[rapid sierra]

No astrology

[eager summit]

Okay we’ll find out in a week so I won’t bother myself with expectations

[zinc summit]

Congrats

🥳🥳

[amber spear]

Congratulaitons
Mind sharing if you got an interview?

[eager summit]

No I didn’t get any interview lol I’m international seeking full ride

I don’t wanna have high expectations tho😭

[eager summit]

Should i really take it as a good sign?

[zinc summit]

Yesss

[eager summit]

I also see this too

But I still don’t wanna believe it😢

But thanks very much for the support

[zinc summit]

Did you get an interview

[eager summit]

No

I didn’t

🥵

Is it related?

[zinc summit]

Okay

[zinc summit]

Not for Dartmouth

[eager summit]

Good luck to you all as well!

Keep us posted

[zinc summit]

Yeah

[slim slate]

Congrats. Did you submit any tax documents and Parent’s wage statements beforehand or just the CSS profile?

[eager summit]

CSS profile and some docs related to noncustodial parent

Non-filer

[slim slate]

Oh ok. Goodluck for Dartmouth.

[eager summit]

Thank you! Same to you as well.

[amber spear]

When did you get it btw?

[eager summit]

March 23-24 midnight EST I guess

[raw glacier]

Guys, is it a bad/good sign?

[eager summit]

They said it’s a good sign lol

[eager summit]

R u international?

[raw glacier]

Yep

[eager summit]

Me too. Let’s hope it’s a good sign!

[stoic plover]

Can int'ls get in without an interview? I'm lowkey freaking out coz I'm in a metropolis and had 0 ivy interviews 💀

[tidal dirge]

which country 👀

[golden knoll]

people have said this is a good sign but I’d not place any bets on it

I’ve received the email 2x

don’t wanna get my hopes up incase of a rejection

[mossy panther]

i mean ik ima get rejected my dartmouth app was just for my parents

[maiden breach]

Don't believe it, how does that random dude from cc knows?

[maiden breach]

No sign

Ignore the astrology

Dartmouth need blind, admissions separate from fin aid office

[golden knoll]

ye just wait the 6 days n find out

[formal lake]

6 days???

[maiden breach]

^

[formal lake]

Is it rly just 6 days away😭😭😭

[golden knoll]

ye

[grave knot]

i refuse to believe and i choose to advocate that march is a conspiracy and February was magically made smaller

[golden knoll]

lol

[formal lake]

Like wtf. How is it almost here😭😭

[maiden breach]

For me waiting was the hardest part

[golden knoll]

Ye

Agreed

[maiden breach]

Which is why I joined a2c so we can be anxious together lol

[golden knoll]

I forgot about decisions until uchicago came out

[formal lake]

Me rn

[golden knoll]

now I can’t stop thinking ab it

[maiden breach]

But honestly it's so late not like we can do anything about it anymore

[golden knoll]

ye

just a waiting game

[maiden breach]

The best thing to do is try to relax

U already did all the hard work of submitting your app and everything that comes with it

[golden knoll]

yep

[maiden breach]

Try to have some fun and relax as impossible as it may sound

[golden knoll]

Just a few more days and it’s spring break too

so jus gonna chill out

[maiden breach]

Yeah

Any plans for spring break?

[golden knoll]

nah just prolly gonna like

sleep and stuff

[maiden breach]

Nice

[golden knoll]

might go out to the mall or shopping with my mom

Got robotics too late in the break

[maiden breach]

Oh cool, have fun!

[golden knoll]

ye

hbu

Thx

[maiden breach]

Traveling to California and New York

[golden knoll]

Senior year spring break and going to just be tourists lol

[golden knoll]

And Orlando in April

[maiden breach]

Ohh fun!

[golden knoll]

ye going to Disney world and shit

[maiden breach]

haha nice

[golden knoll]

Going for DECA but there’s a decent amount of free time so we get to explore a lil

[maiden breach]

April is a good month for Disney

Cause u don't have the crowds in summer lol

[golden knoll]

ye there will prolly be hella people tho

Since everyone from DECA will be at Disney too

[maiden breach]

True

[golden knoll]

I heard it’s super expensive tho so prolly won’t buy much there

[maiden breach]

Yeah, Disney is expensive

[golden knoll]

U have ever been

[maiden breach]

Yes, the Hong Kong 1 and Shanghai 1 (I'm Chinese)

The Hong Kong 1 was really expensive

[wide herald]

good

my friend got it before admitted ed

[golden knoll]

Ohh

[maiden breach]

Come on no astrology pls

[golden knoll]

U are intl then v

?

[wide herald]

it’s probably uncorrelated

[maiden breach]

1 case doesn't speak for all

[wide herald]

just saying he got it then got admitted

no other comments

[maiden breach]

Ok

[violet cradle]

Guys

Hi

[golden knoll]

Hi

[maiden breach]

Hi

[rapid sierra]

Bruh I've wasted my entire spring break waiting for these bum ass schools

Honestly worst spring break I've ever had lol

[maiden breach]

Oh nooo :(((

Is it over?

