*Yale SCEA Chance (Will Chance Back)*

hope you enjoy Dartmouth (too conservative and frat boyish for my tastes, but nevertheless a fabulous school)

Dartmouth ED- most likely in
Stanford- reach because of ECs
Cornell- most likely in
Duke- most likely in
UC Berkeley- most likely in
UC Davis- 100% in
UCSB- 100% in
MIT- reach because of few great math/science ECs
UIUC- 100% in
UChicago- most likely in
Ann Arbor- 100% in
Harvard- reach because of ECs
Princeton- reach (ECs)
Harvey Mudd- most likely in
Caltech- reach because of few great math/science related ECs, and lack of affirmative action too

Even if you don't get in Dartmouth, you'll be sure to get in AT LEAST one of those schools, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about!!! I doubt you'll end up at UCSB or UCD hahah (even though they're still great great schools)

"Hi, I'm a Black male from California. I have good test scores, decent grades and activities but not outstanding. (Income level = middle class)

SAT scores: 2220 (first take; 760 math 760 reading 700 writing),
2400!"

I read to that point and you've already said everything you needed to say. You're in.

I would say all the schools will take you, even H.P.Y, if other parts of the application are impressive. As a black male, how many, I am serious, in the history, have had your stats? You have 90% of chance. Very impressive! 2400! No doubt!

I don't see any reason they would reject you. Full SAT score, great GPA & ECs. URM. You have all. You are in.

Dude, you have very high chances of getting into all of those schools, and at affirmative action schools you're 100% in.

I honestly wouldn't have applied to Dartmouth ED if I were you, because you are virtually guaranteed admission. I don't really know your GPA, but with a high GPA and 2400, those two alone set the bar high. Combine the HUGE affirmative action benefits, and I could see you getting into Harvard without much struggle.

A Latino on here had a 2000 ish SAT score (and nothing else fantastic) and got in to ALL of the top colleges he applied to (MIT, Harvard, etc.). Have fun at Dartmouth.

The 2400 and ethnicity alone will get you into most of the schools.

Black, 2400, 3.89? Have fun in Hanover! I agree with what everyone else said, as I wouldn't have applied ED if I were you since you could've easily gotten in during the RD round (and had competing offers from all or almost all of your other schools), but I guess if you really did want to go to Dartmouth and wanted to relax a few months earlier, you made the right choice. Still not something I would do, but congrats!

your sat ii in apush more than reflects your skill in that class. I think you should set your goals higher, I'm sure if you applied harvard would accept you

seriously, though... make sure you want to go to dartmouth, because if you go there and realize that you could have gone somewhere better... maybe you shouldn't ed, you know? I think you have a great shot without ed'ing, so it might be better to see all your results and then weigh them once you get all your acceptance letters
