Depends on your SAT score. While you can still get in with a 3.4 GPA if you rock the SAT, its gonna be HELLA' tough. Right now I would start looking for option "B" (Another school). You really need better than a 3.8 and outstanding SAT/ACT marks to get into Ivy League. I don't want to burst your bubble with these statements, but you have to face reality. I'm not saying you wont get in, I'm just saying that at this point its highly unlikely.

Check the Dartmouth website for requirements.
A 3.4GPA is low for admission to a school such as that, but you have mitigating circumstances that might get you past the GPA.
So - check the website, look through the requirements, look for any information regarding other factors considered for admission.
And finally, call the admissions office and see if you can talk to an advisor. Explain your situation, and ask them to give you an honest assessment of your chances.
Regardless, you should easily be able to get into college with no problem.
Good luck.

What else ya were given? That GPA wont harm you. yet a nasty SAT ought to, an excellent SAT ought to help. What about your ECs? you somewhat did not tell a lot. in spite of everything GPA and sophistication rank are in problem-free words about 2/5 of what they provide the impact of being at. For ECs to get into any ivy league you gotta be good at something. i'd recommend in case you nevertheless have time, connect some golf equipment, change right into a frontrunner in those golf equipment, and do okay, alongside with prevailing a state championship or something.

You have a chance as long as your SAT scores are high to (at least a 600 in each category.)
Good Luck!!!
