<p>Hi. I am a female from a small public school in rural CT.
Class rank: 3/141
GPA: 4.2 weighted
AP English: 3 on test
AP US history: did not take test
thats all the AP classes our school offers
I've taken all the highest level classes in each subject, including college ones.
SAT: 720CR, 700 writing, 670 math, 2090 total</p>
<p>EC's:
Band: clarinet, also play a multitude of other instruments
Drama: all four years, two plays a year
Irish step dancing: 14 years
Worked at library
Independent research on the natural history of the snapping turtles and other turtles in the eastern north american waters.</p>
<p>Disregard his comments. While hardly laughable, I do think Dartmouth might be a bit of a stretch for you. But you never know. Pour your heart into your essays and good luck!</p>
<p>I think that your independent research with turtles, and the Irish step dancing makes you an interesting candidate. From what I have learned so far, these schools are reaches for everyone. Good luck</p>
<p>That isn't an incredible stretch. I would take the SATs if you have another chance but just focus on your essays and hope for the best. Your SAT is a bit low but they are definitely not everything. My very good friend got in last year with identical stats and no stellar hook. Good luck.</p>