If not u still have time to rectify lol

[rapid sierra]

Well it was this week and today's Friday

Just full of anxiety

I wake up with a countdown to my next decision, wish I still had school so I could at least be occupied with something else

[maiden breach]

Oof

Well it's the weekend

Ask a friend to go and hang out together

They might be stressing out too

[neat escarp]

I got the same email two days before the notification date

[placid shell]

reminder that the financial aid email is not a sign of acceptance or rejection, just that you didn't complete your financial aid application

[edgy violet]

👍👍👍👍👍

[grave knot]

fuck everything i just want dartmouth

[golden knoll]

frl

the checklist is gone now

gettin close

[raw glacier]

Does Dartmouth has wl for early decision students?
Or just defer list

[golden knoll]

pre sure

no school WL's

in early rounds

they either accept, defer, or reject

[raw glacier]

ty, one dude wanted to troll me

that he got in through wl

[golden knoll]

np

[mighty mauve]

Ok I think I figured out the communication thing

[golden knoll]

wdym'

[mighty mauve]

And 2 items on my fin aid checklist are dated March 14 so hopefully I'm not rejected yet🤝🏼

[mighty mauve]

My isfaa had another page at the end explaining and some additional info. So I think that's what they mean by communication?

[golden knoll]

ye astrology but all of my shit is 3/14 now

[mighty mauve]

But I didn't submit earning statements and wasn't asked to submit any so idk

[golden knoll]

tis against the rules so lets not chat about it

but hopefulyl

[edgy violet]

just defer, which is basically the exact same as a WL tbf

[vivid mountain]

Dartmouth will accept me

[untold briar]

Dartmouth will accept us on the 30th!!

[vivid mountain]

Period

[rough glacier]

Dartmouth pleaseeeeeee 😭

[edgy violet]

Some views of the interior and exterior of the new CS building. The exterior of the Irving institute for energy studies. Fahey hall, one of the newest dorms on campus. Then topliff hall and the gold coast dorms. Then the backs of Haldemann (a bunch of interdisciplinary departments) and kemeny hall (math). And the last one is of Steele (left) which hold chemistry, Fairchild (center) which has earth sciences, and wilder (right), home to physics

[deft quartz]

I loved the essays I wrote for Dartmouth, well have to see

[zinc summit]

Beautiful

[fluid matrix]

bro

dartmouth ong

i need u

[golden knoll]

Damn what’s the first building

[deft quartz]

I think that’s like engineering / comp sci

[golden knoll]

Super nice

[deft quartz]

But I may not remember correctly

I toured campus during Winter Carnival, and I got to go inside Baker and climb to the top. I signed my name in there, saying I was a prospective ‘27. I pray that maybe I manifested my admission that day, but we shall see

[maiden breach]

nice nice gl

This is a cool car I saw on campus

I feel like it's so quintessentially Dartmouth lmao

[golden knoll]

Wtf Lol

That’s funny

and cool

[deft quartz]

Straight out of mad max lol

[maiden breach]

😂 lol

[deft quartz]

Not enough keggy the keg tho

[golden knoll]

That thing is more america than Dartmouth

[maiden breach]

indeed, very american

[golden knoll]

😭😭

rahhh 🦅

[grave knot]

why would you share that 4 days before ivy day

now i'll be simping too hard

[maiden breach]

sorry T^T

I just remembered to share after biggreen10 posted photos

[grave knot]

that rejection will be hitting hard

[maiden breach]

but on the bright side

[grave knot]

[maiden breach]

if u don't get in but get in somewhere else

then u can make *the *campus cool car for that school

[golden knoll]

Fr

No cap

@maiden breach

U visited campus right so what was the nicest part in your opinion

[maiden breach]

Ok so I'm a very nature-y person

I talked to some dude at the DOC (Dartmouth Outing Club)

and he showed me where people sign up for outdoor trips, and there's pretty much trips every single day, and there's people signed up for all of them even in summer, which was pretty cool

Campus wise

I like to bike, but I hate hills

And I really liked that Dartmouth campus was very flat lol

Those were kind of the weird unique details I noticed from visiting

[golden knoll]

yea that’s something my interviewer told me

he said sign up for the early trips

it helps the experience so much he said

[maiden breach]

oh yeah, I'm really looking forward to those

I also know a teacher at my school who went to the Dartmouth engineering graduate school

Her advice: make sure u enjoy nature & the outdoors

or dartmouth isn't a great fit for u

[cinder veldt]

What was the lowest gpa accepted by Dartmouth in class of 2026?

[maiden breach]

hmm hard to answer

I mean different schools calculate gpa differently

and they also take into account the rigor of hs & rigor of courses u take

[cinder veldt]

like approximately

[golden knoll]

yup that’s what my interviewer said

[maiden breach]

and there's also sports recruitment and legacy and stuff

[grave knot]

approximately every ivy will have some 2 something gpa but with olympic something medal, 5x legacy and multi million dollar donations, idt thats a good dataset to extrapolate on

[cinder veldt]

yeah im ready to create multiple campuses worldwide after my graduation in darmouth💀💀

they have to admit me!

[mighty mauve]

Yeah this rejection is gonna make me cry fr

[edgy violet]

its owned by a total creeper

[edgy violet]

he's talking about Freshman trips, but yeah, both are great

[edgy violet]

i'm not sure that is totally true

[edgy violet]

probably a lot lower than you think, but iwth some kind of strong rationale

[edgy violet]

most of those people are a lot closer to the typical academic profile than you think

[deft quartz]

aka is he or she a nationally ranked baseball player

[maiden breach]

Did not know that 💀

When I asked the tour guide was like oh yeah a legendary alumn fixed up that car & ppl even get pics with him

[maiden breach]

Interesting

[meager quest]

why does no one apply to dartmouth lol

[maiden breach]

Wdym lol

[meager quest]

idk, haven't met many people that like dartmouth

[deft quartz]

well, i like dartmouth

[maiden breach]

Well now you have in this chat lmao!

