I mean, I'd expect it to go down from last year as more internnationals shotgun for that sweet sweet aid

#

isn't that just harvard

gentle wedge
#

nah its northeastern, but the thread trolls the name as that

unborn gyro
#

oh LOL

#

nice

gentle wedge
#

we're sorta close to harvard so thats why its funny to put it in as a joke hopefully people dont take it too seriously

man my friend's deferral ruined my mood so bad

#

my friend got rejected from duke

#

what's up with darty this year

gentle wedge
#

#

i think darty may be actually releasing at 4:00

#

for acceptance

#

I got deferred and I wonder if Darty defer most their ED applicants or do I stand a chance?

i got deferred...

Poor '28ers

I got in!

viral river
#

do you know the rough deferral rate for Darty?

stark lark
#

not more harsh. Defering more people isn't harsh. Those are people who would be rejected

unborn gyro

#

Director of Admissions Paul Sunde: “Our defer figure is 32% and our deny figure is 39%. Both are rounded.”

#

idk if thats right or not but

gentle wedge
#

that means its prob super low

#

are they the type of school to defer most their apps or do they actually think we have a chance in RD

ok so they didnt terminate class of 2028

idle dew
#

this is lowkey depressing💀

stark lark
#

I'm waiting for the press release. Lots more info then

#

increase in applicants?

#

i dunno yet. Feels like it, but there's not data so far

#

they did really late last year

unborn gyro
#

what is an advocacy call??

gritty berry
#

What is the deferral percentage?

stark lark
#

those are the big ones. Ideally your LOCI should have some kind of update

stark lark

#

i will try to get you guys these statistics, although i don't think they're released yet

stark lark
#

waiting on the pres release

idle dew
#

when’s that

lowkey insane dude

#

the duke chat was so crazy yesterday

#

so lol in Bangladesh I couldn't even access to their portal,

Used VPN to get access and seen rejection after long moment meltingsob

#

Congrats all!

gritty berry
dire lantern
#

can somebody excite me about dartmouth

#

what's the air like there

#

what's the avg student

#

overall culture

#

etc.

#

when i applied to brown i had a sense of what the key opportunities were and how they tie into the overarching culture

#

i.e. the open curriculum, satisfactory/no credit for all courses, extensive study abroad program, etc. all feed into the culture of absolute curiosity and exploration of what's interesting, and the general student body is very supportive and open

#

but idk what dartmouth looks like

#

i know it's really close to nature and that the d-plan dictates a lot of the schedule but i odn't know much else

stark lark
#

People who are really passionate and involved. Strong interdisciplinary interests,

trim verge
#

is it advisable to apply test optional?

stark lark
#

are your scores bad?

stark lark
dire lantern
#

i see

#

if you could distill dartmouth's mission to 1-2 sentences, what would you say it is?

stark lark
#

Educate and inspirite future leaders to make a difference in whatever field they go into

#

I mean, they've kind of done it already 😄

#

Our Mission
Dartmouth educates the most promising students and prepares them for a lifetime of learning and of responsible leadership through a faculty dedicated to teaching and the creation of knowledge.

dire lantern
#

oh mb thx i am truly one of the googling-deficient students of all time

#

💀

#

hmmm

stark lark
#

PEople are high achievers, but the environment is collaborative. Even in my premed classes people worked together

dire lantern
#

do you have stories illustrating this sort of thing

#

e.g. when i toured brown the guide told me a story about how she failed her first orgo exam and had a breakdown

#

and the immediate reaction from the class was to comfort her and invite her to study groups

idle dew
#

aight it’s time to start prepping my Tuck application 4 years in advance

#

no

stark lark
#

not really

Any other quetions? More specific is more helpful

#

gusty ivy
#

how bad were dartmouth results?

earnest pelican
#

Dartmouth so fire congrats to anyone who got in

dire lantern
# stark lark Any other quetions? More specific is more helpful

how do book/video game/generally staying inside-oriented people thrive at dartmouth? the impression i have is that it seems very outdoorsy and the people there seem fairly outgoing. would an introvert who prefers to study and hang out with friends playing games or talking about books excel?
additionally, if you have any knowledge of the math department at dartmouth, are there any super notable things that you would say about it? i see they have an honors program and stuff, but are there opportunities specific to dartmouth that you would say are very hard to find elsewhere?

idle dew
#

if you get in you should take “video games and the meaning of life”

#

cool ass course🔥🙈

dire lantern
#

wait WHAT

#

THAT'S SO COOL HOLY

#

😭

stark lark
#

People definitely do tht too. Two of the greek houses defintiely have a more nerdy vibe.

