Sorry this happened.

I don’t think that “one and done” matters at all for schools that allow superscore. All 5s don’t matter that much either at schools that are more holistic in review.

It’s the exceptional ECs, essays, and recommendation letters that can actually help an applicant’s chances. It’s tough to stand out academically when so many applicants have similar stats. Differentiating yourself is really important at these highly rejective schools.

Turned down Dartmouth opted for a better school. One has to like really long long winters with not much spring. Colgate and Holy Cross would be good safeties for Dartmouth. If can’t get into Dartmouth won’t get into Williams.

No overlap between holy cross and Dartmouth admits. I wouldn’t recommend some catholic school over another more representative liberal arts college.
