<p>I think with all the EC’s and rigor and definitely legacy you have a great shot of getting in, definitely higher than the regular applicants. Good luck!

<p>I would say it’s a high match. </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>The legacy helps you, but your scores and grades are obviously great, but not necessarily Dartmouth level. Just like many applicants, you will have a chance. It’s a crapshoot. Just having a chance is all you can hope for. Good luck!</p>

<p>Fellow Austinite here! I know a friend who was admitted to Dartmouth that was also an Eagle Scout and had a 34 ACT. Great ECs who’ve got there, the only thing you got going against you maybe is “white male” haha. My friend was hispanic, but you can’t really do much about that. Out of curiosity, what high school do you attend?</p>

<p>McCallum Fine Arts Academy</p>

<p>Neat coincidence!</p>
