Dartmouth College (2022-2023)

[zinc summit]

take it with a grain of salt, this argument broke out in #1053130487079653456 about this and it essentially boils down to the fact that you just dont have your docs in place

g'luck

[kind turret]

word

I got the Cornell email to

ima just wait til Ivy day and see

I’ll just have high hopes like the other person said

[edgy violet]

overseas public schools tend to be better than privates

i'm sure, but people have also presumably gotten the email and not gotten in, and not gotten the email and gotten in

[spare bane]

Good evening Dartmouth ❤️

[astral jewel]

Do some Intls have more than one item on their FinAid checklist?

Mine only has one item (CSS Profile), even though most other unis have a bunch of things

[late thicket]

I haven’t checked in a while, but yea it was only css earlier

[sullen hatch]

I got this email along with a specific email from one of the financial aid officers during the ED cycle this year and I got in

Not really sure if it means anything though

I did have all my documents submitted so I wasnt necessarily missing anything they just wanted extra information

[craggy ember]

Good to know I’ve already been rejected :)

[hardy atlas]

dartmouth pls 🙏

[rough glacier]

Dartmouth please 😭

[stark holly]

wait

i dont have the verification thing but i have a lot of things in the portal

i first got an automatic email then a FA officer reached out personally so i hope its a good sign

[edgy violet]

ignore the portal astrology

[kind turret]

word

sounds good

[viral totem]

from the limited data ive seen ppl w the email generally get at least waitlisted and most are accepted, but dont expect too much

[stark holly]

also

when does dartmouth release liklies i havent heard ab any

[kind turret]

yh im taking it w a grain of salt as the people said above me

just hoping I get in ofc

would be a blessing

[edgy violet]

right, but we don't hear a lot from people who got rejected

[edgy violet]

pretend likelies don't exist

[silent hound]

already came out

like a week ago

[cedar fern]

umm my teacher just showed me the letter of rec she wrote for me and i think she made a mistake, like she said "challenge consumptions" but I think it should be "challenge assumptions" havent told her yet but am I screwed

cuz obviously I'm super grateful and also moved by what she said about me but does it come off as she doesnt care enough about me to proofread 🫠

[edgy violet]

nah, that won't hurt you

you didn't write it

it's annoying because it is such a basic mistake

[cedar fern]

I see thank you

it probably won't be a red flag right like she's one of my closest teachers yet she doesn't care that much ig?

[wooden falcon]

You’re trippin

[gleaming pumice]

Does anybody know when are they going to release the decisions?

[golden knoll]

probbaly march 30 7pm

Ivy day

[gleaming pumice]

Ohh thanks

[golden knoll]

no prob

[vital osprey]

How are you planning to submit this?

[rapid sierra]

Serious question but how does the fin aid office do hypothetical fin aid to thousands of students knowinh that it's going to be useless for 90%

[golden knoll]

wym submitting what

[golden knoll]

they don’t which is why people say that email is a good sign of admission

[rapid sierra]

I still think it's a bit of astrology and copium

[golden knoll]

def

[edgy violet]

very much

[golden knoll]

also the sample is pretty biased

[edgy violet]

very

[golden knoll]

seems to be a correlation but u really can’t say it it’s statistically significant or not

[vital osprey]

submitting the tax returns?

cuz like they want it secure using winzip

[golden knoll]

Oh you put them in IDOC

[vital osprey]

i have them on idoc

[golden knoll]

only if u are submitting via email do u put them in zip

[vital osprey]

but i dont have an idoc request

[rapid sierra]

Would love to see a survey of people

[golden knoll]

U shouldn’t need a request I don’t think

As long as u submitted to Dartmouth as one of ur colleges

For the CSS

[vital osprey]

i did

[golden knoll]

should be ight

Check the Dartmouth portal

The fin aid section

[vital osprey]

but i think they should request the idoc right?

[vital osprey]

ill check it tommorow morning then, to see if it's updated

[golden knoll]

Not necessarily IDOC confuses me

[rapid sierra]

For example a lot of people who got liklies for ivies said they never got requested fin aid shit but could also be that people who get liklies just have all their shit complete and don't need the fin aid office to pester them

[golden knoll]

well

For Dartmouth

[vital osprey]

i didn't get what you meant

[golden knoll]

Everyone that I’ve asked about the email or seen

has said they’ve gotten the email

those who’ve gotten in

not too sure about it though atp

gonna see march 30th either way

[rapid sierra]

It's too long... Can't wait

[golden knoll]

Lmaoo

Spring break gonna quicken the process

[vital osprey]

i don't have an IDOC request, should I email the financial aid office

[golden knoll]

Check the portal beforehand

see if ur docsuments are there

[vital osprey]

it has a cross on the checklist

[golden knoll]

then maybe email them

Or call

Calling might be better

[vital osprey]

yeah I'll do that, thanks man

[vital osprey]

I am intl man, it's tough to get a hold of them

[golden knoll]

Ahh understandable

Emails are very slow usually

[vital osprey]

yeah i'll try calling

did you get this email?

