<p>You definitely have a shot- of course nobody can guarantee if you'll get in, but you definitely have great chances of getting in. </p>

<p>You should aim for 750+ (my general rule) for SAT2's. As for the retaking the SAT- it's up to you. I think your scores are sufficient though. </p>

<p>Your essay (there's only one for Dartmouth, just to let you know) also reminds me a lot of my own essay that I wrote about being a second/third generation Bengali (if you want to know how, PM me). And I got in, so yeah, you're definitely on the right track.</p>
