Hey guys!
I’m sure that some of you know that I am seriously considering applying ED to Dartmouth. I feel I have decent stats (2320 SAT, 11 AP’s, 4.0 UW GPA, #1 rank…), extracurriculars, volunteer service, research, potential recommedations, etc. The one thing I am lacking in, however are good SAT Subject Test scores. I did not do well at all on the ones I took (don’t even have to ask), so I am studying hard for 3 I will take in October. My AP scores, however, are strong. I have taken 11 AP’s by my junior year, eight of them being 5’s, and three 4’s.In the case that I don’t do too well on the SAT Subject Tests, do you guys feel that someone’s chances can be dashed by one poor aspect of the application such as these tests? Or can good AP scores at least salvage these chances?
Any information will be greatly appreciated!
