<p>Hello,
I applied RD to all of my colleges, so right now I'm in the excruciating "waiting period"; perhaps a little speculation will make me feel better... At any rate, here are my stats:</p>

<p>4.0 GPA (UW)
2340 SAT (800 CR, 790 Math, 750 Writing)
35-36 ACT (two different tests--I sent both b/c my essay score on the 36 was terrible)
2 APs, both this year (I only had the opportunity to take one more)
5-6 honors courses, depending on what they count (once again, only had the opportunity to take one more)
National Merit Finalist</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Ballet (last 5 years)
Environmental Club: treasurer sophomore year; raised money to go on service trip to Mexico last year--worked with sea turtle conservation biologists
International Club: treasurer last year; went to Model UN last spring & am going to Model UN again this year
Human Rights Club: member since last year; this year president
City Human Rights Commission: first high school student appointed to a city commission (last spring); currently secretary
National Honor Society member</p>

<p>Do you think that I have a shot at Dartmouth?
Thanks!</p>

<p>Excellent shot with your stats and being from the middle of nowhere.</p>

3

<p>excellent stats, ok ECs. Whether you will get in depends on your essays then.</p>

4

<p>Do you know your class rank? That's pretty important for Dartmouth.</p>

5

<p>I'm pretty sure I'm in a 7-way tie for #1 (my school doesn't weight GPA, so there are a lot of ties). I put some solid work into my essays--fingers crossed!</p>

6

<p>I got a likely letter today--it says that there's "no question" that I'll be accepted when they mail the official letters out. Yay! Thanks so much for your input. Dartmouth is pretty much my first choice, so I couldn't be happier. :)</p>

<p>Congrats!</p>

<p>Way to go. Kudos. You'll love Dartmouth, most of here do -- though Winter term has been brutal.</p>

<p>Congrats. BTW, your ECs are beyond "okay." Obviously! :D</p>

<p>Felicitations, Cygne! So glad you made it. With your impressive stats, you were probably the only one who doubted it. You'll love it there. Best of luck in drop-dead gorgeous Hanover!</p>
