<p>I agree with legooo. You’ve a very competitive applicant, and with a higher ACT score, you could definitely have a shot at getting accepted to Dartmouth. </p>

<p>The only thing I’m wondering is, which of your extracurriculars are you passionate about? There seems to be breadth but not necessarily depth; which activities are you most invested in, have spent the most time on, love doing most, etc.?</p>

<p>Ya i agree with TheBeatlestoday, i think i will focus on my religious involvement and political service.</p>

<p>What score on the Act would help my application?</p>
