I’ve been eyeing Dartmouth for years now, and chance are I’ll apply ED next fall (im a junior now). I’d really appreciate some opinions here. A lot of this is hypothetical, but it’s how i see the things to come.

Caucasian male
Weighted GPA: 4.44
Rank: My guess is somewhere around 2 or 3 out of 350
SAT I: Shooting for 2330+
SAT II: Bio 790, World Hist. 800, Math IIC 800
ACT: 34 (trying to get to a 35 or 36)
AP Macro & Micro, 5 on both
I will be taking APs in Am. Hist., Spanish, Psych (Independent study), Bio, Statistics, Calc BC, Euro. Hist., English Lit. - I’m hoping for all 5’s, if not a couple 4’s

Here’s the iffy part: EC’s

9,10,11,12: Varsity Swimming (captain next year)
10,11,12: Girls Varsity Swimming Manager
9: President Students Against Violence
11,12: Young republicans
11,12: President NHS
11,12: Chairman Student Curriculum Committee
11,12: Tutoring
Summers: Lifeguarding at community pool & lake
11,12: Volunteer at hospital (i figure 250 hours by the time i apply)
9,10,11,12: Active member of church youth group
10: Selected to attend National Youth Leadership Conference in D.C.
10: Educational tour of Italy for 2 weeks (is that an EC? lol)
10,11,12: Teaching swimming lessons, 3 hours every saturday

Awards: I can’t think of any!

So I’m sure u can see my highs and lows. What do you think my chances are for ED? What can I do in the next year to make my chances better?

Thanks!
