<p>Chances at Dartmouth ED, Middlebury, Tufts, Georgetown?
Should I retake my SAT?
Can anyone recommend safety schools? Am looking for the same type of thing - small New England LAC's.</p>

<p>Where in NJ are you from? I think u do have a chance at dartmouth if u go ed. Tufts would also probably accept you. I dunno about georgetown</p>

<p>retaking your SAT isn<code>t really that necessary, cosidering that you did already and made a good improvement. i looked into a different thread and it said that the SAT average at dartmouth is about 1460. i guess your chances at dartmouth are as good as anybody</code>s.</p>

<p>idk about safeties. but look at amherst and williams if ur looking at dartmouth, also maybe bates and bowdoin. if you really want a safety i would look at union college- they would give u a good scholarship and honors program and u could be recognized bc its a small school and u would most likely be top of class.</p>

<p>Thanks - I've got no shortage of match/reaches, I looked at Williams (visited) and liked it but I'm looking to major in languages and wasn't impressed with its offerings there.</p>

<p>fifawcs, I'm in Morris County in northwestern NJ. Are you from Jersey too?</p>

<p>no need to retake SAT</p>

<p>you are very competitive at those schools, i would not be at all surprised if you got accepted into all of them.</p>
