What is Dartmouth's acceptance rate for the Social Sciences?

<p>Hey Everyone,</p>

<p>I am extremely interested in applying ED to Dartmouth or PENN as an Econ Major? What is the acceptance rate for the social sciences school here at Dartmouth? How does it compare to PENN</p>

<p>my high school's GPA is Graded on a weighed 5.0 scale and does not give any brownie points for subjects like gym, culinary etc. Only Academic subjects are scored. My high school is also a gold medal high school, ranking around 250 in the nation out of 21,000 High schools.</p>

<p>Freshman Year: I had a lack of care in middle school which resulted in my enrollment in B level classes.
GPA- 3.44 (straight A-'s and A's)</p>

<p>Sophomore year: All Honors level courses. Sophomore difficulty rank- 10/10
GPA-4 .55 (Top of class)</p>

<p>Junior Year: 4 AP's 2 Honors. Junior Difficulty Rank- 10/10
GPA- 4.75 (Top of Class)</p>

<p>I am expecting the same thing for my senior year.</p>

<p>After acquiring straight A-'s in low level my Freshman year, I took a risk of moving into all honors classes which resulted in all A+'s. My Junior year I took 4 AP's and 2 Honors classes, agin receiving all A+'s. Since colleges like to see vast improvement over the course of your HS career, I'm hoping the low level classes during my freshman year will be to benefit, as I received all A+'s in high level throughout the rest of my career.</p>

<p>SAT:
-2230
SAT II:
1550</p>

<p>Dartmouth acceptance rate is about 10%. Everyone applies in as undeclared so there are no acceptance rates by major/area. Penn acceptance rate is about 12% but at Penn you apply into each individual college so acceptance rate depends on which college you apply. Wharton (business school) is hard to get into. CAS (college of arts and sciences) is easier to get into.</p>