[golden knoll]

Which

the one from the message above ?

[vital osprey]

yeah, the finaid one

[golden knoll]

Yessir

indeed I did

[vital osprey]

how did you submit it then?

did you have a req on IDOC?

[golden knoll]

Idk idoc confuses me

But yes I submitted my stuff on IDOC

Not too sure about the request though

[vital osprey]

yeah okay thanks man

[golden knoll]

No problem

sorry couldn’t be of more help

If you ask in #💵-financial-aid you will probably get a better response

[vital osprey]

I just found the Dartmouth Website which says what to do

thanks man

[golden knoll]

No problem

[gleaming pumice]

Hey guys, I got a question I heard from some of my friends that pretty much all accepted students get interviewed before they get excepted is that true?

[vast ravine]

jesus that email

[edgy violet]

i mean maybe, because they try to interview as many people as possible

[zinc summit]

fr

[astral jewel]

Emailllllllllllllllll

[gleaming pumice]

Damn it so I’m most likely not accepted

[edgy violet]

where did you get that from what I said?

I'm saying the vast majority of people get interviewed, such that if you take a small sample from among them, the odds are most of those people will have been interviewed

[placid shell]

that email...

[gleaming pumice]

Ohh yea yea I gotcha sorry

[proven schooner]

when did they send this email

[astral jewel]

Received at 4:01pm eastern

[proven schooner]

why didn't I receive it 😭

they hate me fr

[astral jewel]

nah best for last

[proven schooner]

lemme check my spam

oh yes went to promo

[calm wraith]

Same

[golden knoll]

jus got this too

It went to my promotions as well

For some reason

[edgy violet]

it is a mass email

[bitter totem]

not me thinking darty decisions came out early

[edgy violet]

It is called Ivy Day for a reason

[tulip plover]

It’s an unlikely

[bitter totem]

Let me be delulu

[golden knoll]

Y’all think Dartmouth already did their decisions

I sent them an update email and my regional AO responded already saying it was added to my app

[edgy violet]

most are probbly done, but still working on the last bit I bet

with 2 weeks to go

[calm wraith]

They had over 2 months to type a rejection for me 😣

[silent hound]

are/were you affiliated with Dartmouth

or are you just a fan

[edgy violet]

I went to Dartmouth, interviewed for Dartmouth for a decade, and worked there from 2016-2018

I'm no longer able to interview with my job sadly

[silent hound]

I see

[edgy violet]

any reason why you ask?

[golden knoll]

ahh how was your experience hoping to get in there

[edgy violet]

i applied early and got in

pretty straightforward

i was a really strong applicant

legacy

[gleaming pumice]

Yo RD applicants! Has anyone been reviewed?

Interviewed*

Also who got sent an email asking for financial aid documents?

[raven wave]

i was interviewed but no email about financial aid

[gleaming pumice]

When did u get interviewed?

[golden knoll]

Was both interviewed and requested for documents

[gleaming pumice]

When?

[golden knoll]

Interview was early on

Like February

maybe even end of January

they requested FA docs march 9

[gleaming pumice]

Ight well then congrats in advance

[placid shell]

no int & no FA request

[olive hill]

Same 😭

[rapid sierra]

im surprised more people arent talking about this

i would expect schizo A2Cers to be talking about how Fin aid request means you got in but i only found a single college confidential post from 2011 about it

[olive hill]

They are talking about it on reddit

In the international students reddit and the megathread

[rapid sierra]

lol

oh god here it is

brain worms

[raven wave]

I was interviewed on February 12

[gleaming pumice]

Ight I wish you the best

[silent hound]

your name

[golden knoll]

wdym

[gleaming pumice]

I’m just saying that there is a huge chance that you got accepted so congrats in advance

[golden knoll]

aye well thank you but I’m not gonna get my hopes that high so

we shall see on Ivy day

[gleaming pumice]

Yea das right

Well I hope the best for u

[placid shell]

i feel like that's random bc cornell sent me that same fin aid email & my app was horrible

[edgy violet]

I wouldn't read into it. Sure you hear about people getting the email and getting in, but you don't really hear anything from people who don't get in, many of whom probably got the email

[maiden breach]

Especially since dartmouth is need blind, I doubt the fin aid email has anything to do with admissions

[celest zealot]

Let’s run a poll

🐶: No finaid email
📎: Generic financial aid application incomplete email
📌: Personalized email asking for specific information
🔮: Both emails (📎 and 📌)

[zinc summit]

I chose E) get a grip

[celest zealot]

Based

[bitter totem]

i got an interview

that’s it tho

and mine was in person it was odd

[edgy violet]

What was odd about it?

