<p>I realize my EC's are pretty weak, but I devote so much time to sports that I don't have time for alot of other things. I have had some contact with the football coach, but I'm not getting recruited and I don't have any interest in playing sports in college.
Thanks for any evaluation you can give me.</p>

<p>I'm sorry to hear about your rejection, Yale EA is really brutal.</p>

<p>I think you have a very, very solid chance of getting into Dartmouth RD. Good luck. I hope you will/have looked into the school and found what makes it unique.</p>

<p>Thanks for the support. Yale EA was truly brutal as you said. Before I found this site I thought I should've been at least deferred, but after seeing people more qualified than me rejected, its really shocking.
Anyway, I have looked into the school, and have talked to numerous people about it. It is my first choice now that Yale is out of the question.</p>

<p>comparatively, i can say you have a much much better shot at dartmouth rd than i do...(mostly because of a dismal 1340 SAT score)</p>
