<p>You’re in. :)</p>

<p>I really can’t stand when someone posts to a forum simply to brag about their achievements. I’m sure you’ll get into every school to which you apply. Please (I’m begging you) try to work on your humility!!</p>

<p>thank you marmar and focused[=
focused: it’s not bragging AT ALL. Dartmouth is a top, extremely competitive college. People apply who, I feel, are MUCH more qualified than I am in terms of grades, SAT/ACT, and extracurricular accomplishments. I wanted an honest assessment as to whether or not people thought I had a shot against the extreme competition. That’s all. Have you seen any other chance threads on this site? I’m not even competition compared to half the people on here.</p>

<p>Your in. </p>

<p>…and actually, your stats are almost perfect. Plus, your an URM. If you don’t get in anywhere it probably means your essays and/or recs were just bad IMO.</p>

<p>LOL ‘Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion’</p>

<p>I’m sure Dartmouth would jump at the chance to accept you, just please, for dignity’s sake, omit your extraordinary communion-giving powers.</p>