[bitter totem]

they had like all of the ppl interviewing sit at a big conference table and we all waited our turns and ppl were too anxjuouz to speak to each other

and it was in a real estate office building

anxious **

but other than that the interview itself went well

[vivid mountain]

since when do they do group interviews what

[edgy violet]

ah yeah, some areas do large interview events like that

[edgy violet]

they are still solo interviews, just at a set location

[craggy ember]

Thank god I didn’t have a group interview

I just talked with another guy about horseback riding and had Thai tea lol

[golden knoll]

Yeah my guy was virtual

so we just chatted

[edgy violet]

There are no group interviews lol

[neat escarp]

good luck medo

praying for you to get in

[left falcon]

My interviewer went to my school just a few years ago so mine was chill af

[edgy violet]

oh that's nice

[golden knoll]

Same here

He was younger

cool guy super nice told me to reach out if I were to be accepted

[left falcon]

Yea he was just shitting on all the teachers he didn’t like. It was wild

[golden knoll]

LMFAO

nah my guy didn’t do allat

He was just advocating for Dartmouth and his experience

We talked a lot about studying abroad

[fluid matrix]

I need Dartmouth so bad

[gleaming pumice]

Thanks man appreciate it

[vivid mountain]

dartmouth should accept me

like rn

[dapper drift]

How do I contact regional AO?

[vivid mountain]

look up their contact info online

[golden knoll]

received a second FA email

same to the first

[gleaming pumice]

What does it look like?

[golden knoll]

same as the other one I sent above

A few days back

[gleaming pumice]

I didn’t see it would you mind sending it again?

[golden knoll]

.

[gleaming pumice]

Thanks

[mighty mauve]

Dartmouth keeps changing my financial aid checklist but I haven't send them anything except the ISFAA in early January

Why lol

[naive bane]

What change

[mighty mauve]

First it was just first year financial aid application received
Then CSS waived + FY received
Then FY international app received was added
Then the first one was removed
Now I have something called communication received? Idk what that is
Plus the international FY and CSS waived

Probably they just started reviewing my app so I might have to send them additional info later

Or I'm already rejected idk

"Communication received from Family" means they received my email and the ISFAA form right?

[slim slate]

Am I the only international who just has the css profile on the financial aid checklist?

[mighty mauve]

Well I didn't send the CSS profile

I sent the ISFAA instead

[slim slate]

Oh I see. Did you send parents tax returns or employer wage statements?

[mighty mauve]

No just the isfaa form. They haven't asked for it yet idk if I should've sent it myself or not

[slim slate]

Same I just sent the css.

[lyric galleon]

Lol@thats all i had and it hasnt changed 😶

[golden knoll]

anyone here a domestic applicant

[mighty mauve]

Ok but what does "communication received from family" means

[golden knoll]

Mine is asking for Income Verification and Parents schedule 1

[mighty mauve]

This is confusing they didn't contact my family

What did they receive

[fiery void]

Same thing happened with me but with brown.. I mailed them about it the this was their response.. Basically they say to submit docs after decision although it will result in delayed aid

[mighty mauve]

Wdym

[fiery void]

Hmm

[mighty mauve]

Brown accepts the ISFAA from applicants from my country. It's on their website.

[fiery void]

They don't

[mighty mauve]

So I didn't have a problem with them

[fiery void]

Oh

Idk about your country

They don't from mine

[mighty mauve]

Yeah they do it's different for my country

[fiery void]

Oo

[fiery void]

Just curious which country you from?

[mighty mauve]

Iran. I think they only accept the ISFAA from Iran and North Korea

[fiery void]

Oo

[mighty mauve]

Anyway

Anyone else has the "Communication Received From Family" on their checklist?

[cedar fern]

nah international here too i only have these

[mighty mauve]

What kind of materials did you send? Just the ISFAA?

[gleaming pumice]

I don’t have this like you

[mighty mauve]

Who did they communicate with 💀

[mighty mauve]

What did u send them

[gleaming pumice]

Only the ISFAA

[cedar fern]

I sent isfaa and supporting documents too like parents income and parent tax

cuz I sent them by emails so I was like might as well send them all in

[golden knoll]

As domestic I have like

Hella things so I can’t really help

[cedar fern]

ig this means they sent you a reminder emails to turn in supporting docs?

[mighty mauve]

They didn't though.

[cedar fern]

sorry i dont have the best advice for this but if it were me i would send them an email asking? im not sure though it could come off as impatient

maybe someone here have better insight?

[grave knot]

most decisions might be almost finalized by now, if not all
idt they would deny/admit/wl based on frequency of emails right now, so why not

[cedar fern]

yeee i would second sending email if this is the case. the last time I sent an update in late feb and super paranoid whether they received it or not and ended up emailed to ask

they answered in like a day

[grave knot]

they're def quick with answering

[golden knoll]

Emailed Dartmouth 2 days ago

My regional AO responded in under a day and sent a nice message

They should be chill

[mighty mauve]

If anyone else has this please lmk

[mighty mauve]

Alright thank u all I'll send an email today

[olive hill]

I have it like that too

[olive hill]

I sent tax returns

[mighty mauve]

Oh well I didn't send tax returns or wage statements. Did they ask you to send it or did u send them urself

[mighty mauve]

Do u know what does the communication part mean?

