Dartmouth Early Decision

<p>How are my chances for Dartmouth ED? I just want to know if I even stand a chance so that I would maybe pick an easier school to get in to apply ED.</p>

<p>SAT: 2290 (WR: 800 M:800 CR: 690) one-sitting
SAT II: Chem: 790 Math 2: 790 Korean: 800 Physics: 800
GPA (9-11): W 4.31 UW 3.88 (All A's during freshman and junior year, 4 B's sophomore due to struggles)
AP: Sophomore year: World (4)
Junior year: US History (5), Chemistry (5), AP Calc AB (5), AP physics B (4), AP Psychology (4)</p>

<p>Various Extracurriculars...</p>

<p>Peer and teacher rec should be very solid, and my essay should be decent (still needs tweaking).</p>

<p>Dart is almost always a reach unless if you have extraordinary qualifications or hooks.</p>

<p>Dartmouth - reach
Try NYU Or BC as matches.</p>

<p>I’m an international applying for aid (Income: 20K) and I was hoping to apply ED for Dartmouth because they are need blind towards internationals… </p>

<p>Any other feedback?</p>
