<p>hey so I'm applying ED to Dartmouth... very difficult to get into seeing as I'm not a hooked candidate (athletically or with a legacy, anyways). Anyways I'm trying to prepare myself for rejection.</p>

<p>My extracurrics include a lot of leadership positions (I'm a science coach to prepare kids for the Science Olympiad, an editor for a magazine, etc.) My biggest accomplishment involves using a grant and starting up a new program at my school and actually teaching a subject that I really like... but it's so specific to me that I can't provide any more details before I risk revealing my identity to anyone from my school on this site. </p>
<p>RECs: from biology teacher (an alum to my ED), us history teacher, college counselor</p>
<p>I haven't read the recs, but my CC told me they were very strong. </p>
<p><strong>Here's the potential hook, although I'm not sure if its a hook at all</strong>:</p>
<p>I'm passionate about the arts and am submitting a very strong portfolio to all my schools. If an art professor wants me... how does that actually affect my app?</p>
<p>Essays: made my CC laugh. Got them okayed by my counselor and english teacher.</p>
<p>Thanks!!!</p>
<p>Oh, and ethnicity: biracial (eastern indian and caucasian)
both parents are immigrants who went to low-level colleges on scholarships, but have lived the american dream and done very well for themselves. So I'm a first generation american in my family. </p>
<p>let me know if i forgot anything!</p>