[deft quartz]

i hope they like me too

[golden knoll]

a lot do

[maiden breach]

Dartmouth is very small and niche

[golden knoll]

just less compared to the other ivys

prolly the location turns people away

since its more rural and shit

[maiden breach]

It's also not super popular at my school which is in the suburbs

Many of my friends want to go to cities

[maiden breach]

True

[golden knoll]

ye

people want to go to college and be in a city

[maiden breach]

And some ppl also don't like how it's so small

[golden knoll]

they wanna b able to go out and do hella shit and stuff

which u can still do at dartmouth but its just diff

[golden knoll]

what ab it is small

[maiden breach]

Yeah, Dartmouth is more niche

[maiden breach]

Like the # of students is smaller than most Ivys

But honestly in my opinion it's not that small

[golden knoll]

ye

i thought they had one of the larger class sizes

maybe im trippin

[maiden breach]

No no

Small class sizes

Most classes below 20

[golden knoll]

oh

wow

[maiden breach]

Exception is like intro to psych which is 100+ ppl I heard

[golden knoll]

dope

what're you majoring in btw

[maiden breach]

Which is still smaller than the intro classes of many ivy +s

[maiden breach]

Liberal arts u can be undecided lol, and I'm taking my 2 years to explore

[zinc summit]

everyone in my region is applying to dartmouth lol, im also yet to get an interview despite everyone else recieving (never happening)

[maiden breach]

But for now I'm interested in environmental studies, possibly public policy & neuroscience minor

[maiden breach]

That's ok, could be hard especially since your international

Dartmouth is 1 of the schools that really understand that and won't count it against u I heard

[zinc summit]

I know but i watched 6 people from my school get interviewed 😭

I wont think on it too hard ig

[maiden breach]

Oh no I'm sorry :(((

Yeah dw about it

[golden knoll]

ahh cool

im so undecided lmfao

im all over the place

[maiden breach]

Haha that's totally fine bc same here

[edgy violet]

tens of thousands of people apply to dartmouth

[edgy violet]

smaller than all of them

[edgy violet]

yeah, gen chem is another big one, but even like... the second calc class is like 40-50

[maiden breach]

is that MATH 8 or 11 or 13?

[edgy violet]

Math 8

i'd imagine 11 and 13 are a bit smaller

[maiden breach]

ok

[edgy violet]

so MATH 8 is capped at 40, 13 is capped at 35

[deft quartz]

i seemed to have stumbled upon something horrifying, wtf is calculus 13

at that point are you just newton

[edgy violet]

but both math 8 sections are under 30 people

not calc 13

[maiden breach]

*math 13

[edgy violet]

math 13

[maiden breach]

sorry

[deft quartz]

oh aight lol

[edgy violet]

Calc of Vector-Valued Fctns

and then linear algebra is like 50

[maiden breach]

is math 13 like multi

[maiden breach]

💀

[edgy violet]

This course is a sequel to MATH 8 and provides an introduction to calculus of vector-valued functions. Topics include differentiation and integration of parametrically defined functions with interpretations of velocity, acceleration, arclength and curvature. Other topics include iterated, double, triple and surface integrals including change of coordinates. The remainder of the course is devoted to vector fields, line integrals, Green's theorem, curl and divergence, and Stokes' theorem. Not open to students who have received credit for MATH 011.

[maiden breach]

so it is multi

what happens between math 13 multi & 50 lin alg

[edgy violet]

second half?

I think math 8 is the start of multi

50 was the number of seats in linear algebra

the number is MATH 22

[maiden breach]

oh ok I completely misunderstood that lol

what level of math do u need if you're not math major qwq

[edgy violet]

you need to take one QDS distrib

which could be any math

but also LING 1, PHIL 6

[maiden breach]

are the higher level maths (like over math 13) ever pre-reqs for other classes in non-math departments?

[edgy violet]

computer science and engineering need...

[maiden breach]

what about environmental studies & neuroscience

[edgy violet]

nah

probably math 3 for neuro for the bio classes

[maiden breach]

yay!

[golden knoll]

hey biggreen

how difficult is double majoring @ dart

[edgy violet]

Ezpz

[golden knoll]

do u mind if i dm you

[edgy violet]

Sure I guess

[smoky pollen]

everyday i think about how I told dartmouth i want to do special major in my application (depsite them on their website the proposal is unlikely). Still think it was good bold move and i supported it well in application

[maiden breach]

I think it's a good move bc it shows you've done research

plus it's not like you're bounded to do the special major

[deft quartz]

if you presented it well in your application, all the power to you.

