Hi! I’m looking into Cornell University and Dartmouth College right now. I already have an idea of Cornell University and that I have good chance of getting in there with ED if my test scores are what they need to be. However, I’d like to know what my chances are for Dartmouth for ED. Can I get in with these stats? I’d like to do biological/biomed engineering for premed and yes I know Cornell’s stats for engineering. [I calculated unweighted GPAs using a base scale, A+ to A- is 4, B+ to B- is 3…]
