them from my BC Calculus teacher (skipped two years of math, teacher and I had a lot in common) and from my Chemistry teacher whom I have had for two years and in both years I received the highest grade out of all of her classes. My counselor recommendation should also be very good as I moved to my current school in my sophomore year and had to transition and my counselor has experienced how I adapted and made friends while maintaining my grades.</p>
<p>Essays: Currently writing, I plan on making them really representative of what I like to do/who I am.</p>
<p>Interviews: Depends if alumni live nearby.</p>