[olive hill]

I sent them with my ISFAA

[olive hill]

No 😭

[dapper drift]

Do AOs reply on weekends?

[carmine flower]

Anyone else here not do the peer rec?

[silent fjord]

I

[mighty mauve]

🤚

[calm wraith]

Me 😂

I dreamt that I got rejected

[cloud ledge]

i did not <//3

[rapid sierra]

I forgor

💀

[edgy violet]

genrally not

[cedar fern]

hey did any intl here submitting the isfaa got the fin aid email?

[gleaming pumice]

I didn’t

[cedar fern]

yee same

[golden knoll]

even tho i got the fin aid email 2x

i wouldnt trip about not getting it

since we rlly dont have 100% evidence that it means anything

all we have is some data from past years in which people said they got accepted after getting the email, but we never heard anything about if people got rejected cause im sure they dont go around on forums saying that

[cedar fern]

oooh nice yeaa i heard about it being a good sign

ik people say correlation not causation but the portal things have been generally correct for all my decisions so far so 😭

wait if you dont mind me asking what do you have in your fin aid portal?

[mighty mauve]

Did you send your tax returns/ wage statements as well?

Or just the ISFAA

[cedar fern]

i sent all the things you mentioned

[mighty mauve]

OMG AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN'T

Anyway

[mighty mauve]

Do you have this communication thing

[golden knoll]

Im a domestic applicant

[cedar fern]

im sure they would ask for it later don't sweat 😀

[golden knoll]

but I am missing stuff in my fin aid portal so thats why i originally didnt think the email meant anything

yet reddit has a different idea of what it means

[cedar fern]

nah i don't

[cedar fern]

hahaha i would guess they are asking for your docs cuz they need it?

like if we have a venn diagram 💀

2 circles people with missing docs and people being considered

[edgy violet]

reddit is idiots

[cedar fern]

the overlapped would be people who received emails? lol

its silly anw

[mighty mauve]

No I'm just genuinely confused what if they've mistaken someone else's docs for mine and that's why I have the communication thing

[golden knoll]

yup0 probbly

im gonna call on monday and ask about two of the forms

since im not entirely sure what they want

[mighty mauve]

Yeah I'll email/call after the weekend too

[golden knoll]

yup at the end of teh day i need all the forms to be in there

in the case that I were to be accepted fin aid plays a big role in my decision of where to attend

so getting a super late package would be sucky

[cedar fern]

ahh i see

[cedar fern]

darty gives out really generous packages though i think they'll make sure your need is met

[golden knoll]

sure but dont they need all of the docs to make a package

[cedar fern]

oh yea i mean you don't have to worry about sending them late? and with that logic i think the email is a good sign yea

[golden knoll]

ye im calling tmr to try and get all the docs in before decisions

but yea thats reddit's logic

if you get the email that means theyre trying to make a financial aid package for you

and they wouldnt make an aid package for every students only those who will potentially attend

but its a bunch of astrology so i wouldnt care too much ab getting it or not getting it

[bitter totem]

I hope I get into dartmouth so I can become a zen nature girly that hikes and meditates and thinks happy thoughts

[golden knoll]

lmao

what would you be if u got into columbia then

[bitter totem]

The same as I am rn

[golden knoll]

what are u rn

[bitter totem]

Insane

And the coolest

🙏🏼

[golden knoll]

damn

based

teach me

[mighty mauve]

Wdym you'd be kind and clever

[bitter totem]

I’m all of those things

[bitter totem]

U are cool 😎

[golden knoll]

say fr

[bitter totem]

Fr

[edgy violet]

tbf you can do that at a lot of schools

[mighty mauve]

I wanted a Dartmouth interview =(

I'm gonna become an interviewer so I can have one🦾🦾🦾

[golden knoll]

ong u just made me cool

[edgy violet]

I loved interviewing. I miss it a lot

[placid shell]

so true

[placid shell]

i hope i can get in so i can go skiing

[formal lake]

I wanna be apart of the outing club tbh.

[edgy violet]

DOC is great

[formal lake]

My heart will break when I see my rejection fr. Would love to go to school in the middle of no where

[charred dew]

MAN i didnt turn in shit for finaid but no email

https://tenor.com/view/emoji-disintergrating-meme-emoji-disintegrating-meme-gif-21239978

[formal lake]

How accurate this is the portal astrology with financial aid

[golden knoll]

hard to say but i wouldnt place bets on it

[formal lake]

Yea I’m not setting myself up to be crushed by darty

[edgy violet]

Best to ignore it

[bitter totem]

I just need one fr

[formal lake]

Does anybody now how darty grades interviews tho or the interviewer? I heard some other schools have like a rating system

[bitter totem]

@edgy violet probably knows

[edgy violet]

There are four or five areas you qualitatively evaluate them

then at the end you pick a recommendation from like... Do not recommend to... highly desireable?

or sometihng

[bitter totem]

Does the interview matter a lot

Like if it went well would it help

[edgy violet]

it helps

not tons

but anything in your favor is good

[formal lake]

Alright my interviewer was super sweet and I think it went well so heres hoping that goes right!

