Dartmouth College (2023-2024)

[gritty berry]

also pretty laid back environment to go after a stressful day of school

[junior summit]

biggreen can i dm

[stark lark]

I wouldn't mention a specific house

many greek houses have those things, so feel free to highlight those draws of greek life

[stark lark]

i'd rather discuss here, but if you must

[junior summit]

its totally fine if its not possible tho

[gritty berry]

good idea thx

[junior summit]

Just had my interview. What they asked me (for those who need it) were:

1. where are you from, where do you study, 3rd culture kid questions
2. why Dartmouth
3. any questions about Dartmouth

Pretty short, but loved the experience

Super stressed throughout tho lmao

[burnt grove]

damn i haven't researched why dartmouth

[elfin juniper]

yo my interviewer hasnt responded to my email for 5 days and I asked them if they could do it this saturday. should I email them again or wait until tommorow 😭

[dire lantern]

what

didnt u apply

💀

[gritty berry]

i'm boutta go big green with my interview tomorrow now 🥱 🌲 🌲

[upbeat sleet]

Where do you find your application id

[dull mist]

I think u better email ngl

[junior summit]

they might have forgotten, email em

[stray fjord]

my Dartmouth interviewer texted me and i viewed it right after and i didn’t have read receipts turned off

[strange spire]

hi! i'm a junior and really interesting in dartmouth- i have a bunch of questions so is there anyone i could dm? or should i send them all here

[stark lark]

go for it here

you'll get more perspectives

[last halo]

can I bring a notebook full of questions to ask during my in person interview

[stark lark]

that sounds like too many perhaps?

I think a sheet with a few is fine

[last halo]

oh sorry i worded it wrong

can i bring a notebook

that has my questions

[stark lark]

sure

[last halo]

👌

[strange spire]

How much does dartmouth care about gpa or stats in general?
How much do they care about academic talent and displays of it? Relative to how much they care about creativity?
How do I demonstrate "fit" for dartmouth?

[stark lark]

Strong academics are essential.

Your fit comes through in essays, interview

[strange spire]

is there anything they particularly like in an application?

and how much do they care about olympiads?

[stark lark]

I can't say for sure. My opinion on them isn't great

[gritty berry]

had my interview

went great

me and the interviewer really vibed

[stark lark]

Awesome

I so dearly miss doing them

[strange spire]

hi sorry my comprehension is gone right now, do you mean that they don't like olympiads or your opinion wouldn't hold much weight?

[stark lark]

I don't know what they think of them. I personally don't tihnk they are as great as people here do

your transcript shows you are strong at math or science. They haveno leadership and no impact

[strange spire]

ah i see, that makes sense

[dire lantern]

i have an opinion that’s worth about as much as you paid for it

but olympiads are good

however

there r ppl who unironically just grind olympiads

and that’s great but like

amass a wealth of experience

in life

like as much as a seventeen-year-old can

work a job, volunteer somewhere, have fun, etc.

the second aspect is to actually know why you’re applying

other than the fact that the school is cracked

if you’re not interested you’ll sound disinterested

that’s unironically more or less all you need for the writing

be a real whole human that doesnt just afk grind olympiads (im not accusing u of being one of those ppl) and have a well-developed idea of why you’re applying

[strange spire]

:o this is really insightful

[dire lantern]

this is, of course, really generic advice

[strange spire]

i wish i had the talent to afk grind olympiads

[dire lantern]

dont it’s cringe

mfs r soulless bots

[strange spire]

but the proportion of olympiad kids to general t20 kids is wild at my school so i thought they were really prestigious

[dire lantern]

they are

def

but most olympiad grinders are also psycho tryhards in diff ways so

lawl

personally i have like 1 decent ec and that’s it

so if this whole thing goes well for me

it’d be funny

do you havw something you love

[strange spire]

parents had me enrolled in chinese version of aops at 4 😭

[strange spire]

a lot of things im interested in, or passionate about but i don't think i have something i can say i "love"

[dire lantern]

ye idk i was a fucking kumon grinder lmfao

my parents finally let me wuit in like first or second grade when it got to a point where i’d be crying every time i did the hw and they had to yell at me to do it

💀💀💀💀

it

certainly helped a lot

i was cracked at it

[strange spire]

its traumatizing but also character building

[dire lantern]

but like idk if i would do it again

that shit did not build my character

but i factorized a trinomial faster when i was six than i do now

💀

[strange spire]

💀

[dire lantern]

life was diff back then

now i am hardstuck

peak at six years of age

dont be like me fr

[strange spire]

i think i peaked when i was 8

[dire lantern]

gg

[strange spire]

its jover

[dire lantern]

u beat me by two years wp

it’s brover for me

[strange spire]

thx

[dire lantern]

brown dont want me

brover

[strange spire]

i j realized battle cats pfp

banger

[dire lantern]

fr

ty

🐈

[stark lark]

yeah, this is probably more the issue.

[dire lantern]

ye

some of those ppl legit arent real lmfao

[strange spire]

does applying as a major vs undecided matter at all for admissions?

the 2 majors i want to do are 2 of the most popular majors at dartmouth and idk if that's advantageous or disadventageous

[stark lark]

Dartmouth doesn't admit by major

[strange spire]

schools not admitting by major seems so unbelievable to me even tho it makes sense and is true

[stark lark]

yo can't declare until your 5th term

[strange spire]

ohh okay

[stark lark]

They expect that people will change and adapt their interests

[noble condor]

my interviewer was so nice 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[oak sun]

Waiting for Dartmouth interview I want it so bad

[noble condor]

gave me a lot of info on dartmouth too

[noble condor]

IT WAS GREAT

SHE GOT ME BOBA TOO

[oak sun]

wow

When did they reach out? @noble condor

[noble condor]

jan 8

i submitted the day of the deadline for dartmouth too 😭

[oak sun]

ME TOO

smh

[noble condor]

but shes very close in my area

[oak sun]

ah ok

I haven't had a single in person college interview no one is close to me lol

[noble condor]

we met up somewhere like 15 mins from my place

[noble condor]

NAURRR

this might be my only one idk 💀

[oak sun]

naur indeed

[noble condor]

in person>>>>

[oak sun]

I can rizz someone up in person but virtually is just not the same

[noble condor]

felt like we could connect more

[noble condor]

REAL

im trynna look in their eyes but i have to look at the camera for that 💀

[oak sun]

I think it's because you can't make direct eye contact virtually

omg twins

[noble condor]

