[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[] Essays: I like my essays a lot. Main commonapp one about professional wrestling, another about family heritage, and a third about my research interests and where I want to take them.
[] Teacher Rec #1: I didn’t read it. I assume it was good.
[] Teacher Rec #2: I didn’t read it. I assume it was good.
[] Additional Rec: Two research mentor recommendation letters from MIT Nuclear Engineering and Harvard SEAS professors. The MIT one was phenomenal. I didn’t read the Harvard one.

Why do you think you were accepted/rejected/waitlisted/offered guaranteed transfer: I think the research is what did it.

General Comments/Congratulations/etc: I will always be grateful to Dartmouth for being my first major acceptance. You guys rock; maybe I’ll see y’all in 4 years for grad school.

Stats:[ul]
[] SAT I (by section): 750 CR - 800 M - 690 W (8 essay, lol)
[] SAT IIs: 800 Math II - 800 Bio - 760 USH - 650 Physics - 510 日本語と聞くこと　haha - my Japanese is probably not that great
[] ACT: 35 (8 essay again, haha. I could never crack the essay…)
[] APs: 5 Bio - 5 USH - 5 Eng. Lang and Comp - 4 Comp Sci AB - 3 Euro History; plus 5 I’m taking this year for a total of 10 out of 13 offered.
[] IBs: Nope
[] GPA: 4.0 UW - 4.7ish W
[] Rank: 1/440
[] Other stats: Some awards from local sci fair (2nd runner up, 1st place Physics, etc.), Nat’l Latin Exam gold medals 3yrs, NMS Commended, some AP scholar thing, Boys State delegate(also elected State Assemblyman), nothing else really notable (as far as I can remember…)
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[] ECs listed on app: 4 yr Varsity Cross Country (not recruited), Co-captain; 3 yr Light Crew for school play; 4 yr Varsity Tennis (not recruited); 3 yr Science Club, President; 4 yr Latin Club, VP; lots of years playing guitar; 3 yr Math Team; Mayor’s Youth Advisory Comms. - just some small community service thing
[] Job/Work Experience: 4ish years at a deli every week, about a summer teaching tennis, election pollworking this last election
[] Essays (subject and responses): Main - one tennis match last year where I finally gained confidence in myself, EC - about Cross Country and how we’re all weird but fit in, Supplemental - Why Dartmouth? about a few specific things I liked. They’re kind of hard to explain in a few words.
[] Teacher Recs: I never saw them, but I think these teachers would have written me good ones.
[] Counselor Rec: didn’t see this one either, but I think it was good because she was really excited that I was her first val and I bothered her a lot during app season.
[] Applied on: Dec. 31st
[] Hook (if any): Not that I can see…
[/ul]
Location/Person:[ul]
[] State or Country: New Jersey

[] Ethnicity: White

[] Comments: I think the only thing that would’ve set me apart were my essays - I spent a lot of time brainstorming and revising, and I really liked the finished products. I got feedback from my GC’s intern who was an adcom at a not-very-selective private near me.
I also added an Additional Information packet (7ish pages I think) with descriptions of all of my activities and a few hobbies
[/ul]

Maybe after all this, whoever applied to HYPSM could post acceptances/rejections; maybe there is a correlation…
It might help ease the future classes a bit.
