I’m a rising Senior in a fairly competitive public Massachusetts High School (last year, 3 kids went to Cornell, 2 to MIT, 1 to UPenn, 1 to Swarthmore, etc). Right now, my number one choice is, by far, Dartmouth College. Can you please chance me twice? The first chance will be for my current stats, my second chance for the stats I plan on working my butt off to have by the time I apply (the > indicates what I hope to have). Thanks in advance.

White male, unhooked from MA.

SAT I: 2140 SAT (800 M, 680 CR, 660 W) > 2200 SAT (800 M, 700 CR, 700 W)
SAT II: 780 US History, 800 Math II

3.81 GPA > 3.9 GPA
Class Rank (estimate): 12/324
All Honors and 6 APs for my course load (all 5’s on the tests so far)

Recs: My teachers seem to like me and know my strong points… hopefully their persuasive
Essays: I realize their importance, and they should be on par with the rest of my application.

Extra Curriculars:
-Varsity Cross Country (captain)
-Varsity (competitive) Ski Team (captain)
-Varsity Track and Field (captain)
-National Honor Society (Junior and Senior year)

Volunteer:
-300+ hours on “Mississippi Mission Trips” (cleaning up the Katrina aftermath)
-300+ hours working at a camp for people of all ages with mental/physical disabilities
-100+ hours as a Eucharistic Minister in my local church
-Another ~50 hours of service through a church camp

Awards:
-Fairfield University Book Award
-High Honor Roll every term
-CompTIA A+ Industry Certification

So I hope that covers most of the basics… please chance me ED for the stats I currently have, and the ones I hope to have (in italics if the formatting worked).
Thanks,