REAL

the way i could tell my interviewer was tryimg to do the same

[oak sun]

like i'm looking at the screen to see their face but then i look at me and my head is like titled down at a 90 degree angle

[noble condor]

we were both basically side eyeing each ofher

[noble condor]

LMFAO

bros looking at the floor

shy vibes

[oak sun]

FR

i also feel kinda dumb getting dressed in a suit just to sit in my office chair for an hour

[noble condor]

U DRESSED IN A SUIT

[oak sun]

i will

[noble condor]

i wore turtleneck

and jeans

[oak sun]

i feel like dartmouth isn't preppy vibes so maybe not

but for like yale and princeton i intend on wearing a suit

i wore a suit for my jefferson scholarship interview and i'm a finalist so it's my lucky interview suit now

[noble condor]

princeton i wore a turtleneck 💀

[noble condor]

WWW

[stray fjord]

my dartmouth interviewer only gave me her first name how am i supposed to linkedin stalk her

[noble condor]

i had princeton a couple hours before dartmouth

[oak sun]

BRO

I found my interviewer on LinkedIn just to get an idea of what he was interested in/majored in and I thought I found him went to Princeton and everything... but the guy on linkedin is class of 2014 but my interviewer just emailed me and he has '97 next to his name

[noble condor]

LMFAO DO U NOT HAVE EMAIL

[oak sun]

idk what's real or not real

[stray fjord]

lmao thats so funny like imagine he showed up looking completely different than what you thought

[stray fjord]

she texted me 😭

[oak sun]

texted?? tf

[stray fjord]

ikr

and she used smiley face emoticon

[noble condor]

help 😭😭

LMFAO

[oak sun]

LMAO THATS AMAZING

[noble condor]

like this : )

??

[stray fjord]

yeah like :)

[noble condor]

what a queen

i just found my interviewer

[stray fjord]

ikr she just graduated so hopefully shes chill

[noble condor]

she went to harbard business school

what the freak

[stray fjord]

oh damn

[noble condor]

thats what im saying 😭

[turbid heron]

just had my interview

2 hours long

did so well

[oak sun]

nice!

[turbid heron]

we started talking about the alcoholic stereotype lol

and i quote “these people drink hella bro”

[oak sun]

LMAO

[turbid heron]

so much easier having a young interviewer than an old one

[dire lantern]

based

[noble condor]

tf we talked about percy jackson vs harry potter

[stark lark]

this is not most people's impression. 😄

[noble condor]

i just thought interviews were more of a business casual type thing

[tight bloom]

I didn't talk about anything academic for my essays for dartmouth

but I think what I wrote about was very original and strong so will they ask about academic pursuits and intrests in the interview?

Im an athlete and I wanna do smth in sports medicine

[stark lark]

your interviewer doesn't know anything about your app

[tight bloom]

oh ok

[oak sun]

I feel like Dartmouth gives more small community vibes than preppy vibes. I guess one could be the other

[tight bloom]

I took a gamble with not writting abt smth academic but oh well

[stark lark]

Yeah, can easily be both

[stark lark]

What sport?

[tight bloom]

running

cross country track

[stark lark]

Awesome

[tight bloom]

ive been big on human movement and sports medicine bc ive been doing sports all my life and I've also been injured

in running

so its like a athlete-medicine connection type deal

I wrote all about it in other college supplements but I didnt use it for dartmouth

[carmine parcel]

for those who have been interviewed, do dartmouth interviewers have access to your file? as in, do they know some of your background (like EC's or essays)

[dire lantern]

no

interviewers never have access to your file

[stark lark]

No

[dire lantern]

this is true for every school i know of

[stark lark]

they get your name, phone, school, email

[dire lantern]

they know whatever you tell them

[carmine parcel]

ah, i see

[dire lantern]

so walk in and make completely fraudulent claims fr

(joke.)

[carmine parcel]

😉

[robust heath]

no they don't

also know that there is a hard 40-minute time limit for your interview

[stark lark]

That is not true...

[robust heath]

i got cut-off

Mine had a 40-min time limit

[stark lark]

Oh your interviewer was using free zoom

that's why

[robust heath]

Oh ok

We just called afterwards

[stark lark]

yeah, that's your interviewer

not Dartmouth

[robust heath]

Oh that makes sense tho I see

Ok

[turbid heron]

me with 2 hour long interview

[oak sun]

what

[prisma holly]

GUYS IM BOUT TO HAVE AN INTERVIEW

any acceptance got advice on the ques?

[stark lark]

there isn't a fixed battery

just be yhou. Show your passions

show your fit

[prisma holly]

I ONLY GOT 38m interviewer

interview

is that a bad sign

its not right

[junior summit]

Everyones is under 45 chill

[stark lark]

no that's fine

[stark lark]

not true, but also not the point

[junior summit]

Uhhh my interviewer mentioned that tho?

[stark lark]

That is potentially their target, but plenty of interviews go over it

[junior summit]

Also read it in Ptons document

[junior summit]

True, but not online ones

[stark lark]

Plenty of online ones do too

[junior summit]

Since they can measure it through the zoom meeting

[junior summit]

Oh alri

[prisma holly]

but bruh i saw someone got 2h interview

[stark lark]

My target was always about 45 min, but I've had up to 90

[junior summit]

Is that bad then? Having the recommended?

[prisma holly]

on zoom?

[stark lark]

Yes

[junior summit]

Did they not like us or smthn along those lines?

[stark lark]

No. You're fine

[prisma holly]

they said i did was good

[stark lark]

45min is a totally normal length

[prisma holly]

or my english was bad lol

[stark lark]

or 38 or whatever

[prisma holly]

38m is too short smh

they told me that the ques for me should be 20m

[stark lark]

they likely said that they would leave 20 min, it's fine not to have 20min of questions

[junior summit]

Ok, say we reached the point of Dartys drinking culture, is that a red flag

[stark lark]

You're fine, stop worrying about it

[stark lark]

what about it?

[prisma holly]

in 90m like how many mins are the ques for u not u asking them

[junior summit]

He was reassuring me that it isn't like it says online

I didn't specifically ask for that

[prisma holly]

DAMN I ALSO ACCIDENTALLY SAID THAT I WANTED TO ATTEND TUCK

[stark lark]

I aim for more of a conversation than interrogation. But longer ones generally have more questions from the applicant

[junior summit]

He said the uni distanced itself from the greek culture

[prisma holly]

and i came to realize it's only for grad

[stark lark]

then it has no bearing on your interview

[junior summit]

And then when I asked him bout the newspapers, he went quiet again

[stark lark]

well that isn't ideal...

