<p>I’m not too familiar with Dartmouth since I’m not applying there, but I think Rice and Cornell should be matches to reaches for you. Use your ACT score. I think the SAT IIs could have been higher, and maybe a few more APs before senior year, but that’s probably something small. Were the rest honors classes and such?</p>
<p>side note: which band are you in? because I’m in band too! we were going to go to Nationals this year, but the scheduling didn’t work out for us that well :(</p>
<p>Your stats are pretty decent, esp. your ACT in comparison to your SAT. You really should’ve had more AP’s your Jr. year, that’s a real biggie (although overlooked by most CCers since its so common). I’d have your band coach/teacher/conductor/leader-guy write you one heck of a rec to really show any dedication in band (as it’s high ranked and seems to be your only EC).</p>
<p>Unless this band thing is really big, I’d give you a high to mid-high reach mostly because of a lack of any other EC’s (they understand it’s hard to balance, but you still should’ve had some clubs and some leadership at the least).</p>
