<p>Would have been better just to list UW GPA for each year, W is meaningless.</p>

<p>Anyways, since you have an upward trend, ED, Ecs and legacy i feel like you have a pretty good chance of getting in.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, I am unsure what my UW GPA is.</p>

4

<p>If your crew team is so good and you are the “MVR” are you recruitable/have you talked to the coach? Either way you look like a very good candidate.</p>

5

<p>bump!!!</p>

<p>You have a great shot. I’d put Dartmouth in the Low reach / High match category for you. With the legacy, great test scores, and various EC’s you seem like a very competitive candidate.</p>

<p>Chance back?</p>

<p>Good academics, decent ECs, and a major hook. I would say Dartmouth is a high match/low reach.</p>

<p>chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1574644-please-chance-my-ed-ea-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1574644-please-chance-my-ed-ea-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Though Dartmouth has gotten especially more difficult in the past years, I think if the academic advisor said your brother will count as legacy, that should really help. With overall solid stats I think it’s probably a high match.</p>

<p>Chance me back please! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1578204-williams-ed.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1578204-williams-ed.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>It is at the best a high match. Good luck! Please get me back.</p>

<p>Agree with everyone else: you’ve got a solid chance for an Ivy League school!</p>

<p>You look pretty good. Gpa is obviously on the low side but your extracurriculars are pretty damn impressive. I can tell jist by reading this that youre pretty good at writing so your essays probably good. I would say low reach only because it’s an Ivy and admission is tough for everyone.</p>

<p>Chance me?</p>