[junior summit]

I did ask: "is that because of the drinking culture" in the flow of conversation

[prisma holly]

ik did i mess it up

[stark lark]

but isn't the end of the world. Tuck does offer a few UG classes

[junior summit]

But it was casual

[prisma holly]

but im intl stu

[junior summit]

And had demonstrated interest before that

[stark lark]

this is fine

[prisma holly]

he did correct me afterwards

[junior summit]

He didn't seem to note it either

[prisma holly]

i was scared

[stark lark]

One thing I did in my interiews that I wish more people did in ensure that your questions won't be ussed against you. Ask about drinking or whatever. I won't mention it in my report

I want you to get the real information you ned

[prisma holly]

omg im getting stressed

guys he turned offf the zoom so quickly

is that normal

[stark lark]

stop

[prisma holly]

is that okay im asking fr

[stark lark]

who knows

you're focusing on things that don't matter

[prisma holly]

yeh ig im just oversensitive tho

how can i improve the next interview guys

[stark lark]

we don't know anything about this one. From all accounts you did fine

[prisma holly]

damn i want to get in

[prisma holly]

MINE HAD

[stark lark]

No

[prisma holly]

they actually had im telling u

[stark lark]

As someone who has assigned interviews and done over 100. They do not have access to it

[prisma holly]

what

ur an alumni?

[stark lark]

yes

[prisma holly]

no but some of them know right?

i swear

[stark lark]

no

[prisma holly]

i saw people getting accepted to 5 ivies told that u shouldn't mention things in ur app and try to tell sth outside that u didnt get a chance to write in

so that means they had ur app and read it

[stark lark]

They do not

and i'm not sure why what you said, which isn't bad advice means that they do

[prisma holly]

but do they know ur intended major

[stark lark]

I think so. The emails of my past assignments didn't have it, but it is possible it was in the interview report site

[prisma holly]

damn but i know the interviewer before the interview so he knew sth

[stark lark]

ok that is different

[prisma holly]

no cause we went to same highschool

[stark lark]

right, so if they know about you it is from knowing you, not your app

[prisma holly]

omg all my ivies interviews are with the person share the same nationality w me

i felt awkward

[stark lark]

is that shocking?

[last halo]

Interview went great

It was a little bit over 1 hour

Why did no one tell me how hard and awkward it is when ending and leaving the in person interview 😭

I literally mentioned that I have to take the chicken out of the freezer when I get home

And I said drive safe like 4 times

[turbid heron]

me lol

[dire lantern]

mfs dont go

mental

over random things

it's literally portal astrology level stuff

unless your interviewer obviously disliked you you're probably ok ngl

unless u were like lowkey acting like a paid actor it was probably ok

[elfin juniper]

same my interview almost went for 2 hours

[oak sun]

Dartmouth interview secured

I got a Dartmouth senior interview what does that mean?

[sonic epoch]

Seniors can interview for Dartmouth

[oak sun]

confused lol

thought it was only for international

[buoyant dawn]

interview in 1 hour :O

[oak sun]

GOOD LUCK

[stray token]

dartmouth offers interviews?

also does anyone know when the dartmouth peer rec was due

[stray fjord]

january 12

[stark lark]

yes

[stray token]

if your peer submitted it on january 14th, is it fine

[stray fjord]

yeah probably

[delicate parrot]

Yes it does

[nova canopy]

any interview tips i should know??

[leaden pewter]

don't be too formal

but not too manic

[modern ruin]

I still havent gotten an interview:(

[burnt grove]

me too 😦

[stark lark]

That's fine, you may never get one

[oak sun]

Out here crushing dreams

[normal compass]

It’s fine. It’s the second year I’m applying and last year I got an interview invitation on Valentine’s Day.

Don’t worry too much really!

[silk hedge]

my darty interviewer wants to meet at a pizza place at 5pm LMFOJOFSFJDGODFJGLK

fnaf fr

[frank hemlock]

guys, does Dartmouth assign a student ID to its prospective students?

i've been searching for my application ID in my applicant portal for a good hour and couldn't find it

[tender zephyr]

I dont think o

[spice jungle]

thats hype

i went to mine at a pub lmao

[stray fjord]

what 💀

[spice jungle]

well restaurant at a pub

it was a W

[stray crater]

Should I follow up on my interviewer if he still hasn't responded back since the 10th

[stark lark]

yes

[stray crater]

Because I chose the option to do it over a zoom call which says that he will try pairing me with an alumnus and that these zoom interviews are through mid-February

[oak sun]

My dartmouth zoom interview is supposed to be tdoay at 6:00-6:30

Been in the meeting room since 5:53 nobody yet

But he's a senior, so probably just running late on classe or something

[stark lark]

you're early...

I wouldn't be there at 5:50 for a 6pm call

becaue then it would be a 5:50 call

[oak sun]

Yuh interview etiquette to show up at least 5-10 minutes early

[gentle iron]

not when its on zoom 😭

just show up exactly at 6

[stark lark]

yes, but not to expect them to be there early too

[oak sun]

yes ik

it's 6:06 now; just talking to fill the time lol

meh i've shown up early to all of my other zoom interviews usually 5 minutes or so and they've all been there and thanked me for being early so I just kept going with it

[gentle iron]

i usually show up 1-2 min early

they dont end up joining till the given time anyways

[oak sun]

At what point should I email him to confirm there hasn't been any changes? I was thinking 6:30

[gentle iron]

6:10 prob

[stark lark]

yeah, 6:15?

[oak sun]

Okie dokie

Thank you

[agile bloom]

sorry im sure this is something i could look up but are dartmouth interviews still evaluative?

[oak sun]

yes

[agile bloom]

lets go

except i still have not been offered one yet

[oak sun]

I was wondering why I got offered a senior interview. I just looked at my interviewers LinkedIn and realized he is literally from where I am from

[stark lark]

That could be part of it. My generaly advice is "Don't read into things"

[oak sun]

Yeah for sure good advice

I just think there are no alumni in my area at all so they went with a senior who came from my area instead

[agile bloom]

Do you guys know when the last interviews would be offered?

[stark lark]

late feb?

