<p>your ECs are good, in my opinion
my only concern would be your test scores, since dartmouth's mid 50% are as follows:
SAT Verbal Range, middle 50% for matriculating students: 670 - 770
SAT Math Range, middle 50% for matriculating students: 680 – 780
ACT Range, middle 50% for matriculating students: 29-34

<p>Did you send in a CD of your violin playing?</p>

4

<p>BrylinMoyGyeroy,</p>

<p>I agree with c1v4 that your ECs look great. </p>

<p>Your standardized test scores and your class standing however are all a bit below comfort level for many of the Ivies. I think that would be the general consensus from looking at all last year's and this year's Ivy decision threads on CC. Have you checked these out?</p>

<p>Are you treating Dartmouth as a high reach? What are the other schools to which you"ve applied?</p>

5

<p>Who's Brylin? You're not referring to Sergei Brylin, the hockey player, are you?</p>

6

<p>your ec's are very good i think. its apparent that you only do activities that mean something to you. i wish more people were like that.</p>

7

<p>Haha, this is a very late reply...
Thanks guys for answering!
And yes, Xanatos, I am referring to Sergei Brylin the hockey player:)</p>

8

<p>Ahh, then it makes sense that he's your hero, as he was pretty instrumental in the Devils winning the Cup a couple times.</p>

9

<p>EC's are strong, but let's hope they overlook the 35/289.</p>

10

<p>I doubt that's gonna be a huge issue but the SATs are definitely pretty low.</p>