[edgy violet]

yeah, i mean most people get one of the midle 3

I've given top twice (neither got in) and bottom once

[formal lake]

Ig interviews rarely change one’s admission decision but I think it was still a great experience having never interviewed before

[edgy violet]

yeah

i really left most of mine for them to ask questions

[formal lake]

How long do yours last for? Do you frown upon shorter interviews?

[edgy violet]

30-45 is my aim

they've been as quick as 15 (The one I gave bottom rating to) up to 75 min maybe

[formal lake]

Damn my short Yale interview means I’m finished then….at least Darty was better

[edgy violet]

not really

[mighty mauve]

Was it a senior interview?

[formal lake]

Nah I wish

[mighty mauve]

NO U DON'T

My senior interview was so weird

[formal lake]

It was over the phone and I was super nervous. Barely got through it. It was about 30 min but half of that was me asking questions

[mighty mauve]

It wasn't short though it took 45 minutes iirc

[formal lake]

What happened??

[mighty mauve]

She was just so uninterested in everything and she was way more nervous than me

Also it was around 3 am my time which isn't good no matter how much sleep u try to get beforehand lol

[astral jewel]

haha i had my rice interview at 3am

my interviewer was surprised I stayed up

better have counted it as demonstrated interest lmao

[mighty mauve]

Yeah the fact that it was this late for me was the only thing that peaked her interest lmao

[formal lake]

Mine was so early(for me) which probably added to my anxiety

[astral jewel]

Don't worry about it I hope you get in!!!

Yale deferred me w/out an interivew :ooo

still haven't gotten one so let's see

[mighty mauve]

Senior interviewers aren't volunteers they're doing it as a job
Graduates are better interviewers imo

[formal lake]

Best of luck!!!

[mighty mauve]

Thank u I hope so🤝🏼

[placid shell]

we're going to exchange EDs fr

you get in columbia i get in penn

[bitter totem]

AMEN 💖

[golden knoll]

U think it’s solid that mine ran about 70 mins then or it all depends on the interviewer

[edgy violet]

that's fine

[golden knoll]

kk

[mighty mauve]

If u don't mind what was the obvious red flag that made u give them the bottom rating?

[edgy violet]

they knew nothing about Dartmouth. They said they were really interested in the nursing program

dartmouth doesn't have nursing

[rough glacier]

If your interviewer recommends you as " best applicant ever" can it potentially move your file from waitlist to accepted ?
Even as an international applicant?

[edgy violet]

perhaps

again, both that I gave top to didn't get in

[golden knoll]

LMFAO

how do u mess@up that bad

At least go in prepared

[mighty mauve]

Hoping this happens to me with Penn 🤲 🤲 🤲

[placid shell]

IM SOBBING how do u just not know that going in if ur presumably going into nursing 😭😭😭

[tame echo]

bro took copy and paste a little too seriously 💀

[dusky locust]

my interviewer double booked and held my interview next to the girl after me, we each got like 20 min interviews 💀

He asked me

1. Tell me about yourself
2. SAT Score
3. Math Courses
4. APs
5. GPA
6. “oh okay then you’ll probably be fine”
7. Any Questions for me

and then he asked me what other colleges i applied to

[fluid matrix]

what the fuck is that interview

stupid interview

whenever they asked how many unis i applied to

i lie my ass off

i say i applied to 4 💀

[gleaming pumice]

😂

[cedar fern]

ok so apparently you can see fin aid dates on portal by inspecting source code

mine says 01/27 does anyone have a recent date change?

[mighty mauve]

Yeah apparently they have received some communication from my family on March 14 lmao

I just wish we knew what💀

[olive hill]

can you send ss?

[cedar fern]

oh yeah you told us lol

[mighty mauve]

My CSS Profile waived also says 03/14

[cedar fern]

it sounds like it's st good ngl

[naive bane]

How

[mighty mauve]

I don't have any hopes for Dartmouth even though it's an amazing school because I didn't send a peer rec (my peers don't speak English) + I didn't get an interview as an international (idk if this matters or not)

[cedar fern]

you can hover over the status thing and click inspect element

[cedar fern]

i heard darty interview are not selective for internationals

[mighty mauve]

But my first year international financial aid app says 01/27

[mighty mauve]

Oh nice. I love Dartmouth tbh I really hope they consider me even without the peer rec

[cedar fern]

a guy in my school got in ed

and he said his fa portal changed

from pic 1 to pic 2

[mighty mauve]

Should I send them statements from my parents' employers even though they didn't ask? Or should I wait for them to ask

[naive bane]

He got any mail?