[agile bloom]

I know I shouldn't be concerned just yet but I figured I would hear within the next month

[oak sun]

I am (in my opinion) pretty sure that most of these colleges can go to late Feb-early March

[agile bloom]

Ah yeah thats what I assumed

I got my interview at my REA school like 15 days before the decision was released so lol

[stark lark]

My last year interviewing (or maybe second last) I got some ED assignments the week of thanksgiving when the deadline was the next week

[oak sun]

Oh you're an interviewr? That's cool I didn't know lol

[stark lark]

basically people they didn't have locals to cover and I had signed up to step up in areas they needed it

I used to be, I can't with my job now

[oak sun]

Ah ok

If you don't mind me asking, where did you interview for?

[agile bloom]

that's interesting they conduct evaluative interviews so close to the decision release

i guess interviews are not a huge deciding factor but still

[oak sun]

I've seen you in all kinds of chats, but you seem mostly active in Dartmouth so perhaps Dartmouth lol

[stark lark]

Dartmouth....

[oak sun]

oh lol

That's cool

Don't ... me smh I thought so but I wasn't sure

How long of no response should I stay in the Zoom waiting room?

[agile bloom]

635

[stark lark]

no longer than 6:30

honestly, you could dip now

[oak sun]

Yeah

I was excited for this interview though

Dartmouth is one of my top choices, I really like their environment and campus smh

[agile bloom]

dont lose hope

didnt he say between 6 and 630

maybe he will join right at 629

[oak sun]

I didn't get that feeling from how he worded it. He said for a 30-minute interview and he said the best time slot that would for him today would be 6:00-6:30 PM and the invitation says start at 6:00

But hopefully he will reschedule

Probably just busy

[agile bloom]

ohhh okay yeah then

[oak sun]

got caught in a lecture or lab or something maybe

Welp I have left

Hopefully he gets back to me soon

[oak sun]

Just to cover my bases, if for some reason he ghosts me (which is highly unlikely) would I need to contact someone after a certain timeframe in admissions?

@stark lark

[stark lark]

you could, but likely there isn't oging to be much recourse

def email to check in for later

[oak sun]

Okay

When emailed my interviewer I said if he needs to reschedule just to let me know and I’m free Monday Wednesday Thursday Friday next week.

[stark lark]

I would email that you were sorry he counldn't make it, but are still interested in talking to him, and then XYZ is your availability over the weekend and next week

[oak sun]

He said “I apologize for the inconvenience and I truly appreciate your patience with me. I’m available (his availbility)”

Lol

[stark lark]

great

shit happens, that's life

[oak sun]

Yuh I'm just glad he emailed back 🙏

[wintry mountain]

Just got my interview 🙏🙏 thought all hope was lost

[stark lark]

well... it is based on availability, so there was no problem not getting one

but exciting!

[wintry mountain]

Do interviewers see your EC list?

this dude is a goldman sachs analyst who runs an anti abortion, pro conservative family values organization.. my ECs include campaigning for democratic politicians and lgbt activism 😭😭

[stark lark]

No, they see nothing about you other than:

Name, school, email, phone

[wintry mountain]

thank god lmfao

[exotic ridge]

...

[earnest pelican]

Lmao my interview was crazy

He was asking what I think about the Ukraine war and what our policy should be

And whos gonna win our election

[stark lark]

yikes

not good

If you wre my student I would report that, but I get that in your position you might not

but that is super inappropriate

[agile bloom]

are interviews any indication of how well ur app is doing, or are they strictly offered based on regional availability

i still haven't gotten one yet but just curious if "anyone" can receive one or if they are mostly offered to the more competitive applicants

[stark lark]

availability

[remote juniper]

I just had my interview:

They told me that interviews are given to everyone in the ED round. But for RD applicants (at least in my case/area I guess) they are given to people who've gotten through the first "cut" of Admissions (he said limited down to 10,000-15,000 people)(?)

I don't know what this means for everyone across the board, but that's what they told me

And I'm from the Midwest btw

Bruh my interview was 1 hr 50 minutes too 😭

[stark lark]

Their area may be able to give out to all their ED applicants, but that isn't globally true

but mosts of the rest is BS

there is no cut

[remote juniper]

Idk that's just what he told me 💀 ig he was just yapping

[remote juniper]

Some please lmk if their interviewers said anything similar

[stark lark]

I haven't been the perosn assigning interview in a few years, but this was NOT the case

[remote juniper]

Okay thank you 😭 I don't know what he was on about then bc I was taken aback by it too 😭

Whole interview was moderately odd

[lucid shale]

dartmouth is so cool

had my interview

so awesome

the alumni seemed super engaged

[low jungle]

I feel like Dartmouth just breeds genuinely nice people

My Dartmouth interviewer was one of the most down to earth and nice people I’ve ever talked to

Great experience

[spice jungle]

darty people are cool

@stark lark for example fr!

[stark lark]

😁😁

[lucid shale]

same!!

he was talking about how dartmouth fosters open conversation

so even tho theres polarization, the admin team tries its best to do like seminars/workshops to bridge the political divide through dialogue

thought that was cool

[stark lark]

They also jut started a new like... open conversation program

a thing teh new president initiatedd

[lucid shale]

yaya thats what the alum was talking about

obviously not going to solve everything but it's nice

[stark lark]

my description is bad, but I can send the link about it if you want

[lucid shale]

https://home.dartmouth.edu/dartmouth-dialogues this one right

[stark lark]

yep

[spice jungle]

Mine did too a lot lol

[lucid shale]

must mean something!!

[hexed canopy]

just received an interview invite!

[earnest pelican]

It wasn’t that bad just sort of caught me off guard lol. Dude kinda reminded me of Al Gore but he was chill

[cyan thunder]

damn my friend just told me that she sent peer rec only like yesterday

Is it over for me

[stark lark]

i mean, you may have been fnie, but those are definitely not appropriate topics for a college interview

[stark lark]

No

you could gget in without a peer rec

[lucid shale]

^^ same thing happened with me

he asked about my thoughts on AA/DEI policies

prob not appropriate

but at least he agreed with my viewpoint

[stark lark]

ugh, that sucks

[earnest pelican]

That’s a whole other level omg

Next he’s gonna ask you bout abortion 😂

[lucid shale]

HE DID

well not really

we spoke about religion/ideologies in women's rights

but that was very risky

he didn't agree with me on that much

[earnest pelican]

This is the worst interview of all time

[lucid shale]

YOURS? im sure it was great

[crimson spade]

Y’all have crazy interview questions 😭

[earnest pelican]

It was okay Ukraine was super out of left field tho lol

[lucid shale]

was it related to what you were talking about?

like diplomacy

[earnest pelican]

