<p>You have good scores, but your ECs are kind of weak. You do have great work and volunteer experiences though, so I'd play those up if I were you. And unfortunately, being half Asian may possibly hurt your chances, but then again, being half Hispanic may help them. It's in the air I guess. Good luck with everything!</p>

<p>ya lol, my biracial ethnicity status is confusing me.</p>

<p>i dunno if it'll help me or not. oh and doesnt extra-curricular mean everything that you do outside of academia?</p>

<p>I don't think your ECs are weak at all. Basically: you have a good chance.</p>

<p>Maybe I am nuts, but when I look at stats like that I see a pretty damn good candidate. I am wondering what more you think a kid should have?! Enough already with all these uber-achievers! Good luck HARVARDman312,( even though my son is applying to Dartmouth too!)</p>

<p>lol thx guys. and twosonmom, im sure your son is very smart and i hope he gets in.</p>

<p>sigh...my CR score is killing me! heavens, why am i so bad at reading? lol maybe because i never read novels, even as a kid. i only read science and technology magazines cuz they are so interesting and affect modern society...</p>

<p>dude those scores are OK .... chill ... ( I had 690 and got in ED)</p>

8

<p>I'd say you have at least as good a chance as anyone...</p>