[cedar fern]

i think they’ll ask for it yeah

he did but its bc his tax doc was missing

[mighty mauve]

Alright then

[golden knoll]

bru

Y’all are into portal astrology so much

That you are literally looking

into the source code

too far man

[cedar fern]

nah i got it from cc its crazy over there

just wanted to check for myself lol

and its true that im desperate 😔

[grave knot]

well yo could look deeper into it and figure out stuff even cc kids havent stumbled upon

[cedar fern]

outdo the doer

omw to be professional portal astrologer rn

[grave knot]

like if you
go to dartmouth portal
click on the application checklist
go to inspect element
scroll to 17th line of the source code
you could
see
if you internet still works

this is the 3rd thread i've done that joke in, someone pls validate my dad jokes

[cedar fern]

HAHAHAHAHAH

you’re funny dw

[craggy ember]

Let this be a sign…

Pleaseee

[cedar fern]

dang do you have it?

[craggy ember]

Iirc yes

[cedar fern]

ah thats nice

[cedar fern]

its def a positive sign imo

wait if you dont mind me asking was it the css or isfaa you submitted?

[craggy ember]

[mossy panther]

[valid parcel]

i wear brown every day so it wouldn’t even look planned

[mossy panther]

ong mood

[raven wave]

college merch is so expensiveee for no reason

[golden knoll]

how much is it

columbias color is so nice

[raven wave]

i have pink dartmouth champion shorts

they were like $35

[mossy panther]

hoodies be 70-75

[golden knoll]

70

dollars?

nah hold up i gotta google this\

[mossy panther]

it’s cus ivys know most kids going have low tuition cost or are rich asf so can spend money on merch

ya

my brother bought one and lost it

then got a bunch of free merch from dorms

and just wears that

[golden knoll]

bro

this quarterzip lowkey goes hard

https://www.dartmouthcoop.com/mens-dartmouth-minus33-merino-wool-1-4-zip/

holy shi

[mossy panther]

i like the pull over ngl it’s also kind of affordable

[golden knoll]

105.99 😵‍💫

[mossy panther]

ya

[golden knoll]

for what reason bro

they have to have a student discount at least

[mossy panther]

nah

it’s school merch

it’s cus they can bank on grand parents and parents buying them as christmas gifts

or back to school clothing

[golden knoll]

damn

shits mad expensive

but lowkey

kids will still buy it to rep the school

considering they will prolly keep the clothing for all 4 years at least

[mossy panther]

ain’t gonna lie as a parent i would buy merch for my kids school

[mossy panther]

most wear it after aswell

[golden knoll]

exactly

so its worth ig

[mossy panther]

ya

[golden knoll]

e

[lucid spire]

[proven schooner]

yeah super late

[raven wave]

[mossy panther]

ya

[golden knoll]

[mossy panther]

i saw it once then my brother said no ur not buying merch u ain’t even coming here

[golden knoll]

i sent one to dartmouth like a week ago

and the AO responded and was super nice

[mossy panther]

wait how did u send one

did u ed and get deferred?

[golden knoll]

well it wasnt an LOCI per say

just an update on what ive been doing

award update and accomplishments

[lucid spire]

what’d they say

[mossy panther]

oh ok

[golden knoll]

umm let me quote

Hello X,

thank for this update, and congratulations on x. Sounds like you've had a really productive winter. I appreciate you keeping me and the rest of the admissions committee in the loop.

hope you have a great weekend

best wishes

x

[lucid spire]

oh nice

[golden knoll]

didnt make it seem like it was too late or anything

[lucid spire]

honestly i don’t have much to update on since i’m on gap year so it’s probably not worth it

[golden knoll]

but im sure as decisions approach it gets later and later

ye even mine was late i admit

but i figured

cant hurt

[lucid spire]

hi dartmouth,
i’m just kinda chilling not doing much but i still wanna go there can u let me in

i’ll send that

[golden knoll]

lmfao

prolly shouldnt

[mossy panther]

i mean someone got in stanford writing #blacklivesmatter 100 times on their essay

[golden knoll]

frl?

[charred dew]

hi dartmouth,

PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASPLEAPLSPELAPLSPALE

thank you

[golden knoll]

LMFAO

[charred dew]

how long was ur thingy

i think imma do one as well

[golden knoll]

not v long

paragraphish length

it was mainly to tell them ab a state award i got and that i would be moving on to compete internationally

figured it may help since im kinda lacking in the award deparement

[charred dew]

oh nice

real af

[golden knoll]

ong

[charred dew]

they didnt send me the finaid email or an interview :c

this email better clutch up 🙏

[golden knoll]

lmaoo

i got the fin aid email

twice

and an interview

i genuinely thought the fin aid email was just like a thing they sent to everyone if things were missing

[charred dew]

might as well put dartmouth in your bio rn

[golden knoll]

i didnt think it had any correlations or nun until i started looking at the server

[charred dew]

nooOO cuz i didnt submit anything except fafsa

and they still didnt email me :\

[golden knoll]

damn

they are still sending emails tho i think

cause i just got my second one 3 days ago

at like 11 pm

so dont trip u still can get one

[charred dew]

oh Real

HOPE

[golden knoll]

💀 ye i wish but im not putting any bets on it until i see an acceptance letter

[formal lake]

I’m telling my junior friends to apply for aid late so they get to do portal astrology 😍😍

[golden knoll]

ye

idk how it works tbh

[carmine flower]

Does dartmouth prescreen applicants before interviews?

