What are my chances?

Ok. Dartmouth is at the top of my list. Peer review is written by someone Ive known for 15 yrs, and should be good. Chances??

SAT I: 700 cr, 670 math, 640 writing

SAT II: Lit-680, Math IIc-620, American History-760

AP: 5 on AP gov’t, 4 on us history

Grades: Always took hardest classes
All As Freshman year
mostly B+/A- sophomore year,
Junior year 2-3 A-s, 2-3 B+s and B-/Cs in precal and ap English

Essay: Wrote about stuff I started and passion for politics. Good not great

Parents: MIT

School: urban public high school

Freshman-Student Council, Regional Science Fair participant, History Day competitor

Sophomore-Started JSA (political club), Kerry Campaign (volunteer), Academic Decathlon, Student Council, Regional Science Fair participant

Junior-JSA (president), Kerry Campaign (intern), Academic Decathlon, Student Council, student advisory council to the state department of ed, regional science fair, state senate campaign, founder of students against Romney (Boston Globe printed an article on us that I am sending w my application)

Senior-JSA (president), School committee campaign (field director) Academic Decathlon, Student Council (co-president), chairman of legislative workgroup of the student advisory council to the state department of ed

Recommendations: one good more personal teacher rec, one nice but more boring teacher rec, one additional rec from a state senator who included a lot of details.

Other: JSA summer school at Yale summer between freshman and sophomore year, NHS, one of 10 state finalists for senate youth program

I really try to stay away from chances so I am just attaching the link to Dartmouth's latest common data set which will show you the profile of the enrolled class of 2009
