<p>Hey! I'm a Native American who does very well academically and is very interested in Dartmouth. My question is, what exactly is required to apply as a Native American to Dartmouth and other universities?</p>
<p>Merci beaucoup!</p>
<p>Just check in Native American on the application sheet and try to include it in your college essay.</p>
<p>Some schools require documentation indicating your tribal affiliation.</p>
<p>Some universities will ask you your race. But i think Dartmouth belongs to an Ivy League. I think the most important are GPA with 4.0 and your Test score. Essays are also important.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The Ivy League schools ask applicants their races as well. This category may be omitted, though. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>A 4.0 GPA is not required.</p>
<p>Yes. 4.0 is not required but you will get a better chance if you get 4.0</p>
<p>As opposed to a lower GPA? Well sure.</p>
<p>Luckily I have a 4.0/6.0! So, yeah, I hope it helps! Thanks you guys!</p>
<p>Out of 6.7?</p>
<p>Oops I typed it incorrectly the first time. I meant 6.0. And no, like 4.0 unweighted, and 6.0 weighted.</p>
<p>That puts you in good shape, assuming everything else is solid.</p>

<p>The original poster asked a legitimate question and is wise to consider how to prepare for college admission. Just as the question was raised, he received some good answers, and I was merging other simultaneous threads into the latest iteration of the </p>

<p>FAQ thread. Because this thread received some good answers already, and merger would have messed up the reply sequence, this thread was temporarily closed. </p>
<p>Friendly suggestion: GENERAL follow-ups can go to the FAQ and Discussion thread </p>

<p>(as experience has shown that multiple threads on ethnicity as an admission factor tend to accumulate flames and rumors rapidly) or SPECIFIC follow-ups about one applicant’s chances can to the usual </p>

<p>Sorry about that, it’s just that a couple of questions came up at quite the same time about the same issue as that covered by the FAQ thread </p>

<p>Good luck on your applications.</p>