[lucid spire]

@charred dew are you gonna send an email

[left falcon]

Maybe?

[formal lake]

Nah

[charred dew]

yah

i got a few state awards recently

[formal lake]

I got my interview on Jan 5th lmao

[left falcon]

I got my interview a month after deadlines

[charred dew]

gotta let em know

[lucid spire]

can i see what your draft looks like if you have one

i can send mine if you want

[charred dew]

i decided to like 5 min ago 😭

id be down to swap after i do write it tho

prob gonna do it in stat tmrw (fuck stat)

[lucid spire]

ok bet

just use chat gpt lol

[charred dew]

TRUe

[lucid spire]

that’s what i’m doing fr

[charred dew]

we are living in the future

[carmine flower]

Alr

Why dont schools prescreen?

Would make sense to not inteview applicants with zero chance of admission

[golden knoll]

i mean

idk

its prolly much easier to just get hella interviews

cause to prescreen they probably have to go all the way through most applications

[maiden breach]

Probably don't have time to read pre-screen & decide and interview

[golden knoll]

and then the alumni interviewers would only have so much time to interview

which would prolly mess heavily with the availability n shit

[carmine flower]

Ah yh

[lucid spire]

@golden knoll who did you contact for the email was it just the general admissions email

[golden knoll]

my regional admissions officer

[lucid spire]

how did you find that

[golden knoll]

https://apply.dartmouth.edu/register/findyouradmissionscounselor

[lucid spire]

mine just gives me the general email address when i put my school in

[golden knoll]

then that prolly the one

idk

mine gave me the email of an AO

[lucid spire]

gotcha

[golden knoll]

but your region might not have a dedicated AO depending on the size

not too sure ab it tbh

[lucid spire]

you think i could see your email?

[golden knoll]

wel

not really but

i basically just went in like

hi x,

although its late in the admissions cycle, I would like to update the admissions office on some new awards and accomplishments I have achieved this year

then i went into them

pre much it

[lucid spire]

ok sweet thanks

[golden knoll]

ye

sure

np

[mighty aurora]

stop the portal stuff

[lucid spire]

does anyone know if there's like an applicant ID or something for dartmouth i'm emailing AO and can't find one

[golden knoll]

nah i couldnt find one anywhere either

even when i filled out an FA form today

i left the ID part blank cause i couldnt find it anywhere in my portal

[rapid sierra]

call?

[golden knoll]

?

wm

[lucid spire]

call

[golden knoll]

ohh

i mean u could

i think if you put your full name

theyll know

[lucid spire]

oh i was just saying call cuz i thought it was funny idk what they actually meant

[golden knoll]

i think they meant like

call the admissions office

[lucid spire]

u right

[placid shell]

oh yeah i sent an update thing mid feb and they actually read it cus my AO sent back

Thank you for your update and congratulations on your many accomplishments! I’ve added them to your application.
Let me know if you have any questions. Wishing you well as you round out your senior year!

[placid shell]

no

[vestal mantle]

please

[edgy violet]

ignore it

[maiden breach]

I know it's tempting to find correlations between portal & admissions, but I'm certain it's nothing so best to ignore it

[vestal mantle]

you can’t discuss portal astrology? why

wth

yeah i know but if it’s been right in the past like

i just feel like checking

[placid shell]

bc then it gets absolutely out of hand and people start hacking portals

[maiden breach]

because it's not real lol

[placid shell]

we don't do that here

also yeah it never works

[candid zinc]

The stars have not aligned for you today.

Instead of doing portal astrology, why don't you astrologize your chances of going outside?

Used 32 times.

[edgy violet]

it being right in the past is like saying "the sun rose on the day this kid was admitted"

people got finaid emails becuase they were missing finaid docs

[vestal mantle]

oh damn ok. i got finaid email from cornell too and i saw ppl saying it’s a “good sign”

but i was acc missing a doc 💀

[rapid sierra]

All the emails have been about missing stuff lol

[sullen hatch]

I got an email during ED and wasn’t missing any documents though. It really goes to show that people should stop reading so much into this stuff because there are so many different situations

[naive bane]

You got in?

[sullen hatch]

Yes

[silent hound]

What was ur email about

[sullen hatch]

At first I got the generic one and then one of the officers emailed me and my parents asking more specific questions about their incomes. I just needed to respond to her email and I didn’t have to submit anything more onto the portal

[silent hound]

now I wish I applied for financial aid just to see if I’d have gotten an email 😭

[golden knoll]

😭😭

[golden knoll]

don’t trip abt it

[maiden breach]

Nah it's fine I didn't apply for fin aid either

[lucid spire]

i emailed them and they responded saying i should upload all updates to my app to my portal just so everyone knows it’s probably not useful to email

[placid shell]

wait it def depends on AO then

bc i emailed my AO in mid feb w updates & they added it to my app for me

[lucid spire]

oh that’s weird

mine wasn’t a specific AO

when i put my school into the AO finder i just got the general email

so maybe that’s the difference

[knotty depot]

did you email [email protected]?

or a different one?