Big one is that courses are taught by profesors. I feel like math is one of the most common departments to have non-PhD lecturers

#

I think Dartmouth also has some really strong topology courses

dire lantern
#

im tryna fall in love with dartmouth rn

#

🤨

#

i can't write college essays unless i genuinely feel a love for the school

How do you submit peer reccomendation?

#

Just through the common app or will there be an option on the portal

opaque moth
#

I did it through common app

#

u invite ur friend's email

#

they make a recommender account

#

and submit rec

modern ruin
#

And they can do that after i press submit?

opaque moth
#

Yes

dire lantern
#

is dartmouth competitive

#

like

#

e.g. johns hopkins has a reputation for being cutthroat while brown has a reputation for being very laid-back

opaque moth
#

very laid back

#

extremely collaborative

#

profs encourage it a lot (except for like take-home midterm/final)

dire lantern
#

nice

granite ether

imma eat darts if i get in here

instant acceptance

stark lark

Agreed with Rai-Ching

opaque bronze
#

wait this is goated, thank you so much

dire lantern
#

do you need peer recommendation

#

and also is it this thing

stark lark
#

Need? No. But you should get someone to do one.

You do not need an "other recommender"

#

but they can submit it via commonapp using that area

dire lantern
#

ok thx

dire lantern
#

im ngl i was planning on shotgunning to 20 schools

but im too late

planning on pouring in most of what i have into the dartmouth application

#

alright time to open up that ivyhub dartmouth page

#

i've researched enough to the point where i care about getting into the school now

#

so it's going to hurt if i don't get in carljoy

trim verge
#

there’s an ivyhub dartmouth page?

dire lantern
#

yeah

#

btw

#

for prompt 3

#

one of the selections is this; “It’s not easy being green…” was the frequent refrain of Kermit the Frog. How has difference been a part of your life, and how have you embraced it as part of your identity and outlook?

#

is it a fundamentally losing strategy to say "i'm not unique and it's led me to xyz insights"

#

do you have to take the essay prompt head-on or can you wrangle it and answer it backward like that

deft veldt
#

ok guys

#

test optional was a whole lie for darty lol

#

should have listened to that podcast before ED1ing to darty

#

could have use it wisely for vanderbilt 😦

#

yale and dartmouth are not truly test optional

multiple if I'm honest

dire lantern

that's only if i can get in

#

cart before the horse moment

#

idk

#

have to shoot my shot and hope

#

the other option is to just give up on trying to get in

#

which is uh

#

one could say it yields a lower chance of getting to experience dartmouth

wai t what

in the future though i think it’ll slowly get less SAT heavy

I have some ideas but I fear they’ll just sound like some one else

tender sinew
#

Thats fine

#

Everything youve written about someone else probably has as well

#

Thats why its holistic

torn root
#

right

tender sinew
#

As long as u dont resume dump

#

You should be fine

torn root
#

gotcha

opaque moth
#

I think that u should choose a few things and focus on it, instead a scattered list of personality. Like I chose a few of my academic interests and explained why I'm interested in pursuing them, but those few things can be anything ur passionate about or u can fit any other well written essay there since "introduce yourself" is very broad

torn root
#

Or should it be one you focus on

#

@opaque moth could I dm you some of my ideas and get your thoughts?

opaque moth
# torn root you think it should a lot of interests in the essay?

Like if ur the AO and u read a list of hobbies, interests, pop culture, etc you'll end up not taking away a ton. But if the applicant really dives in a few core things (doesn't have to be one, but ideally under 3) that they're passionate about and explains why and how it's part of their identity, it's much more memorable. However if u want to scatter a lot of small things within the few main threads u can if that makes sense

How to Write a Great Peer Recommendation

If your friend asks you to write a peer recommendation, how exactly do you do it? Here's a step by step guide on writing a strong peer recommendation for schools like Dartmouth and Davidson.

