Hm.. my chances @ Dartmouth?

<p>I love Dartmouth, but I do realize that it's a big reach school for me. I'd like to ED Dartmouth/ EA Georgetown, but I'm wondering how good (or bad) my chances are. My other choices include Notre Dame and Emory. Brutally honest opinions are welcome! </p>

<p>My stats:</p>

<p>Cathlic Asian female from Georgia
GPA- 4.0 (W) School does not rank
SATI- 790M, 650V, 750W (will take again in 2 days)
SATII- Literature, physics, IIC, Korean (will take in Oct and Nov)
ACT- 34 (will take again next Sat) </p>

<p>I've taken the most advanced classes, including 6 AP's junior year: calculus AB, English language, U.S. history, art history, physics C, and Latin literature. I'll find out the scores in July. </p>

<p>I'll take 7 AP's my senior year: literature, U.S. government, comparative government, macroecon, music theory, calculus BC, and Latin: Vergil.</p>

<p>EC:
-NHS (4) treasurer
-Latin Club (1,2,3) VP
-Model UN (3,4) treasurer, best delegate award at W&M conference
-Odyssey of Mind (1,2) 1st @ state competition
-student advisory board (1,2,3)
-yearbook editor (3)
-Latin Honor Society (2,3)
-Leadership Club (1,2,3)
-Mu Alpha Theta (2)
-Beta Club (4)
-Governor Honors Program finalist (Latin)</p>

<p>-marching band (1,2) section leader
-district honor band (1,2)
-all-state band (2)
-youth symphony orchestra, principal chair
-my flute choir performed at the National Flute Convention '04</p>

<p>-varsity tennis (1,2), lettered, #1 single, ranked top 40 in state
-varsity cross country (1,2), lettered</p>

<p>Volunteering:
-teaching @ vacational bible school during summer (~90 hours)
-helping a scientist with a research on endangered species of turtles on St. Croix during summer(~90 hours)
-Community Outreach (~30 hours)
-plus NHS and Beta volunteer hours</p>

<p>My EC's are inconsistent because I transferred after my sophomore year. Transferred students at my new school cannot play sports for a year..</p>

<p>I would say you have as good a chance as anyone. If you can get your verbal above 700, you'll be in great shape. I'd include a note in your app detailing your transfer and the effect it had on your EC's. Remember, try to show that you are passionate and enthused about your EC's, and keep in mind that admissions at any top school are a crapshoot, and that although Dartmouth was also my first choice, there are many schools out there that would also be right for you.</p>

<p>Best of luck!
