<p>I think you have a VERY good chance of getting in. You have great SAT scores, a good GPA, and lots of APs (since when did they have a Latin Catullus AP? Haha my latin teacher would have never taught us that). Also it seems like you are really committed to all your ECs and have gotten a ton of awards. Work on a fabulous essay and hopefully we'll see you here next year!</p>

<p>I can't say how old it is, but i absolutely LOVE the catullus AP. You read about fifty Catullus poems including 200 lines of Thesius and Ariadne, but none of the dirty poems... (I read 16 on my own, best extracurricular latin i ever read...) You also choose from Ovid, Horace, and Martial to read another ~1000 lines. We did the ovid, and read 5 stories from the Metamorphoses, and 5 from the Amores. By as much as i loved Catullus' "sal," by so much i appreciated Ovid's mostly simple sentences and vocabulary. The AP exam wasn't very difficult, but mostly because i prepared a LOT. </p>

<p>By the way, it was hilarious to ask my teacher what "irrumator" means, to which she could only reply, "****er."</p>

<p>I'd say you have a good shot, but why not take the Math IIC? If you got an AIME invitation, you'd be a virtual lock for an 800. Other than that, your ECs are impressive with a good language under your belt. Best of luck to you!</p>

<p>do you even need to ask? lol. of course ur in</p>

<p>I would not say of course you are in because NYers are highly represented at Dartmouth as most of the Ivies (along with students from Ca, and Ma) so coming from any of those states do not make you a shoo-in simply because you will be in a very large competitive pool (especially because none of the ivies are not at a loss of applicants from NYC, LI and westchester county). Your chances will increase applying ED vs. RD.</p>
