<p>Other: I want to major in History so I participated in National History Day at the regional level in 11th grade.
I expect my teacher recs to be good, counselor rec good, etc.</p>
<p>Your chances have to be excellent, especially if your recommendations match your stats. Make sure that you get someone to do a good job on the peer review. (Meaning that they write something specific about you, not that they put down a bunch of positive generalities. Better ask right away, since your peers will be doing their own apps now!)</p>
<p>I asked my closest guy friend...someone told me it's better to ask someone of the opposite sex, and I've known him since like the third grade, a lot longer than my boyfriend (who I probably wouldn't have asked anyway because it's just a little awkward).</p>
<p>You can send the ED agreement and supplement online too, if you invite your parent and counselor to the site through the invite link in the common app's school forms section.. Else, send it through snail mail.</p>
<p>Key Club=sort of volunteer thingie precursor to NHS because at our school NHS is only for seniors.</p>
<p>ephemeral...you've NO idea how many people I've had shocked, gaping mouths wide open, for that same reason :)</p>
<p>Oh and to add...I have a majorly upward grade trend - freshman year was really rocky, alot of B/B+'s, but only one B sophomore year, and straight A's junior year! I hope they realize freshman year was a big transition for me though.</p>
<p>honestly, i know that whatever happens now is what's meant to be. My friend wrote my peer rec, and she/he (I don't want to divulge too much info) mailed it. After mailing it they wanted to show me, and it moved me to tears. I realize that no matter what my decision is, i have wonderful friends behind me. Hopefully I get into Dartmouth, because getting in ED would not only be amazing for me - it would be amazing for my friend, and they'd feel like they'd helped me reach my goal-which they have, no matter what.</p>
<p>i don't think you realize that if you don't get in, NO ONE will get in. I'll repeat what I said awhile back... a cheerleader with a 2340 SAT = ideal.</p>
