<p>About me....</p>

<p>SATs 750 reading 660 math 630 writing - I took them again and I'll be getting my scores in about a week
630 Chem 690 Lit </p>

<p>I only took one AP this year and anticipate at least a 4 on the Euro test - I'll be taking three more next year (I'm a junior now) </p>

<p>GPA 3.7 unweighted (my school calculates differently then most schools - not all As are 4.0)
If I had to guess I'd say I am in the top 10-5% of my class, they don't calculate it </p>

<p>I've taken all honors and AP courses except for math, 10th grade I had to take US history CP because I moved too late to get into an honors class
I moved right before my sophmore year from California to Massachusetts, which caused my schedule to be kind of messed up</p>

<p>ECs
volleyball four years (captain one - three years in state quarter-finals)
varsity swimming (lettered) and jv water polo freshmen year (not offered in MASS)
community service club
volleyball club
JO volleyball
two steady jobs (three including baysitting)
community service 2-3 hours a week at least
national honors society senior year
I also spend about six hours a week training for volleyball in the off-season</p>

<p>I've won awards in art for ceramics</p>

<p>any help or suggestions would be appreciated - thanks!</p>

<p>You have some pretty good ecs, I think you should get your SAT scores higher, especially the SAT IIs</p>

3

<p>eh i dont really see anything stellar</p>

4

<p>I would say extremely unlikely, even ED. If you really like the Dartmouth atmosphere I would say retake SATs and go for it ED. Otherwise, apply to similar, but less selective substitutes (Middlebury, Colgate, Hamilton, Bucknell, Washington & Lee).</p>

5

<p>new SATS - 710 math 700 reading 680 reading</p>

<p>2160 with old reading score</p>

6

<p>are you looking to get recruited?</p>

7

<p>I don't know how much Dartmouth looks at the writing score, but you might want to raise that a bit. Subject tests aren't what one would call excellent either. You might have a shot with sports though.</p>

8

<p>I miss-typed </p>

<p>710 math 700 writing 680 reading (750 on previous test)</p>

<p>I'd love to play volleyball for them, the only problem is I'm shorter than most who play division one. I think I'll try anyway though</p>

9

<p>Just apply, see what happens. And don't even mention the cost or so help me.</p>

10

<p>cost to apply? I couldn't care less - my parents are paying for that. </p>

<p>Hence the applying to fifteen-ish schools :)</p>