[maiden breach]

^

[deft quartz]

still if the proposal's unlikelihood of acceptance is correlated with your chance of your admission, then that's a bit worrying

i wish you all the best, i'll keep you in my prayers regardless

[mossy panther]

my brother is a triple major it’s easy if the courses overlap he said

[golden knoll]

holy

triple major

[mossy panther]

yeah

he a menace

it’s cus he an econ stats and math so they overlap well

[golden knoll]

damn

[golden knoll]

I’d prolly do like Econ and Public Policy

[mossy panther]

it’s probably more work than what he did but ya it’s definitely possible

[golden knoll]

ye ofc

id have to look into it

that is if i even do end up going to dartmouth

gotta wait and see on ivy day

[haughty perch]

me omw to do math, psychology and business 😈

[maiden breach]

I think u can only minor in public policy

It's like u study something else and everyone brings their expertise in different areas into learning public policy

[edgy violet]

yeah in my 3 years in the registrars office i saw 0 approved, but I don't tihnk saying it would hurt you

[edgy violet]

it isn't easy, but it is potentially doable. Almost certainly not worth it

[edgy violet]

dartmouth doesn't have business

[haughty perch]

yeah ik, said the 3 most different majors I could think of

I would never study business anyways 🤢

[edgy violet]

hah aok

[edgy violet]

yeah, that's a good way to think about it

[zenith hinge]

same but physics, neuroscience, and philosophy

[edgy violet]

honestly, you need your three majors to NOT overlap to cover distribs. You cannot double count classes between majors

[mossy panther]

he only is getting stats cus of the overlap

idk how he explained it

i think prerequisites for classes he had to take worked for the other majors

[maiden breach]

how early does he has to start planning to get all required classes for all majors in

[mossy panther]

he just went with the flow bro planned nothing

[maiden breach]

whoa 💀

when did he decide to triple major

[mossy panther]

his last term so right now cus he is graduating in june

[maiden breach]

wow cool

[edgy violet]

he may have added the final major during senior year, but you can't just decide to do a whole major as a senior

as someone who tried to add a minor senior year

[mossy panther]

he didn’t really explain it to me he said something about his professor saying he could cus of course requirements

[severe matrix]

did anyones checklist go away

[winter moon]

mine did

[mossy panther]

everyone’s did

[copper elbow]

what checklist

i still have everything receieved

[mossy panther]

on ur portal

it should be blank

[fluid matrix]

decisions uploaded then

[mossy panther]

i haven’t checked mine but the email said they were going down i think

[deft quartz]

checklist has been gone for days now

[maiden night]

I still have financial aid checklist

I think I forgot to fill everything out

[deft quartz]

i'd make sure to figure that out lol

[wide herald]

ahh i hope my dartmouth finaid is complete

if i get in princeton or cornell i’m screwed

[cinder veldt]

ok bro

[wide herald]

i’m just saying i wasn’t able to upload signed copies

i hope dartmouth didn’t require that

we do all of our taxes online and my parents couldn’t figure out how to sign it

[cinder veldt]

dartmouth is shit :DDD

[wide herald]

zamn

[cinder veldt]

if they required it they would tell you directly in email or etc

[wide herald]

figured

[cinder veldt]

i just used my uncle's tax form and edited it by myself :DD

[golden knoll]

do you have a mac

[wide herald]

no

[golden knoll]

shi

[wide herald]

i was thinking about doing a digital signature

[golden knoll]

if you can j ust find an online pdf editor

[wide herald]

and then photoshopping

[golden knoll]

i use Kami @ school

[wide herald]

yeah i have kami too

[golden knoll]

I did a digital signature but I used mac

[wide herald]

just not sure my parents want me to put their tax documents on my school account

[golden knoll]

on mac it allows you to use your finger on the trackpad to create a signature

so i just pasted that in

[golden knoll]

fair enough

[wide herald]

oh interesting

[golden knoll]

you can potentially like

[wide herald]

i have ipad

[golden knoll]

im not sure if you can do it on ipad but

try to google it

you might

[wide herald]

maybe

[golden knoll]

lemme check on my phone if i can edit documents like that

[wide herald]

i’ll figure it out if i get in somewhere i need a signed copy for

[golden knoll]

ye

it works

so

get the tax files into your documents app

on ur ipad

then just sign it on there by clicking the little pen/marker icon on the botton

then save it and upload it yk

[wide herald]

interesting

alright i’ll probably go that route then

[golden knoll]

ye np

try it out

lmk how it works

[wide herald]

afaik only princeton and cornell needed signed copies

[golden knoll]

ye

[wide herald]

both reaches so like it might be worth waiting 2 days

[golden knoll]

for both of them you should be able to upload directly to them

[wide herald]

yeah i think so

[golden knoll]

Cornell has a secure document uploader that ive used

not too sure about pton but i think you can upload directly there as well

[haughty perch]

download the free version of acrobat

and just use the fill and sign option?

just take a picture of their sign on a white sheet and add that to whatever pdf the college needs

[slate laurel]

it means a person from the financial aid office sent you an email asking for clarity about something on your css and fasfa profile

(:

2,5 days left or less

chill!

[maiden breach]

Remember, Dartmouth is need blind, so admissions is separated from fin aid

[torpid valley]

i'm still not getting in either way

but thanks appreciate the effort

[deft quartz]

I think most schools are need blind

Forgive me if I’m mistaken

[gleaming pumice]

It’s the opposite

[keen lotus]

It's the opposite. Most schools are need aware.

[edgy violet]

definitely not. Many of the top schools are, but across the board no. And in particular, Dartmouth is 1 of 7 that are need blind for all

[deft quartz]

i was sorta referring to the top schools when i said that

[tiny pagoda]

Do you need an interview to get in?