Literally no

[lucid shale]

that's crazy dang

well if you articulated your viewpoint well enough, it should be okay

but crazy that they ask these questions to little 17 year olds

[earnest pelican]

Yeah I’ve had two other ones and neither were anything like that

[noble condor]

my interviewer was much more chill 💀

we debated percy jackson

and talked about dartmouth

politics is wild

[stray fjord]

i had my interview this morning it was so great we were like actually the same person it was crazy

[prisma holly]

i havent sent my finaid yet is that ok

[undone hill]

my interviewer got kinda pissy that i answered the adversity question with "social anxiety", and then revealed like 5 minutes later that "oh yeah i used to be homeless"

overall his notes were that i'm VERY intense, and that I should probably slow down in life and stop stop to smell the roses. idk if these are good signs

[agile bloom]

ughhh i want an interview they seem fun

[undone hill]

well i only had this one interview. but yeah it was pretty chill, the guy asked me like one starter question and then let me yap for 20 minutes, and just bounced off of what i was saying for most of the rest of it

it was mostly just a conversation

[modern ruin]

Anyone else not get their interview invitation yet ✋

[stark lark]

Probably lots of people. It doesn't mean anything

[agile bloom]

meeee and i live in a big city area 😓

[topaz karma]

+1

[topaz karma]

+1

[elfin sigil]

yea i haven’t

but a friend did

[gritty berry]

i havent but im intl

so i doubt imma be gettin one

[hexed canopy]

Just found out my friend hasn’t uploaded her rec

Soon to be ex friend if she doesn’t do it by EOD 😭

[lucid shale]

end of december

[mortal hearth]

There is a tick next to css profile and additional fin aid material on my portal. Does this mean that they have received my parents' documents that I sent them through mail? They didn't really mail me back anything and I am not sure if additional fin aid material on the portal had a tick previously or not. Should I mail them or is it fine? I am international btw.

[sleek reef]

Dartmouth was probably one of my top 3 best apps

so hoping for the best

[sleek reef]

+1

I've only had the interview for georgetown (and babson but I registered for that one)

[hexed canopy]

Dartmouth interview only scheduled for 25 minutes 🤨

[gentle iron]

unless theyre really busy it will probably go over that

mine are all scheduled for 30-40 min but end up being longer

[hexed canopy]

Unfortunately, she sent out a sign up genius and she’s packed with interviews

[hexed canopy]

Same here 😭 I have to scope out 2 hours just to be safe

[tender sinew]

Both my online ones went well but the interviewer cut them off exactly at 40

[oak sun]

Dartmouth interview tomorrow at 8:00. Hopefully goes better than last time!

[dire lantern]

gl bro

[zinc shadow]

I’m so scared for my interview it’s next week

Any tips?

[stark lark]

You'll be fine. There is nothing to be scared of

[drowsy imp]

goodluck!

i love dartmouth!! 💚

[spice jungle]

power move it fr

[zinc shadow]

LMFAO me n my interviewer had sm trouble trying to get this interview scheduled

[hexed canopy]

ME LOL

She’s def pissed 😭

[oak sun]

Not worth being scared of these interviews. I've had a wonderful experience with all of my interviewers (granted my Dartmouth one didn't show up the first scheduled time we had set but definitely nothing bad). Most of them are just alumni/sometimes seniors who aren't drilling you for anything they're just trying to get a good "picture" of who yo uare

uhhhhh

This time the Zoom interview does not have a waiting room it just let me join straight up

[spice jungle]

the darty interviewers are really nice

[oak sun]

mine hasn't shown up yet again 😦

[spice jungle]

get a new one fr

this isnt fair to u

[oak sun]

HE SHOWED

WOOOOOOO

[wintry mountain]

lmfao same 😭

he sent the zoom invite to the wrong email and i got stressed out looking for it LMFAO

[fiery delta]

My counselor just told me that the admissions office emailed her asking for my IB predicted grade

[low atlas]

is it a good thing?

[fiery delta]

Not sure, my mid-term report was sent around a month ago and they still requested for my predicted

Might be borderline

[low atlas]

Umm
true true

[stark lark]

nether good nor bad, just normal

[nova canopy]

how many minutes is the interview supposed to last

[hexed canopy]

Mine is scheduled for 2(

25

[nova canopy]

25 mins??

[hexed canopy]

Yes

She had five interviews back to back tho

[stark lark]

30-45 is typical but less or more is normal too

[nova canopy]

i thought it was 60 mins...

[hexed canopy]

Prob depends

[nova canopy]

mine was like an hour

[hexed canopy]

Interviewer’s availability matters most

[nova canopy]

i guess

[hexed canopy]

Like there’s no way for mine to go over since there’s gonna be a new person right after

[nova canopy]

had a friend interview today ,, his lasted 18mins..interviewer had a clod so couldnt really keep it going..is that bad

[nova canopy]

yehhh

[hexed canopy]

Yeah it def varies, as long as u convey who u are then ur fine

[nova canopy]

fingers crossed..I was sooo worried for him because he told me he ended it himself because he was fumbling 😔😔😢

[hexed canopy]

oh

like he said he didn’t want to go any further w it?

[nova canopy]

nah he just left

[spice jungle]

mine was na hour and a half

ive heard similar from some other people

[nova canopy]

Yeh mine was an hour

[hexed canopy]

😭

[drowsy imp]

mine was like 80 mins

[nova canopy]

Yehh hm

[wintry mountain]

had my interview 🙏 talked about beer

was literally the most dartmouth man to ever exist. IB guy with a backwards baseball cap and polo who loved talking about his frat. an icon tbh

[agile bloom]

im scareddd im not getting an interview

i do well in interviews tho ug so it woiuld be kinda sad if i didnt even tho ik theyre optional anyways

[stark lark]

which frat?

[stark lark]

not gewtting one isn't scary... it is based on availability

[agile bloom]

yeah i know i just feel like i may benefit from getting one because im pretty social. if theyre still evaluative

[wintry mountain]

SAE 💀

[agile bloom]

also, im in a pretty big dc area that i know has a good dartmouth alumni network so part of me is afraid its bc im a "less competitive applicants"

[wintry mountain]

conversation def made greek life more favorable in my eyes

def not a greek life person but id seriously consider it here

[stark lark]

i wasn't planning on it going on, my wife wasn't either, but it was a big part of our experiences

[stark lark]

it isn't

[stark lark]

obviously

[wintry mountain]

rough history from what ive heard lol. he said there was a historical zero sexual assault allegations during his time! which im not entirely sure is something you should have to brag about

dude was very chill

[spice jungle]

dartmouth slowly becoming my top choice fr

[stark lark]

As it should 😄

what elements in particular?

