<p>What would happen?</p>
<p>Does Dartmouth have a tendency of picking quirky students over better rounded students in the ED round? By quirky I don’t mean legacies or athletes… more in the diversity perspective (I am not a U.S. URM though)</p>
<p>On that note… I have a question of my chances as a quasi-quirky student.</p>
<p>Objective stats:
-SAT I: 680CR 730M 670W
-SAT II: Spanish 800, Korean 800, Math II 770, US History 720, Literature 700
-APs: USH (4), Spanish (5), Calculus AB (5), Psychology (5).
-Senior Courseload: AP US Gov, AP Stats, AP Econ, AP English Literature, AP --Calc BC, Sociology
-Class Rank: N/A (school doesn’t rank, but I’m in top 5%)
-GPA: 94% (from 9-11th). 104% (12th grade so far). (Both weighted grades)</p>
<p>Subjective stats:
-Nationality: Korea
-Race: Asian
-Trilingual (Korean, Spanish, English) and basic skills in Japanese, Chinese, and Italian.
-Lived in 6 countries, an average of 2.5 yrs per country (Korea, Chile, Nicaragua, Spain, Guatemala, and currently in Venezuela)
-Moved to Venezuela 10th grade</p>
<p>ExtraCurriculars (no leadership positions; my weak point):
-Varsity Soccer (9,10,11,12)
-Varsity Table Tennis (only 9th grade)
-JV Tennis (11,12)
-Entrepreneurial Club (11,12)</p>
<p>**Self-assessment: I have solid SAT II scores w/ good variety but mediocre SAT I. I have below par ECs but I have other strenghts (multi-lingual, lived in multiple countries). I am taking the hardest courseload at school, and currently have a decent class rank (top 5%)</p>
<p>PS: I posted this same post on the Yale forum</p>
