<p>Location: competitive private in New England
Rank: school doesn't rank
GPA: 4.0 out of 4.3
SAT: 2320 one sitting
SAT IIs: Chemistry 760, just wrote French and Spanish. Probably a 780 on Spanish but something very unflattering (think mid high 600s) for French because I rushed through the reading questions. I got there 12 minutes after they started but they let me in (the first and only time I will be driving by myself to the test center). Definitely retaking it in November or December, with listening.</p>
<p>Classes: most rigorous curriculum
AP Exams: Chemistry 5, Spanish 4</p>
<p>Extra-curriculars:
Yearbook layout editor (2 years)
Basketball (1 year, alas I am only an alternate).
School Publicity Committee (4 years): People, clubs, organizations send us information about school events or whatever they want on the posters, and our committee divides up the work. We essentially create every single poster/advertisement that's ever been put up at school
Language publication editor (1 year)</p>
<p>Awards
DELF B1 (French language certifications), 1 national math award, school awards for excellency in foreign languages, placed in a couple of regional language contests, won a scholarship to study in Spain for three weeks.</p>
<p>Summers
Worked for the newspaper, got a college credit in nanoengineering.</p>
<p>Recommendations:

<p>Essays:
Decent, not unique, but I feel that it's me.</p>
<p>Right now I'm feeling that Dartmouth is going to be a crapshoot, even if I'm pretty good at langauges and am focusing my essays on them. Opinions? Please be honest, I have really thick skin (:</p>
