Yes, you wrote to me before

"Your grades and rigor and ECs look good, but as you already know your scores are almost all subpar for D, including most of your AP exams. This indicates that your preparation hasn’t been strong. (I really question how a “National Hispanic Scholar” could get a 580 on the Spanish SAT II!)

What was your SAT breakdown? Did you break 700 in anything?

Certainly, a good ACT would help. You need to convince them that you would not be overwhelmed at D, since that would probably be their only concern about you."

Does the new ACT score (32) help at all? My SAT score when you wrote that was 1980. Also, I will be taking the Lit SAT II in Oct (hoping for above a 700). And from what I’ve heard, Dartmouth takes the top two SAT II scores into account, right?
