<p>anyone? thx in advance</p>

3

<p>you're gpa is a little low. Sat 2 mat 2 is way low. maybe 5% to 10%</p>

4

<p>thanks for taking the time to reply:)
anyone else have an opinion?</p>

5

<p>SAT's and SAT II's arent everything...my sister had all of her SAT II's below 700 and was still accepted to MIT and Cornell. In the end, i think the admissions process is a little friendlier than everyone thinks. Your GPA may be a little low but if you emphasize other strengths in your application you could have an alright shot. best of luck.</p>

<p>thanks a lot for your reply chelskid51
anyone else?</p>

<p>Your SAT (2200) is not weak at all for Dartmouth...but it's not incredibly strong (more or less average). Your SAT IIs are a little weak, though. Emphasize your important ECs, maybe retake some IIs, and you've got a solid shot.</p>

8

<p>thanks d3!ty
Im definately gonna consider retaking some SAT2s</p>

9

<p>Your chances are about 10% if everything stays the same.</p>

10

<p>I have no clue what your ECs are, but are they like your awards i.e. are they all in junior or senior year?</p>

11

<p>I suppose most of them are, but I've played basketball all four years of high school</p>

12

<p>Anyone else have an opinion?
Thanks a lot everyone who has already posted:)</p>

<p>if your looking for northeast ivy ...with your stats,a little low, dont forget cornell ..they have a bit more room with larger freshman class
beautiful campus, great reputation..
my son loves dartmouth but he did a summer at cornell and would have been happy going there if dart rejected</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply. I retook Sat 2 Math 2 and did a little better but not much better as I would have liked. Isaac, I have looked into other Ivys including Cornell, but Dartmouth is my favorite hands down.</p>