[sleek reef]

You went to Dartmouth? The name makes sense...

[stark lark]

I did

[drowsy imp]

my love for dartmouth started slowly then all at once as I saw how perfect a fit it was

[crimson spade]

Just got my Dartmouth interview but he wants to do it in 2 days but idk how to drive and my parents aren’t home 💀

[stark lark]

virtual? somewhere walkable from your house?

[hexed canopy]

another person who doesn’t drive 🙌

[sonic epoch]

uber

[crimson spade]

Failed my test 4 times!

[crimson spade]

Yeah that’s the plan

[hexed canopy]

Five star rating yk how it is 🥱

[hexed canopy]

Get that safety checkup rating up before talking 🤧

[sonic epoch]

Urs is only one more than mine 😭😭

[crimson spade]

Wait did you schedule your Uber ahead of time

[hexed canopy]

Yeah i reserved it

[hexed canopy]

Womp womp it’s like having two nobel prizes vs just one

[stark lark]

There's a Dartmouth alum with two nobel prizes!

[crimson spade]

How do I do this 😭

I just found out that my friend has an interview with the same exact guy on the same day 😭

[dire lantern]

i like how the reviews of interviews here are like

either the most terrible acid trip type experience or the most insanely based forty-five minutes out of eighteen years of life

[stark lark]

resesrve an uber ahead? It's an option inside the app

[dire lantern]

prob bias since people with avg experiences dont have much to say but w/e

[hexed canopy]

also YALL how do i convince my friend that the peer rec was due WEEKS AGO

she says the portal states that the deadline hasn’t passed yet for her

[stark lark]

Just tell her you need it in

it's the weekend, they can find an hour or two to do i

or bail on them and ask someone else?

[hexed canopy]

i would’ve if she said she didn’t have time… i asked her late November to write it

i assumed she would have gotten it in since i reminded her multiple times 💔

[dire lantern]

bro is highkey trolling i wont lie

prob ask another person

i dont see how anything changes in the next few weeks and at this point the sooner the better

[stark lark]

or go to their house and make them do it lol

[dire lantern]

real

also like bro “hasnt had time” for the past 2.5 months

💀

[hexed canopy]

i mean i get it bc it was college app season for her but zamn

[dire lantern]

slight troll i wont lie

[hexed canopy]

she went to a kpop concert December 🙄

[dire lantern]

IN LE MIDDLE OF LES COLLEGE APPS

absttctstqhgrbwoowfyywbengyt616:)),72)&

respect at that point

🫡

[crimson spade]

Thanks! I just found it

[stark lark]

I mean, most people writing peer recs are also doing apps

it takes an hour or tow

I guess maybe applying ED worked in my favor since my friend wasn't as busy yet?

[oak sun]

Mine was 30 minutes on the button but I’m chilling dude definitely had load of work to do

[hexed canopy]

Interview went well even tho it was short

She asked 5 questions for anyone who has one coming up:
Tell me about yourself
Tell me about your favorite class
How has music played a role in your life
Tell me about something not on your application
Why Dartmouth

[zinc shadow]

thank you 🙏

[dire lantern]

r u doing something related to music 💀

doomed if she randomly asked i think

[hexed canopy]

No, but it was the last thing on my resume

[gritty berry]

they asked about ur specific ecs?

[hexed canopy]

no for some reason

honestly, before the interview, Dartmouth was my least fav college i applied to but now it’s top 5

[sleek reef]

Why do we base Spring off of a rodent

[crimson spade]

I did some more research on it and I lowkey am in love now

[sleek reef]

Theres gotta be an old Chinese proverb for falling into something unlikely or sum shit

[crimson spade]

NOOOO

[nova canopy]

more time to prepare ig

[wintry mountain]

same highkey, became my top choice when researching for supps

[crimson spade]

I have 3 more interviews this week 😭

[nova canopy]

you have a lot of preparation to do then
Good luck Ruby 🤞🍀🍀
YOU CAN DO IT 💪

[crimson spade]

THANK YOU!!

[gritty berry]

dartmouth gave similar vibes to stanford to me tbh

less stemmy tho

its very uncompetitive and it feels like everyones there to support each other

[crimson spade]

Yess exactly

[crimson spade]

F stanford

[crimson spade]

Our (my friend’s and mine) Dartmouth interviewer canceled on my friend after she drove 40 mins in pouring rain + wind (police department said stay off the road if you can) and our interviewer didn’t even tell her that the interview was canceled until she emailed him asking where he was 💀

[tender sinew]

My interviewer asked to postpone my interview

Thankfully 3 days ahead of the interview

[crimson spade]

Dang mine did too

[crimson spade]

I got a 2 hr notice but at least it was before I started driving 40 minutes in the pouring rain 😭

[tender sinew]

W

[prisma holly]

both trees bahahahahah

[dull mist]

Dartmouth becomes test required 🙄

[prisma holly]

FR?

[dull mist]

Yea

Next cycle tho

[prisma holly]

damn dartmouth is like georgetown now

[stark lark]

I think rather than this, assume a flood of schools are to follow

[dull mist]

Dartmouth really did the research to back the decision ig

[stark lark]

They were looking at this when I worked there, but actually at that point data was pointing the other way!

[gritty berry]

i actually heard mit is thinking of doing the opposite and removing theirs from one of the lincoln lab facilitators

they're waiting to see what this class's demographic looks like

[spice jungle]

hopefully this gives people some confidence

[low atlas]

How do they define disadvantaged students? That's my question...

[gritty berry]

i submitted my mid 1400 to their fly in as an upper middle class student and got in

[low atlas]

I mean for most Asian countries where a majority of the applicants are poor...if you see who got in...most will have a 1500+

[wintry mountain]

agreed, seems like all the data is pointing towards tests being the best indicator

i mean they suck to take and all but its clearly the fairest method of comparison

[low atlas]

Also, I do think that the test optional policy is making the average scores of each uni much higher than it should be

Like I've seen people not submitting a 1500 on SAT bcas they think it's a good score.

