<p>The average SAT score at Dartmouth this year was 1470. That includes the almost 50% of hooked candidates, athletes, URMs, legacies and dev candidates that don't need to be at the average. Everyone non hooked needs to be above.. If you can get recruited for field hockey or lacrosse, you're in. If not, you have little chance. The early pool is largely comprised of the hooked: recruited athletes, legacies and an ever increasing number of URMs. There is no real advantage ED if you're not hooked. Also, Dartmouth says they are not looking at writing scores this year.</p>
<p>Would Filipino-American count as an URM? I hate being lumped into the Asian group, because we really aren't asian. I know that chinese people aren't a URM. I'm also something like 4% Blackfoot Indian, but I think I need 8% to be considered a member of my tribe. Its too bad, solely because being American Indian is not unlike a ticket to college (coupled with my stats) these days.</p>
<p>Although I understand what you meant(and I still have love for you:)) please don't use points as some people may misunderstand (I, know semantics and part of the UMich case was because points were being given). </p>
<p>Yes, being black, hispanic and native american does give you a boost in the admissions process because these students are underpreresented and are in small numbers at many of the elite colleges.</p>
<p>last year The Dartmouth ran a series of articles examining higher education admissions in the wake of last year's University of Michigan Supreme Court decisions. </p>
<p>Happy reading</p>
<p>**In admissions, many get 'special' attention **</p>
