Your SAT is very far to the left of Dartmouth's traditional admit range. Are you playing your sport at a recruitable level? Otherwise, I'd say your chances are less than the 9.8% average.

I am at the recruitable level but I do not intend on playing a sport in college

T26E4

You have some great accomplishments and should do well in college. I think your app in an admissions pool such as Dartmouth might not capture any attn, however.