[wintry mountain]

mhm, which leads to more people applying test optional and the cycle repeating

[gritty berry]

1400 ranges used to be in the averages

[stark lark]

and they are more fair now than ever before. The amount of freely available prep material is insane

[low atlas]

True

[low atlas]

One thing that can be better is making SAT fee waivers available to intl students with disadvantaged background

[low atlas]

Now many think that 1400 is crap

I took SAT twice
I got 1430 the first time and people around me was like I'd never submit that score

[gritty berry]

sad fact is it really isnt

yale even kinda suggests submitting a 1400 (near pretest opt average) on one of their podcasts

[low atlas]

Then I had to retake it lol

And somehow made it

[gritty berry]

i didnt retake

well i did

but i didnt study

i didnt really know how

[low atlas]

I did
A lot

[gritty berry]

i think thats entirely dependent on each individual school though tbh

and how classes at that school are structured in general

[low atlas]

But Caltech being test blind is insane

[gritty berry]

its kinda the precedent in california

stanford is a strong supporter of test optional, ucs test blind

some of the claremonts as well iirc

plus it makes sense even moreso now because i heard its even hard to schedule sats at the little amount of testing centers because so many kids from the cali highschools go test optional (take with a grain a salt cuz this is anecdotal data and just something i heard from my friend)

[low atlas]

Don't really know what's going through their heads...🫡

[stark lark]

Whose?

[gritty berry]

california schools

[gritty berry]

like i said, data is dependent on each of the schools curriculum and the way their classes are structured

[floral raptor]

bro did yall see dartmouth brought back sat

rip im obviously v late, time to backread

[stark lark]

that's whwat we are talkin about...

[gritty berry]

im sure with the way caltech is set up, the sat metric doesn't matter to them

i mean the thing is: how can a standardized multiple choice test dictate how well you'll do at a school thats majority/completely free response

besides showing study habits and how good someone is at solving sat questions

it just ultimately depends on each individual school

[floral raptor]

what is the purpose of the test in the first place

like im p sure no matter what major or country or education system you're in, you'll be learning more advanced english and math throughout high school than the sat tests

and you'll obviously have your grades

i get that the test is standardized

but like education isn't standardized so can you judge people on a common metric when everybody grows up in a different learning environment

[dull mist]

its kinda surprising to see how many people literally don’t know the difference between their and they’re

[floral raptor]

was that targeted at me or are you referring to the test lol

[dull mist]

Oh I was just talkin about the test

I think it should serve as at least a ballpark since the schools around the world operate a lot differently

And also the homeschooled kids

[floral raptor]

thats fair yeah but there's also a large majority of people who just cant do tests

whether due to test anxiety or the time pressure

[gritty berry]

i get the sat test for intl students but not as much national, esp when we have ap scores

[floral raptor]

i have a friend who can do advanced math and english but can't cross 1300 for sat

[modern ruin]

Still no interview gang wya?

[agile bloom]

meeee

[modern ruin]

Yooo wsg 😭

[agile bloom]

i just saw a dartmouth alumni post on instagram for my city tho saying they are low on interviewers and they need people to volunteer 😭 so its probably fine

[agile bloom]

yeah see this is me, i would consider myself very good at calculus and other high lvl math but i just am very bad at taking test so i just did pretty mid on the ACT

[twilit tundra]

does Dartmouth really match you with someone from your city?

[agile bloom]

i am not arguing against standardized testing though...i do think it is a good metric but it shouldnt be weighed as heavily if required, which is what i think theyre trying to do. seems like its just going to be used as another point for holistic review

[twilit tundra]

cuz I am an international (in Asia) but my interviewer is currently at Dartmouth... 😂

13 hours difference...

[agile bloom]

yeah usually (i think)

[twilit tundra]

ohh ic

[agile bloom]

i feel like test optional also made the submittable score range way higher at these rlly selective universities, like i know people with 1400s who chose not to submit scores just because they didnt feel good enough even though they spent hours studying to get those scores which is kind of annoying. i feel like making it required MAY seem stressful at first but its going to be so much better

[gritty berry]

it totally did, 1400 should realistically be an acceptable score considering its in the 90% percentile

[agile bloom]

and i am test optional for this reason ^ but i feel like it's hurting me a bit

[agile bloom]

exactly, but test optional kinda ruins this

[dull mist]

Yeah right, and it will only go up

[gritty berry]

i went test optional as well

havent necessarily had bad results though

[agile bloom]

i sort of am

[gritty berry]

so i cant say for certain if its been bad for me 😭

[agile bloom]

what major have u been applying as?

[agile bloom]

yeah i can sort of say the same, i guess the worst i've been having is deferrals lol

[floral raptor]

whats your score?

[twilit tundra]

I guess the digital SAT will even bring the range up

[agile bloom]

31 so not great but something i wouldve submitted years ago lol

[floral raptor]

breakdown? and what major

[gritty berry]

thats true

[agile bloom]

im really not good at taking tests though because i have rlly bad attention issues (which isnt a great excuse lol) but if tests were req it wouldnt hurt me as much submitting that yk opposed to if i were to now

[floral raptor]

thats fair yeah

[gritty berry]

im ngl i submitted mine here and yale

[agile bloom]

see this is where it gets weird...i'm applying astrophysics but i got 36 on reading/writing (i think? this was last spring) and my math score bumped me down

not astro here though

i applied QSS

but pretty much everywhere else i applied physics or political science

[floral raptor]

damn

those are both wildly different lol

[dull mist]

Also, ngl the sat should be cheaper than way it is now since it became digital

[floral raptor]

whats qss?

[twilit tundra]

quantitative social science?

[floral raptor]

ah

[agile bloom]

hahaha i knowww i just like government and science so its hard to choose, i just picked based on the schools' programs

[gritty berry]

i have a similar issue 😭😭 if i was nonstem by score would be so much better

[agile bloom]

yes

[floral raptor]

i didnt apply dart i just came here for the test discussion

[floral raptor]

fair

im an english or eng adjacent major and got 770 M 740 EBRW lol

[agile bloom]

yesss it sucks like i swear im good at mathhhhh i just fd up on ACT

[gritty berry]

whered you get deferred from?

[crimson spade]

Not for me

[twilit tundra]

like since the introduction of Digital SAT, the average score at my school has risen so much

[floral raptor]

i hate dsat

[gritty berry]

same i can get an A in calc 3 and diff eq but not a 750 on math

[stark lark]

That's the goal

[crimson spade]

Brandon did you still end up applying Columbia?

[agile bloom]

michigan :/

[floral raptor]

biggreen did you do interviewd this year

[gritty berry]

yes but ehh about going

[agile bloom]

literally me

[twilit tundra]

well, the EBRW is easier tho (like compared to the paper one)

[stark lark]

There is, part of physics department

[crimson spade]

Are there fewer Dartmouth alumni than other schools?