[golden knoll]

no

[tiny pagoda]

Did anyone here get one?

[golden knoll]

yes

I did

[tiny pagoda]

what month?

[golden knoll]

like

late january

[tiny pagoda]

That means i probably didn't get in lol

[golden knoll]

doubt

theres prollyjust not much availability

[wide herald]

i did

[tiny pagoda]

what major?

[wide herald]

astro

it was late feb/early march

[tiny pagoda]

Interesting

[edgy violet]

interview assignments have nothing to do with anything other than availability

[tiny pagoda]

Proof?

[edgy violet]

i used to assign interviews.

how about that proof?

[tiny pagoda]

for dartmouth?

I heard for harvard and yale its not random

[edgy violet]

well this is the dartmotuh thread

[tiny pagoda]

So you know for sure dartmouth interviews are truly random?

Ok thank you

[edgy violet]

like i said, i used to assign them

[tidal dirge]

wb senior interview

[tiny pagoda]

were you a former dartmouth AO?

[edgy violet]

no, i used to be a registrar

but to your question, AOs aren't invovled in the interview program at all

it is under alumni affairs

(I mean they are to some degree, but they don't assign, regional volunteers do)

[tiny pagoda]

Volunteers assign AO interviews?

Wouldn't that be a leak of personal info tho?

[wide herald]

alumni and AO interviews are different

alumnis are assigned by the regional chair

AOs are given by AOs

for mit i was interviewed by the vp of the region and he assigned all of the alumni interviews

[tiny pagoda]

are you MIT alum rn

[wide herald]

No, but he walked me through the entire process

[tiny pagoda]

oh

[wide herald]

I can’t generalize it for other schools but I can say it’s similar

[tiny pagoda]

are you in college rn?

[wide herald]

No I applied this year lol

[tiny pagoda]

Oh did u get into MIT?

[wide herald]

Sadly no but he was a really cool guy

[tiny pagoda]

That's unfortunate 😦

did you get in anywhere so far?

[wide herald]

Yes

[tiny pagoda]

ooh where

[edgy violet]

somewhere in the application you gave permission for your info to be shared for certain purposes

[rapid lagoon]

i did in early february

[junior bronze]

I got mine a couple weeks ago

[tiny pagoda]

what regions are you guys from?

[robust swift]

Canada

[deft quartz]

ny

[tidal dirge]

Canada

[inner kestrel]

how much does not sending a peer rec hurt?

[edgy violet]

a bit I'd imagine. IT is recommended, which means all but required

[stiff inlet]

Anyone get in ED

[junior bronze]

TN

[inner kestrel]

• puts dartmouth decision in red in college spreadsheet *

[maiden breach]

Yeah hi

[stiff inlet]

nice congrats

[maiden breach]

Thanks!

[stiff inlet]

I know a family friends kid that go in ED as well

Maybe you’ll see them

Depending on how big the class is idk

[maiden breach]

Oh cool! Its a small world haha

I think each class is only 1000 ish ppl

So yeah probably

[inner kestrel]

dartmouth has a really cute small vibe to it lol

[stiff inlet]

yeah it seems pretty small

[maiden breach]

True, that's partially why I applied

[inner kestrel]

fs same here

i think the small class size really allows you to form deeper connections

w profs and classmates too

[mighty mauve]

The Dartmouth peer rec + the Princeton graded paper were two things that I really didn't have the resources to submit. I'm just glad that at least the peer rec is optional

[inner kestrel]

whats princeton graded paper? i didnt apply so idk

[maiden breach]

Yes I agree

Especially since there are practically no grad students at dartmouth so the profs need undergrads to help with research

[inner kestrel]

kind of regret not EDing now :/

[inner kestrel]

EXACTLY!

also a big part of why i applied

i wasnt considering dartmouth until like christmas lol

[maiden breach]

Aww I'm sorry :((

[mighty mauve]

They need a graded written paper that you wrote in high school that has your teacher's feedback. They wanna assess your English writing abilities. Now idk how am I supposed to have that when the only essays we write in out curriculum are 1 page papers praising the leader or other religious figures AND we have like no writing in English at all

[stiff inlet]

So you RDed

Oh

[stiff inlet]

but you didn’t RD?

[inner kestrel]

nono i RDed, but i wanted to ED

[mighty mauve]

Like if you wanna see my writing then ask for the SAT with essay or sth. At least that's something I can do. I can't change my country's educational system for a paper smh

[inner kestrel]

like i basically didnt realise dartmouth was for me until too late

[maiden breach]

Deadline was Jan 3rd I think

[wide herald]

dartmouth ed acceptance % was like 20 right?

[maiden breach]

Yeah, 19

[stiff inlet]

what country is this?!

