<p>Dartmouth is the most unpredictable of all universities I have seen 2400’s with stellar ec’s and class toppers get rejected while 2000’s with ok grades get in. While you have solid shot at any university with the way your application stacks up but, you can never be sure with these universities they are a reach for everyone.

<p>Your GPA at 3.69 UW might be a little on the less side for a university like dartmouth… Don’t get me wrong your App overall is really good! I would say dartmouth would be a reach for you. Just hope for the best! Have you applied to other places?</p>
<p>I think that your overall app is great but ivies are always reaches for everyone though I’d say you have a better chance than others. Good luck!

<p>Ivies are all reaches… like everyone else said.</p>
<p>GPA is low…</p>
<p>ECs - Most colleges nowadays like to see one or two ECs where you participate in the most and have dedicated most of your extra time to, whereas multiple (I count 15) clubs where you spread out your experience. Not to say colleges don’t want well rounded students but they want well-rounded in the academic sense more than the EC sense.</p>
<p>@redwall1521 should I leave some EC’s out of my application?</p>
<p>Low gpa for dartmouth but you’ve got an ok shot</p>
