Took the same competition again in 11th grade. Gathered students from all over the city from diferrent schools, Won the Asian Regionals and then went on as a winner at International FInals( for which i was at Space Centre Houston,Nasa). THis Competion is labelled as one of the 5 most tough competitions in the world.

I might get another on from my mentor at the ISSDC competition. He holds a good office in an private army weaponary manufacturer.</p>

So it might help you locating my position......

<p>dartmouth is need blind
it shouldnt affect ur admissions decision</p>

<p>Dartmouth is not need blind to international students. They are only need blind to the following groups: U.S. citizens and permanent residents, citizens of Canada and Mexico.</p>

<p>If admitted, Dartmouth will meet 100% of your demonstrated need. Keep in mind that the school matriculates less than 70 international students.</p>

<p>for the class of 2008, there was only one international student from india who matriculated (from Mumbai)</p>

<p>I'm rather worried about that! let's see...</p>

<p>So am i good enough to get in?? I'm sure they might wanna increase the number fo students they take in from india... considering many other top schools do....</p>

<p>why don't you wait until you have something more concrete to work with. The net-net is that all of the ives are reaches for international students just because of the sheer number of applications for a limited number of admissions. If you are a junior college student, you may have to apply as a transfer student which may further limit your chances for admissions (as they are even less transfer admits).</p>

<p>No one can really assess what your chances are going to be because Dartmouth builds a class based on their institutional needs. All you can do is toss your hat in and let the process play it self out.</p>

<p>good luck</p>