[mighty mauve]

Yeah me too. Dartmouth seems like a great fit. But I couldn't ED anywhere so it was out of my control

[stiff inlet]

not bad, I might ED to Dartmouth or NU. Not gonna get in though

[mighty mauve]

Iran

[wide herald]

NU ed was what i should’ve done

[stiff inlet]

the problem with Dartmouth ED is that I heard they accept a lot of athletes

[inner kestrel]

why are u on this channel as a sophomore 💀💀💀

[mighty mauve]

If I had EDed then I could have a better chance without the peer rec

[stiff inlet]

don’t worry I’m a junior, I joined when I was a sophomore

[inner kestrel]

goes for every ED school

[inner kestrel]

okay that makes sense because honestly touch grass as a soph 😭

guys give me a dare for if/when i get into dartmouth

[celest zealot]

a DAREtmouth

[stiff inlet]

cut off your hair

[maiden breach]

That is true to an extent, but they also admit half the class ED, and I heard athletes don't get as a boost/take up as large of a percentage than other small liberal arts schools

[inner kestrel]

more like 🎯👄

[celest zealot]

So true

[inner kestrel]

i already have hairfall bc of all the anxiety i dont need to cut my hair off now 💀

no but fr ill get green streaks or sth lol

[maiden breach]

Just chill. It's already stressful don't give urself anything else to stress about

[stiff inlet]

Oo

[maiden breach]

Wait actually that's good 😂

[inner kestrel]

no just as a fun thing lol. thing to be more spontaneous this summer (:

[maiden breach]

K got it lol

[stiff inlet]

when people say athletes what do they mean? Like d1 recruits or just people that are decent at sports

[maiden breach]

Ppl who r recruited for sports

Dartmouth is D1, but it also goes for schools with D3

[stiff inlet]

oh, but why do those kids have to ED? Don’t they just get recruited? lol I have no clue about sports

[inner kestrel]

to get commitments earlier and figure out how much space is left for other applicants would be my assumption

[maiden breach]

I'm not an expert either, but my understanding is that if you're already connected to the coach and the coach wants u on that team you're already interested in the school enough to make the ED commitment

If the school don't have ED they'll EA or something I assume

[stiff inlet]

Another thing I think it could be is that athletes have to have decent academics for the ivys

[stiff inlet]

makes sense

[maiden breach]

True, but in some instances the bar would be lower

[stiff inlet]

isn’t it true that some athletes still have to pay

[maiden breach]

I feel like most do

It's really rare to get a full ride scholarship if that's what ur asking

[stiff inlet]

at least for ivys I feel

[maiden breach]

Yeah, unless they have demonstrated need and the institute meets all demonstrated need

[stiff inlet]

other school give full rides to most athletes

[maiden breach]

Oh I didn't know that

[stiff inlet]

yeah, because some schools rely on their sports teams to get name recognition

ivys don’t need

[maiden breach]

Ok that makes sense

[edgy violet]

There are no athletic scholarships in the ivy league

nor merit

[stiff inlet]

No merit scholarships?

wow

[edgy violet]

no

[zinc summit]

cornell has one for indians

but other than that i havent seen any

[native lake]

columbia has those “named scholars” for likely letter people

which get 10k in funding

[inner kestrel]

idts that merit no?

tata

[edgy violet]

i don't thi nkthat is merit. I think is a separate pool for indian students

[native lake]

those likely letters from columbia are on your application merit not financial need

[inner kestrel]

meed based iirc

[zinc summit]

oh i see

didnt know

[stiff inlet]

they all have need based

[mossy panther]

hey

[edgy violet]

60 is dumb tbf

[vivid mountain]

lmao

[stiff inlet]

Class of 27?

[stiff inlet]

Shotgunning the t20s? Imma just shotgun the t60s. (Kids in 10 years)

[wide herald]

confused

it says this was uploaded to dartmouth portal but i never did

should i do it? it says received but i never uploaded anything for them then

we literally never signed this either

[craggy ember]

Just wait and see I guess

Did you get this as an email?

[golden knoll]

no way

dartmouth has martial arts classes?

do most schools?

[torpid valley]

in 60 years you will need a pre application to be selected for applying to the colleges

that's the society we are heading towards

[meager quest]

Yeah this system is unsustainable

Legit lotto

[torpid valley]

that's actually what's happened in india

not the lotto part

but there was so much demand

first they used to have a single exam to get into the top eng unis in india

even that was very easy because of low demand

then the exam became very difficult

till then still fair enough

but then suddenly every part wants their child to be an engineer for the money

so now they have a selection exam just to determine if you are eligible to give the main exam

[earnest cove]

!portalrule

[candid zinc]

Any discussion about whether or not material you've received or a change related to your college portal means you've been accepted/rejected/etc. falls under "portal astrology" and is not allowed. This includes suggesting that having a button on your portal determines if you get in or not, a checklist disappearing meaning you're rejected, or assuming financial aid emails get you into a school. This is due to these speculations being usually incorrect, and can cause the spread of misinformation, panic, and anxiety at some of the most stressful times.

[edgy violet]

Maybe as a pe class

I think there are martial arts clubs too

[wide herald]

nope :(

[mossy panther]

ik dartmouth has fencing

[rough glacier]

I would really love to learn Karate😭

Dean Lee Coffin Please 😭😭😭

[craggy ember]

Rip

[mighty mauve]

I watched some of their videos on YT and oh boy they're good

They don't have a yt channel for my martial art, but I have been in karate competitions before and I know a pro when I see one

Those videos are old though so it might not be like that now

[grave knot]

any ivy

[nocturne hawk]

Dartmouth 🙏

[deft quartz]

🙏

[silent fjord]

Dartmouth

[gleaming pumice]

Your academic profile is amazing great work

How is your extracurricular profile?

[edgy violet]

what schools aer you looking at with spring admissions?

