Looks good. Have you done any sports though? I don't know how this affects admissions decisions but Dartmouth students strike me as very athletic and outdoorsy (as well as the preliminary smart, outgoing, etc etc). This looks more like a resume for Harvard or Yale. What about Dartmouth attracted you?
