Taking ACT in Dec expect 33+ or mother will kill me
Taking three subject tests in Dec as well expect 700 at least on all
Rank is in top 10%, not sure of exact
Essays are done and satisfactory (constantly revising, however) commonapp essay written on books and how they've helped me weather poverty yay
ECs: simple volunteer work, few clubs, vp of one, one academic comp, teaching health to those enmeshed in poverty, peer tutoring (should get job soon)

Good luck to everyone!

I've narrowed my list down a while ago and now I'm only going to apply to Brown and Dartmouth. I've already visited Dartmouth and loved it so much that I applied ED. I had my interview yesterday. I hope I get accepted!  | |

Great choices. I am sure you will be fine within ED since Dartmouth experienced a large decline this year. My DD also loved Dartmouth after visiting, but she applied RD as well as to Brown.

^I don't know how one can be sure about anything involving college admissions, particularly to highly selective institutions. (Note while Dartmouth's overall numbers were down, the number of diverse applicants increased.)
I'm sure kuromeido put his/her best foot forward though, which is really all one can control.

Should I bother applying to the Ivies?
GPA UW 3.7/W 4.4
SAT 2170 (800 W, 620 M, 750 CR)
Extracurriculars: piano 12+ years, lots of tutoring, volunteer work w/church, started a club (president), martial arts 6 years, NHS and SHS
Not sure if I really want to attend an Ivy League school but they are very prestigious. Right now I'm leaning towards a liberal arts school
