<p>2.9 gpa Freshman year? Ouch…</p>

<p>However, you trend is decent. I would say 70% chance of acceptance.</p>

4

<p>I’d have to very much disagree with the above. Dartmouth accepted 11% of applicants this year. Your GPA will not be competitive.</p>

5

<p>What were the circumstances for your low freshman GPA?</p>

6

<p>Well, in short, I didn’t care about college or life after high school. My GC will elaborate a little bit more.</p>

7

<p>What is your current class rank?</p>

8

<p>Probably top 10%</p>

<p>Your scores are fantastic and ED helps a lot. Your ECs aren’t too bad either. The GPA hurts, but I still think you are more likely to be admitted than not. I’ll give you 51%.</p>

<p>Please put changes threads only in the chances forum.</p>