[lucid spire]

yes

that’s what came up for me on the website

[golden knoll]

It’s prolly cause u emailed the general one

Ig

[lucid spire]

yeah probably but that’s all i had

[golden knoll]

U didn’t rly have a choice

Ye

[lucid spire]

i mean at least it’s demonstrated interest ig

cuz they were like thanks for the continued interest but please update the portal with changes

so maybe not entirely useless

[edgy violet]

Could also be different in Feb and now

[lucid spire]

yeah fs

[dapper drift]

Are they allowing to submit updates?

'cuz i sent a week ago and there was no reply from admissions team

[golden knoll]

I assume they’re allowing updates yes

But I doubt they will be considered

There’s only like 9 days

Most decisions are probably finalized

I would say still send it cause it doesn’t hurt

but u already sent it

Did you email a specific AO or the admissions office

[dapper drift]

Yes, I did

They havent replied though

[golden knoll]

hmm

they might be busy af

Since decisions are not out yet

Some last stuff

I emailed an AO about a week ago too for a quick update and she responded in a day so

I think each AO is diff

how big was ur update

[dapper drift]

pretty significant

But i wont worry much as everything is pretty much a lottery

[dapper drift]

Did you ask a question?

[golden knoll]

No I just told the ao like about an award and accomplishments I have completed recently

[golden knoll]

ye

[dapper drift]

Did they include it?

[golden knoll]

Idk they didn’t say if it was added to my application

They just said congratulations on my accomplishments and that I had a productive sxhool year so far

and that they appreciate me keeping them and the admissions committee in the loop

[dapper drift]

Alr, Ill just call or something

[golden knoll]

Kk

ye I’m sure ur can’t hurt

[lucid spire]

i emailed and they responded in less than a day

what address did you email

[dapper drift]

Like?

@dartmouth.edu

[lucid spire]

what

what email address

[dapper drift]

[email protected]

Got it from regional representative page

[lucid spire]

oh then idk i just emailed general admission office cuz that was what the regional rep page gave me

[dapper drift]

What did they reply?

[lucid spire]

they said thanks for your interest, please upload all changes to the portal

[dapper drift]

Well Ill do that also

So how do you include an update that you can conclude in a line or two

[maiden breach]

every dartmouth email address is [email protected]

for example my admissions officer was Laura S. Tapper, so her email is [email protected]

if u couldn't find it u can email the main office

but yeah it's so late I'm not sure if updates would be helpful, if u need to update probably keep it very short

[dapper drift]

Should I write it like a letter?

[maiden breach]

yeah, but I would only update them if something really important happened/changed, otherwise save it for loci

[knotty depot]

did you email your regional AO or did you just upload it as "additional materials" on the portal?

[golden knoll]

ye regional AO but you can do additional materials I believe

[raven wave]

broo i had a phat panic attack

basically I did the indigenous fly in and I told my interviewer about some negative experiences I had while on campus

And I guess she told the Admissions guy who does IFI about it and he sent me an email about it and the things I thought dartmouth I thought could improve on that I wrote in my supplementals

I shat myself i stg

[edgy violet]

That's cool. Nice that they took your feedback seriously

and now the email

[zinc summit]

Oh Dartmouth, my heart beats for thee,
With every thought of thy ivy-covered halls,
I yearn to be part of thy legacy,
And embrace the education that enthralls.

In Hanover, where the seasons change,
And autumn's hues adorn the trees,
I long to learn and grow with each passing stage,
And fulfill my academic destinies.

With brilliant minds and a spirit of pride,
Dartmouth has stood the test of time,
And in your classrooms, I hope to reside,
To gain knowledge and skills that are sublime.

Oh Dartmouth, please grant me this chance,
To become a member of thy community,
And with every lesson and every dance,
To become the best version of me.

So here's my plea, my humble request,
For a place in thy hallowed halls,
I promise to give my very best,
And to strive to exceed all expectations, big and small.

[late thicket]

[proven schooner]

i hope i get waitlisted just so i can submit this as part of my loci

[edgy violet]

I'm going to Hanover this weekend! Let me know if you want pics of anything

[rough glacier]

Yes we want pics!!!
The library!
Foco! etc...

[edgy violet]

Foco might be tough, since I'm not gonna pay, but you should be able to find good pics online

let me know if you can't

[golden knoll]

!!

could you send pics of anything

whatever you take

whatever you think is the coolest part of campus !

[zinc summit]

Definitely

[edgy violet]

[edgy violet]

honestly, after living in Hanover for 7 years, there are a thousand special places...

[mossy panther]

[sullen hatch]

Take a picture of lee coffin

[edgy violet]
