| hey, generic.. ur SATs are not in the mid range of dartmouth....so, u should try to do better in the december tests....but, i think ur ECs are good...so, ECs,recos and a good essay can shadow ur sat scores(after all SATs are not the only thing considered for admission).... Good luck for Dartmouth man | |

Well, i dunno so much.. i really tried hard to be honest and all.. esp in my essay.. i met a prof from dartmouth and frankly he was pretty impressed... but I really think my SATs are going to sink my ship... unless i do some magic in December... I'm gonna paste that score in my wall now... for inspiration | |