Complete Guide to Peer Recommendations

Need a peer recommendation? Read our complete guide to Davidson and Dartmouth peer recommendations to figure out who you should ask and how they should write your letter.

CollegeVine Blog
Peer Letter of Recommendation: Everything You Need to Know

What is the peer rec letter, and how important is it? Who should you ask to write one? Here's a complete guide to this unusual requirement.

#

My college counselor also gave me these guiding questions for peer rec:

  • Why are we friends, why do we connect
  • This is why you brings out the best in me, why do I bring out the best of you
  • Why do I believe you’re going to thrive at Dartmouth & inspire those around you
  • Character, why you’re a good person

quesiton to any darty people, I love collecting mechanical pencils and I want to in the future design my own mechanical pencil. I am writting abt this for one of the supps and wanted to know like any specific 3D design stuff at darty that can help me do this or that I can be apart of

#

I tried searching online but didnt find a whole lot

stark lark

thayer ha whatever kind of design and prototyping sutff you could imagine

#

I would assume

I don't think it is a good use of works to say that "I would use thayer's plasticizer 3000 and the super awesome other thing to deesign and manufacture the best pencil"

no need to be that specfic

are you allowed to?

idk if the rights thing applies to the peer one but that doesnt stop you from reading anything

idk

#

man of honor fr

earnest pelican
#

its def not tho

#

theres no rules against reading any letters of rec

dire lantern
#

ferpa waiver?

#

i agreed i wouldn't in the waiver so i won't

#

the only one that i read was my community service site founder's bc bro accidentally sent it to me instead of directly to the common app

#

💀

#

so i figured no harm no foul more to be done at that point

earnest pelican
brazen drift
#

When do we need to submit LOCIs by?

earnest pelican
#

that just means u waive ur right to see it

#

if they dont wanna show u they dont have to

#

if ur teacher was okay with showing it to you that would be totally within the rules

i havent sent my sat score to them through college boad

im pretty sure schools remove it from the pdf bcs some students have a score on their common app but choose not to report it, so the schools dont want AOs to see those scores

Dplan is the real magic

turbid heron

Based on what the magazine said I’m still a little confused

#

It’s like modifying your schedule with a new thing every quarter? Or?

stark lark
#

well in college you always take different courses each term

#

the dplan lets you move WHEN you take classes. So you have to take classes sophomore summer, so now you get ot take... junior winter off for an itnership for eample

#

@stark lark hey you said you did some kind of work in global health right?

Dartmouth seems to have some fun global health programs. BUT something that leaves me hesitant is that they don’t seem to have any programming for Vector Biology/Medical Entomology. That makes me a little hesitant to consider applying.

Did what you used to do have any relevance to the fields I’m talking about? Was it at Dartmouth?

stark lark
#

Most undergrad programs won't have anything liek that. As we've discussed that is like two graudate degree territory

#

There is an MPH program, which I believe you may be able eto take a classs or two in

#

Anthropology also has a global health minor

#

There are lots of global health clubs. I was part of one called Dartmouth Ends Hunger, but in a subset of it that was focused on AIDS education in southern Africa

marble charm
#

Yale, Cornell, UPenn, sortve Vanderbilt, sortve UChicago, Hopkins, URichmond, Virginia Tech, Penn State, and UMD all have Vector biology courses

If it's helpful for anyone here the questions I got (though it was mostly just a normal conversation):

  • Why dartmouth
  • Tell me your story (to start)
  • What have you done to explore your passion

oh nice, older guy

#

right before co-education

spice jungle

yeah he said apparently during that time cuz of protest around the war in vietnam dartmouth allowed students to go and fulfill their credits for a year or sem by going out in the world and making a meaningful impact in some way.
thought that was a super interesting piece of lore

and/or insights

Just sit back, be yourself, and be prepared to discuss questions about yourself, your past experiences, and Dartmouth

When I applied, I simply prepared a couple of "default questions" (why us, why major...) and built off of the answers I had prepared during the interview
