hello dartmouth forum!
it’d be just lovely if you’d chance me.
female
english major? chem major? both?
gpa: 3.7 unweighted, 3.8 weighted, junior year = first C ever
sat: 2340 (800 CR, 770 W, 770 M)
sat ii: bio-780, lit-740
aps: chem-4, bio-5, lang-5, world-4, took phys b, but didn’t take the test.
ec’s/honors/intrests: i write to live. newspaper ed-in-chief 08-09, crappy local writing awards, a notebook full of ink and dreams. nhs, model un, smiling, drinking coffee, reading great literature, GENERIC PROZAC, writing crap stories, theatre, volunteering, running with my dad around dc and living my life.
essays: hopefully okay, if i can get my yacht sized personality to squeeze into a common app text box.
strengths: i’m awesome, passionate about my writing, i have good standardized scores because i’m a test-taking robot, i’m smiley and a good talker, i’m black (actually kind of a detriment in, oh, real life.)
weaknesses: i don’t take high school seriously because i’m too busy championing the underdogs and trying to glean good writing skills from the new yorker. i have a problem with sarcasm.

background: i love dartmouth, like 99% of you guys! and i went to dartmouth bound this summer, and although it wasn’t very fun, I later realized that I only had a bad time because of the people in the program, and that everything about Dartmouth itself was really awesome. i think that I am nearly ready to commit to ED. i’ve switched favorite schools like four times (Brown-Williams-Yale-Dartmouth), but I think Dartmouth is my eureka!!! Perfect size, awesome facilities, obviously great profs, beautiful location, green and secluded, D-PLAN!!!, happy student body, parties, work hard play hard attitude…I could go on and on! But will I even stand a chance?
