-Model UN

-Student Congress - head of Community Service committee; there's no president or anything
-Ski Club
-Math Team - placed 3rd in state for last 2 years.
-Spanish Honor Society
-Mu Alpha Theta
-Volunteer at a hospital ~4hrs/week (only in Fall/Winter)
-Referee youth hockey games (Just started this winter)
- Will be in NHS next year, it's restricted to seniors.</p>
<p>Do you have an idea of where you fall in rank? I.e top 1% 5% or possibly ranked 1st or 2nd in the class?</p>
<p>They actually don’t rank even internally, but I’d venture that I’m in the top 5%.</p>
<p>First of all, if you need anyone to help you branch out of state for the Panama club, count me in. My bro is in Panama, too!</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Focus on that club a lot. You other ECs don’t stand out too much. </p></li>
<li><p>You are in a underrepresented minority (Hispanic), so you do have better chances. </p></li>
<li><p>You look competitive for Dartmouth, and an attainable reach for Dartmouth and MIT. Just try to do the best you can on Math.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>URM (check hispanic on common app for a maximized boost) with your stats and ECs will get you in Dartmouth ED; MIT EA may be bit more of a stretch (EA there doesn’t really give much of a boost) but it’s not ruled out, esp. with URM advantage. If you love Dartmouth, and only if you love it, ED is def. the way to go.</p>
<p>You’ll want to describe what you’ve specifically accomplished with your non-profit. Just starting one doesn’t mean anything. I don’t know what you’ve done already, but you should look into expanding yours; it seems like it has a lot of potential. A 2350+ SAT score would also help a lot for MIT, especially since you don’t have any math/science ECs.</p>
<p>As for current chances, I would say you have medium to high chances at Dartmouth and medium chances at MIT.</p>
<p>Good chance at Dartmouth. MIT is low reach. Remember Taft many others will have great math/science ECs.</p>
<p>Any thoughts on Harvard EA?</p>