[golden knoll]

Nah Hol up

It’s gotta be a sign

Hold up

ITS GOTTA BE AN EVEN BIGGER SIGN

[edgy violet]

It's a college not a university. 0/10 signage

[golden knoll]

fawk

Close enough though

[sullen hatch]

@edgy violet do you think it’s worth it to fly to lebanon airport when traveling to Dartmouth or taking the Dartmouth coach from Boston Airport?

[edgy violet]

Very few flights go to leb

Boston and coaxh is e as sy

[vivid mountain]

y’all r gonna be seeing me freak out in this thread tmrw when i get my acceptance letter

[sullen hatch]

Is the coach nice?

[edgy violet]

it is fine

have you been on a coach bus before?

[sullen hatch]

Yeah but not the Dartmouth one, when I visited we flew from Boston to Lebanon and it was terrible

[edgy violet]

it is just a regular coach bus

I've only flown to lebanon on a private jet

[sullen hatch]

I see

Yeah my commercial flight had like 5 people on it and it was not enjoyable so I’m thinking of just taking the coach from now on

[edgy violet]

yeah, cape air flies little planes like that

coach is super easy

cheap

[sullen hatch]

I didn’t know that until I was on the plane😭

[edgy violet]

i didn't realize they flew to boston actually

i thought leb only went to HPN

[sullen hatch]

They actually had a few flights to Boston

Definitely not flying cape air again😭

[oblique jay]

does everyone have their financial aid checklist still

checking to see if theres a glitch

[edgy violet]

ignore it

likely just prepping the portl for tomorrow

[oblique jay]

yeah prob

[storm sapphire]

mine is still there

[rapid lagoon]

yessir

i can still see the 21 documents they requested from me🤬🤬🤬

[wide herald]

@edgy violet (sorry for the ping) “Federal Verification Form” was listed on my portal as completed as of 3/14, but I did not fill this out—I filled out a similar form for yale but it didn’t have this information on it. Dartmouth also claims they have a signed copy of my Parents’ 2021 Federal Income as of 2/17, but they don’t have a signed copy either (I would know, princeton and cornell both wanted one from me…). Should I contact Dartmouth financial aid about this or is it fine for now?

I’m just worried why they would list it as complete if they don’t have it (they do have my parents’ Federal Income for 2021, and a similar household verification form, but not these exact forms or signatures)

[edgy violet]

I think ti is fine, if it is marked correct, my assumption would be that they have what they need, even if it isn't EXACTLY what it says

[wide herald]

hopefully

i’m getting palpitations from going into portals and seeing my financial aid docs either not complete or with random stuff i didn’t fill out that is unchecked/checked

[edgy violet]

you could call, but i would assume they'd have asked if they needed anything

[golden knoll]

im sure its fine

i have the same thing

Federal Verification Form

also dated 3/14

yet i didnt fill it out

I also didnt submit a signed copy of the tax returns bc they were digital

and they didnt say anything

[wide herald]

ah

[deft quartz]

of all the ivies i toured this was my favorite

please, manifest 🙏

[maiden breach]

Ohh good luck!!!

[deft quartz]

i have a friend at dartmouth right now who showed me around campus for a solid 90 minutes, i can definitely imagine myself there

plus it was during winter carnival

extremely unlikely i will be admitted, but i can dream

[tidal dirge]

good luck to everyone tomorrow!

[torpid valley]

ivy day is upon us people

[placid dagger]

🔮

[torpid valley]

time to go and become a pro at rejection simulator

[stiff inlet]

you went to dartmouth?

[edgy violet]

Yeah

[craggy ember]

the more and more i hear about dartmouth the more i wish i had known and written about it

it really feels like the perfect college

[torpid valley]

same

[deft quartz]

i wrote my favorite college essay for dartmouth

for the "think and wonder, wonder and think" prompt, i gave my best attempt at writing in a dr. seuss rhyme scheme

[torpid valley]

my college essays were too formal i think

[deft quartz]

anapestic tetrameter

reading over my essays again, i can find a bunch of silly mistakes like using the same word twice in one sentence or some slight carelessness

let's hope admissions doesn't discount those mistakes too greatly

[torpid valley]

dude i found that i used the wrong word in my fucking personal essay

not the wrong word tbh

just feels weird in the context because it's repeated

i wanna reject my life

[deft quartz]

i made a repeated error in my personal essay too, only noticed it after i submitted it to the majority of the colleges i was applying to

[grave knot]

darmouth you better pull through

my top choice

[torpid valley]

dude if i don't get any ivy i'm so fucked

and i know i'm not getting any ivy

i'm so fucked

[torpid valley]

!dartmouth

[viral totem]

Happy to help, and I hope I'll see you all in fall!

Good luck everyone!

[vivid mountain]

[torpid valley]

i wish i had this confidence I'm ngl

[deft quartz]

yall i think i am going to explode in anticipation

🙏

even though i have like no realistic chance of getting in

[torpid valley]

DUDE US

[violet cradle]

I just wanna open a letter regardless of whether or not I get accepted

They are so fun to open

[deft quartz]

It’s much more fun to open a good letter wtf you talking about

[violet cradle]

True true lmao

[stoic plover]

No email gang wya

[raven wave]

email about what omg

[torpid valley]

i think that means we're in no email gang

[zinc summit]

what email?

[stoic plover]

You know. The thing fishes take the aid of in swimming... fin(s)

[zinc summit]

no email= rejection?

