<p>You have a chance. It appears that much will depend upon your essays and letters of recommendations, only one of which you can control.</p>
<p>Your 35 on the ACT is fine, so don’t worry about the SAT I. If I’m not mistaken, Dartmouth requires two SAT IIs – whether you submit the SAT I or the ACT – so you should take Math II and one other one. </p>
<p>What you’ll eventually come to realize is that it’s impossible to accurately evaluate these chance threads, particularly when all we have access to is a list of your scores and ECs, without even a brief explanation of the latter. The Dartmouth admissions committee will have access to much more information, and will therefore make a much more informed decision.</p>
<p>To improve your chances at Dartmouth – or at any school, really – I think you need to fit the school’s personality. I’ve noticed that the vast majority of my classmates are much like me: intelligent, laid back, humble, and socially adept. Few of us are raging intellectuals who only sit in an ivory tower and write proofs. We are, of course, intellectual, but we’re also pretty normal, which is, I think, why we produce some of the world’s most successful graduates. </p>
<p>So, in your Dartmouth application, try to come across as someone with the aforementioned qualities. If you can do that, I think you stand a pretty good shot. </p>
<p>Best of luck to you.</p>
