<p>I'm enthusiastic, but my SAT scores ruin all of that. They aren't too bad. AP scores are pretty good, but I don't know how much that will help. I'm just counting on the rest of my stuff to even it out.</p>

<p>I was going to pm you about it, but I guess you found out all by yourself. :P</p>
<p>hmm, what do you mean "sat scores ruining all of that"? by now we should now that admissions is unhinged and unpredictable.</p>
<p>I'm so scared to be enthusiastic about any school in particular after my ed school's rejection. dartmouth would be wonderful though</p>
<p>OBSESSED WITH DARTMOUTH love the campus and social atmosphere id say its a #1 or 2 college for me</p>
<p>cuRRent, for some reason, I just don't do well on these standardized tests. My academic record is stellar. My extracurricular activities show two strong passions. My teachers thought I wrote an awesome essay. My teacher recommendations and peer recommendations are great too. I just don't know if that will be able to compensate for the lower test scores. And yes, I know how unpredictable and random admissions can be.</p>
<p>megsy1990, I was similar with the SAT... I just couldn't seem to do any better, and I knew I should be getting a higher score.</p>
<p>...Then I took the ACT and got a 35. SO HAPPY!</p>
<p>Have you taken the ACT? If that still didn't work for you, then oh well, we all know that the Dartmouth adcoms look <em>way</em> beyond simple stats and care much more about the kind of person you are than just simple numbers.</p>
<p>That didn't work out either. My SAT IIs and APs are good though. I have mid-700s on three of them and 5s and 4s on 4 AP tests.</p>
<p>However, one thing might help: Dartmouth has accepted every applicant in my school over the past five years. Some of those students have had sub-par academic records, but they were accepted.</p>
<p>Megsy, this is our school. Your school is definitely crazy.</p>

<p>Good luck, LesOs, and everyone else. Btw, anyone know where the '12 ED thread went?</p>
<p>does anyone know when they release regular admission decisions? and do they release them online or only through mail?</p>