[raven wave]

ah no but I didn't for any of the schools I have got into so far so i would take it with a grain of salt

[stoic plover]

For int'ls, yea

[torpid valley]

hi im an intl

i'm also gonna be a rejection

[rapid lagoon]

what does the email look like😦

[stoic plover]

Us

[stoic plover]

I can dm. Mods are weird here

[torpid valley]

dm to me too

[rapid lagoon]

sure

[raven wave]

me pls

[stoic plover]

ayyo. Aight. I'll send a copy pasta to y'all

[burnt lake]

this is not true; some people on reddit got in without the email
also portal spec isnt allowed

[stoic plover]

I never said anything about portal astro...

[torpid valley]

not to be confused with astrology portals, which is a completely different scam

[zinc summit]

they got in ED?

[maiden breach]

I doubt email has anything to do with acceptance either

[torpid holly]

guys I only got in to colleges with green being the main color

does this mean I would be accepted to Dartmouth?

[maiden breach]

We shall see tonight

[torpid holly]

I hope to snap the 15 straight rejections streak 😭😭

[maiden breach]

I'm sorry 😭 😭 😭

Good luck!!!

[deft quartz]

so far i've only gotten into catholic colleges

based on this trend, it isn't looking good

[rapid lagoon]

7 rejections 7 waitlists my 5 acceptances will be cancelled out

it all cancels out😍😍😍

the universe will balance

pls help me i am getting more delusional 😭😭😭

[unborn wedge]

i only applied to dartmouth and cornell and i regret the cornell

[maiden breach]

It doesn't matter how many schools u get into; you can only commit to 1

And if you're accepted to 1 you're going to be fine

[rapid lagoon]

i agree with that sentiment ‼️

[maiden breach]

Study has shown that ppl who apply to top schools but didn't get in eventually end up with similar salaries/success than those who get in

[jagged frigate]

Dartmouth is the only ivy i decided to apply for 😭

[golden knoll]

I got the email ill lyk if I get accepted

[maiden breach]

Bc just by applying and caring it shows that you have the right mindset if that makes sense

[golden knoll]

gotta add to the sample somehow

[unborn wedge]

5 hour 23 minutesssssss

[jagged frigate]

Do you think getting into an ivy automatically is better than any other college? like no matter your major?

[maiden breach]

Good luck!

[unborn wedge]

oxford is better

[maiden breach]

No

[golden knoll]

no

[unborn wedge]

mit

stanford

[golden knoll]

Duke

all not ivys

CMU

GT

[unborn wedge]

caltech

[golden knoll]

depending on ur major some schools are better than ivys

They just don’t contain the prestige

[maiden breach]

Depending on the subject many other schools may be more fit, like MIT for stem

[torpid holly]

Ball State is the best fr

[jagged frigate]

i mean as someone who didnt apply to any top colleges such as those

[golden knoll]

Columbia

college Chicago

[jagged frigate]

rn my top ones are neu and bu

[maiden breach]

Plus a lot of those small liberal art colleges have better access to research & smaller classes

[unborn wedge]

tbh berkeley has higher prestige than brown

[maiden breach]

State schools r cheaper

[golden knoll]

idk not really prestige

just hella people wanna go there

cause cali and parties

[unborn wedge]

more people know berkeley as a top institution

[maiden breach]

Prestige also varies on where u survey

[torpid holly]

What even is prestige 💀

[unborn wedge]

internationally

[golden knoll]

Prestige is like

[maiden breach]

There's an international prestige list

[unborn wedge]

job attractiveness imo

[golden knoll]

How well recognized

Your sxhool is

[maiden breach]

And Dartmouth is 200+

[torpid holly]

I applied to Dartmouth bc it's need blind

[grave knot]

speaking of prestige, here's something I thought could help:
#1053255663561740379 message

[unborn wedge]

like i wanna go into finance and if you dont get into a 'prestigious' uni it's harder to get placements

[golden knoll]

It’s fs gonna be a touch grass

thing

[grave knot]

i applied to dartmouth bc its dartmouth and i want it

[unborn wedge]

same

[deft quartz]

i've already decided i'm going to the ivy league for school at either undergrad or grad level. they might as well just make it easy and let me in now

[golden knoll]

ye but any of the ivys have enough prestige to land you in finance

[unborn wedge]

did you get interviewed

[golden knoll]

But there are some more than others

[unborn wedge]

that's why i applied

[golden knoll]

For ex Cornell Dyson and Penn Wharton

[unborn wedge]

and harvard ofc

[golden knoll]

Ye Harvard nd Yale

MIT Sloan

[unborn wedge]

tuck too

[maiden breach]

^ there's always grad school

[jagged frigate]

I was surprised to get into need-aware insitutions, I need basically all my expenses covered with my financial aid

[maiden breach]

Congrats!

[jagged frigate]

dartmouth being need blind is helpful fs

[unborn wedge]

one of the reasons i applied

main

[torpid holly]

Where did you get into?

[unborn wedge]

im int so i cant even get student loans

[jagged frigate]

BU, NEU, and NYU are the top ones I got into

[maiden breach]

Dartmouth doesn't give loans I think

[jagged frigate]

nyu is need blind tho i think?

not sure

[grave knot]

idts

[silent fjord]

For domestic only

[jagged frigate]

im from boston so im rejecting nyu anyway 😭

wanna stay here tbh
