<p>The limit is 10 activities on Common App so that is all I could add.</p>
<p>Summer Activites:
I attended the Global Young Leaders Conference in Washington DC. It was a 2 week program.
I also attended the 2 month Stanford summer program where I took Human Physiology and Economics and scored A and B+ respectively.</p>
<p>Essay:
My essay is apparently amazing - Heard from two of my english teachers, a college guidance counselor, and other friends from school.
Its about when I failed a piano piece during a concert and then I felt like **** but then everyone thought I did well so I came up with a theory that failure is only relative. the essay title - My Theory of Relativity </p>
<p>Recommendations:
My recommendations are amazing too - The teachers have great impressions of me.</p>
<p>I feel like my weakness lies in my SATs scores but could you please chance me anyways. Thank you very much.</p>
<p>I think you have a chance. However, if you got your scores up, you have a better chance. I wouldn’t go overboard with the extracurricular activities (meaning I wouldn’t add more than the 10 the common app gives you) because the admissions committee would already get a sense of who you are based on the the 10 activities you fill in the common app. Good luck! My sister went to Dartmouth and she loved it there.</p>
<p>I got a peer evaluation from my school principal. He wanted to write me a rec so I think it would have been good. </p>
<p>What I am freaking out about right now is he fact that I applied 4 hours late. It was due 4 hours ago EST. I had problems with internet (I’m in India) on jan 1st coz of all the New Year commotion. Anyways, it is my fault for applying at the last minute but what will happen?</p>
<p>I heard people say that Dart asks for peer rec only hoping to prove that you do have friends and your are not a nerdy geek… so I think any peer will do :)</p>
<p>Dart would be a reach to you because of your SAT scores. pretty good EC though, and if you can work hard on your essays you do have a good shot. </p>