For interviews

[crimson spade]

Valid

[agile bloom]

oh ya i know i just didnt apply for physics here

[stark lark]

I'm not allowed to anymore

[modern ruin]

Does dartmouth admit by major

[stark lark]

They probably do it at a higher percentage given how involved alums are, but it's a smaller school

[stark lark]

No, you declare in your 5th or 6th term

[floral raptor]

i did pen paper in 2021 and got 1510, took a practice dsat last year and got 1440

[modern ruin]

I figured

[floral raptor]

oh why if you're allowed to share

[agile bloom]

i hope dartmouth still considers legacy bc thats what im riding here.....hahahaha

[stark lark]

I'm a college counselor

[gritty berry]

due to the current political state of the world, dartmouths definitely gone up in my list due to how they're handling it

[floral raptor]

ohhhh right

[twilit tundra]

oh, I am in the opposite situation 😂

[crimson spade]

I thought you were blacklisted there

[floral raptor]

can you elaborate? in dms if you dont wanna here

[floral raptor]

💀 like someone at their school broke ed?

[crimson spade]

No

[gritty berry]

well i'll just hope they don't hold it against me

[crimson spade]

😭 manifesting for you

Do you regret doing epc

[floral raptor]

how else do you gety bkacklisted

[gritty berry]

sure, in a few

[gritty berry]

no not at the time

still dont

[opaque bronze]

your school can have a bad rep for other reasons apparently

[gritty berry]

its a free trip to nyc 😭

[opaque bronze]

like inflating grades and stuff

[crimson spade]

Ask Brandon

[crimson spade]

I meant over bound

[stark lark]

That won't get your school in trouble, it'll just be known

[opaque bronze]

do you have a reason to think that's blacklisted you

[gritty berry]

they didnt

rubys joking

[dull mist]

I know an IMO gold medalist who couldn’t get 800 on the math after several tries

[agile bloom]

ya so basically F the sat!!!!11!!111!

[opaque bronze]

no i mean inconsistently inflating grades, like in the case of certain students

[gritty berry]

they definitely got mad but theres no way they can hold that against me no?

[opaque bronze]

oh 😭

[agile bloom]

guys basically only 1 month until ivy day

[stark lark]

They wouldn't know about that really

[agile bloom]

because march doesnt count

[floral raptor]

ohhhhhhhhhh

[floral raptor]

!ivyday

[pallid jolt]

Ivy Day Decision Date

Ivy Day decisions come out <t:1711666800:F> in your local time
1 month, 23 days and 6 hours until the decision date

ApplyingToCollege

[floral raptor]

there's a lot more than 1 month 😭

im going 0-3 on ivyday lol

[agile bloom]

ahem

so basically 1 month

[agile bloom]

nooo positive

need 2 for 2

[floral raptor]

im going 0-6 with rd schools

[granite ether]

n=1

[granite ether]

imma go 0-5

ez

[twilit tundra]

I have like 17 schools pending

[floral raptor]

lol i shotgunned ed so i only have 16 remaining out of which 3 are defers

but like from the 16 its only 6 rd

cuz you have uc's and uwash and stuff

[twilit tundra]

oh yeh, UCs

[sleek reef]

Were u a former dartmouth ao?

[low jungle]

At the current state of college admissions I don’t think there’s a single right answer for tests. I have a lot of arguments against standardized tests and for standardized tests

[stark lark]

No, registrar

[low jungle]

I know so many people who perform poorly in calculus 1 but get 1500+ on the SAT, same goes other way around sure it’s reflective of ability to study and take tests? Maybe even a reflection of the basics in math and English. But I think the entirety of the data that supports the idea of submitting tests is not an accurate representation of the situation at all

[low atlas]

if i did the pen paper one i'd get like 1200 but with the digital one i found it much easier

[normal compass]

hi! it’s the second year i’m applying to dartmouth. last year i got an interview. do you think there is a chance i can get one this year as well? some schools only allow one interview no matter how many times you apply.

[stark lark]

we can't say

[gentle iron]

yeah im so glad i didnt apply cuz thats just another reason on my long list of why i dont like columbia

[dire lantern]

im about to run 0-8

💀

i lowkey applied to all 8 only for the shitpost

that and my parents wanted me to

[wintry mountain]

BASED

[hexed canopy]

College board gives colleges a slew of calculations on various factors that disadvantage students (i.e. family stability), sum them up in an ‘ECD’ (formerly), and sells them to colleges

[sleek reef]

that was literally half my why dartmouth essay lmao

[jade abyss]

chat did i miss the test required discussion 😭

[gentle iron]

mhm

[zinc shadow]

MY INTERVIEW IS TODAY HOLY SHIT

[crimson spade]

Yes

[crimson spade]

Gl!!!

Mine was supposed to be yesterday 😒

[zinc shadow]

not dartmouth bringing back the sat next year 💀

[zinc shadow]

what happened?

[crimson spade]

He canceled bc flight delays due to weather

Hopefully he emails me to reschedule

[zinc shadow]

o yea

its ok i rescheduled with my person like 3 times to get to today

if it doesnt happen today 💀

[gritty berry]

yoo mid 50% range for dartmouth includes 1440 already

oh wait thats pre test optional

[steady star]

lol I submitted for Dartmouth test optional

had a 1450 :/

low income ish too

womp womp

[gritty berry]

i submitted test required mid 1400

you could've submitted tbh

[steady star]

yea

[gritty berry]

so i think i met the qualifications(?)

[steady star]

What did u get?

[gritty berry]

around there

equal on both

[steady star]

Right

[gritty berry]

thats what they have on their website

for deciding whether to submit tests

[steady star]

Oh well

Don’t think there’s any way to submit it now

[gritty berry]

there is

i updated my app with mine

[steady star]

Really?

[gritty berry]

just hit self report test scores

yea

[gritty berry]

it'd probably be a good choice imo given how they're switching to test required

[steady star]

“At your request, Dartmouth will not consider your SAT or ACT test scores as a part of your application.”

That’s what shows up on the application portal

[gritty berry]

hit report testing

on update app

[steady star]

Lemme get on pc

how do i upload photos here 💀

[gritty berry]

you need image perms so you'd need to level up a bit more

did you find it?

[steady star]

ill dm it to you

[gritty berry]

sounds good

[steady star]

check dm

[agile bloom]

❤️

[zinc shadow]

i think i bombed that interview

:/ she asked me what other ivys i applied to 💀 and i panicked

[gritty berry]
