What is the chance to get into UChicago, Cornell and Dartmouth? what is the best fit ED school? [MA resident, 3.72 GPA, 1540 SAT, bioengineering]

I just checked Dartmouth website, here are the terms regarding taking college level coursework:

  • Students who have not matriculated at a college are eligible for first-year admission.

  • Students who have taken college coursework that is counting towards their high school graduation must apply for first-year admission. This includes students pursuing an associate’s degree while finishing high school.

  • Students who have completed high school and have matriculated at a college, even if they have attended for one term or less, must apply for transfer admission.

My son’s case: ASU Universal Learner Courses do not require admission and do not confer degree-seeking status, do not enroll ASU, so he has not matriculated.
So, he fits squarely in this first category — eligible for first-year admission.
