Hi Steve,

It looks like you have good grades and scores and have taken a few challenging classes. Unfortunately, I don’t see anything leaping off the screen that is especially unique or different. It looks like you really enjoy volunteering at the hospital – maybe you can expand and deepen your experience there this year so it becomes something really special. Also, make sure you work hard to get your GPA and scores up.

I encourage you to apply to Dartmouth but I fear the outcome may be disappointing with so many other highly-qualified applicants. Dartmouth is a wonderful school though and worth working hard for – so don’t give up yet! Good luck!
