I think things look good; the upward trend since freshman year definitely makes your 3.3 look better. Of course, you have perfect test scores and great EC’s. The only problem with applying ED is that Dartmouth won’t be able to see your senior grades. Having a 4.0 or close senior year would really help you by strengthening your upward trend in grades.

By all means, apply ED if Dartmouth is your first choice, but if you are deferred, don’t lose hope. Dartmouth might want to see your first semester grades, which will help you in the regular decision round if they are A’s.

Overall, I think you have good chances. Good luck!
