augustagurrl, With 90% accuracy I can say that you will get into Dartmouth. It's a numbers game and your stats are very respectable. BTW, where else are you applying? I would say that you have a good shot at all of the Ivies.

Chance me back?

Just a glance(I'm too lazy to type all that you did)

Senior year:
Calc BC

I have solid A's with 1 blemish(AP Bio=2 semester of B+s)

indoor track (1 yr Varisty)

Boy Scouts(Eagle Scout, many leadership pos.), lots of community service, Academic Competition Team (capt.), Mock Trial, Pro-life club(VP), and a few other activities that have less involvement than these mentioned.

I am also the founder of my school's Ping Pong Club which is in the process of getting started

What's your opinion from what I've given you?

augustagurrl

i say you have a solid shot from what i see
interesting ECs - especially the ping pong club
the only thing is the SAT II bio.
you only have to send 2 to dartmouth, so i would send your two highest.

your stats look awesome. good luck !!!

im applying to 14 schools across the board. 5 ivies, MIT, caltech, JHU, Emory, Duke, Vandy, 2 safeties (rollins college and accepted to co school of mines) and stanford.

chrissmith332

Thanks for chancing me. Good luck with your schools!

I think you look really really good. The only thing is that you have more 4s than 5s on APs but I really don't think that matters too much. You show a lot of incentive by making your own schedule really difficult. I think you have great chances!

teamfrangela92

Really good chance like I'd say 50% chance of getting in. I'm applying too. Best of luck to us both =D

Magnanima

Augusta, I think you're in! (I don't know much about college admissions, considering that I'm not even in college yet, but you're a sound applicant!)

I'm required to take theology, too!

augustagurrl

thank you- i'm sure hoping dartmouth accepts me!!

saints2009

you look like you're in good shape for getting admitted. Thanks for responding to my post.

augustagurrl

thank you!!

SamirBabai

I believe you'll get in your stats are very good.
A few more APs would have been nicer though.

augustagurrl

thanks
well the only other APs at my school that i haven't taken are AP Bio (didn't fit into my schedule), AP Chem (which i couldn't take as chem is a prereq and i just finished that class) and two AP languages, whereas I took french so that wouldn't have worked.
i hope they see that and consider that i took the hardest stuff my school offered...

thegeezer44

i think you're in too. but you can really never know with the ivies.

hmom5

I'd give agusta a solid chance because she's from Nebraska. From NY, NJ,CA, MA, ect. she'd have a much harder times.

Folks are chancing here without enough info.

The student with the 1440? Maybe if he's low income, first gen, from an underrepresented state or has another tip factor.

augustagurrl

im not from nebraska...
just curious- why does everyone think im from NE?

oohh because of the french thing.
no that was just through them im not sure how but they were able to do it.
they sent me the books and i submitted my 10 (brutal) tests online

im actually from FL
