This is a good link for somebody interested in pre-med at Dartmouth (although it is from 2009):

honestly, you shouldn’t feel the need to stress. I mean, just look at what you posted! You should have a very, very good chance at getting in, and if you dont, it would be because of space for others like you.
You are a competitive applicant. Your stats and ECs are great. Write good essays and you could get accepted
6 SAT subject tests is overkill and you don’t want to give the impression of being a robot concerned more with scores. Try to make your essays reveal your true nature and why pre-med is meaningful.
Since you mention Asian as your ethnicity, break out of the test taking stereotype. Is there anything special/extraordinary about ourself that a Dartmouth adcom can see in you that warrants admittance?
Given the nature of college admissions, it’s best to cast a wide net and add safety schools.
Would varsity cheerleading help me stand out??? I have three years of it.
Cheerleading is unusual, especially for an Asian. But it doesn’t really stand out. Could you somehow connect it to your interest in pre-med? That might make for a rather unusual essay.
Try to expand beyond Dartmouth and JHU. You could consider Vanderbilt, Rice, or WashU as all 3 schools are known for Bioligical Sciences/pre-med.
