You obviously have strengths in the math area.
From what I've learned you need 1 very strong hook along with excellence in everything else (GPA, EC's, SAT's) to be admitted to a most selective college.
Your hook will get you in, everything qualifies you to apply.
Figure out what you're best at and push that, as in the Dartmouth Calc course.
Contact the head of the Math Dept at whatever course your looking at and start a dialog.
Ask about dept strengths, etc. and figure out how you fit in.
Williams may be your best fit, or it may not.
I'd strongly recommend a sleep over and attend classes and talk to professors to get a feel for the school.</p>
<p>You look like a strong candidate.
A tip; clean up your typing skills when contacting the elite colleges.
I know it's not important when chatting with friends, or on CC, but it makes for an easier read if you take time to spell correctly, etc.
Good luck!</p>
