<p>could you post on your SAT1 subscore?</p>

3

<p>76o CR, 640 M, 710 W</p>

<p>It is an unfortunate sub score. Especially because I’m in AP Calculus and doing very well.</p>

4

<p>^ After my results I can tell you that some people are NOT good standardized test takers. And I am one of them.</p>

5

<p>yeah dude, no one in my school ever applies to dartmouth either. Apparently though according to my college counselor, that is a good thing since they have no one to compare you to (in a good way).</p>

6

<p>That may be true that the admissions office won’t be able to compare you to past applicants but colleges look for geographic diversity as well. Its harder for white_rabbit coming from California than say Wyoming or Kansas.</p>

7

<p>dartmouth does not look at location what so ever… that’s straight from the admission director’s mouth</p>

8

<p>It seems, like many of us, you’ll be in the mix. </p>

<p>Your SAT scores and grades alone will not be positively determinative. Much will hinge on your essays, how you represent your ECs (your passion/accomplishments in them) and your t-recs. If these are average or below, your chances diminsh.</p>

<p>I think the fact that no one from your HS has ever applied to D is to your favor.</p>
