not to scare u oops that was not my intention i was just rying to say its so random PLS
stark lark

gritty berry
mine made me confess to getting into usc

agile bloom

zinc shadow
i would say interviews happen throughout feb till early-mid march so
stark lark
like early march?
ish
zinc shadow
just hope for sometime in the next few weeks
stark lark
you may not get one, that's okay too
zinc shadow
mine made me confess to getting into usc
im so glad she didnt ask if i got in anywhere
stark lark
it doesn't mean anything about you
agile bloom
you may not get one, that's okay too
yeah i get that, i just typically do well in interviews so i think it could help a bit
gritty berry

does dartmouth heavily analyze your midterm report?
zinc shadow

gritty berry
do you think the hockey team can unionize
zinc shadow
my grades dropped :/
gritty berry
my grades dropped :/
how bad
gritty berry
all Bs?
gritty berry
oh just one B
stark lark
do you think the hockey team can unionize
the decision should apply regardless of sport
gritty berry
the decision should apply regardless of sport
did you ever meet any of them?
the hockey players
stark lark
Yeah
gritty berry
i heard they usually take 12 year terms
stark lark
I had friends, more on the women's team
gritty berry
to remain eligible
stark lark
i heard they usually take 12 year terms
12 year terms?
gritty berry
12 year terms?
or like they stayed at dartmouth for 12 years
and took like only one class a term
stark lark
that wouldn't work. You only get 4 years of NCAA eligiblity
olympic class skiiers do a slower progression
normally doing like 2ish terms a year
gritty berry
oh really? i thought the hockey players did that too
gritty berry
so it's just skiing?
stark lark
yes, and for skiiers who don't ski for Dartmouth
like olympic/national team tier
otherwise they'd run out of eligibility really quickly
gritty berry
what's their eligibility?
stark lark
like i just said, you have 4 years of NCAA eligiblity
like i know some hockey players who did 5 years sinc they took one off to play in the oylmics
gritty berry
ohhhh
stark lark
so a bunch of 06s who graduated in 07
stark lark
and a girl in my class who was admitted as a 09 but deferred to play
gritty berry
and a girl in my class who was admitted as a 09 but deferred to play
you played some club sports right?
gritty berry
is varsity for the school? im not sure of the classifications
gritty berry
oh for what?
stark lark
sailing
gritty berry
oh haha that's what my interviewer did i think
he was a recent grad though so im not sure if you'd know him
gritty berry
whhat year are they?
did you get in for sailing or did you walk on?
stark lark
walk on
back then there wasn't a ton of recruiting for sailing
and I wouldn't have been recruited anyways
gritty berry
and I wouldn't have been recruited anyways
why so?
stark lark
i'm too big, didn't have the right high school experiene
gritty berry
i'm too big, didn't have the right high school experiene
did you play anything else besides sailing
stark lark
i played club soccer and squash. Intramural soccer, hockey, basketball, tennis, softball, uhh...
gritty berry
holy
gritty berry
i played club soccer and squash. Intramural soccer, hockey, basketball, tennis, ...
would it be hard to get involved in sports if you've never done them before? i think hockey, tennis, volleyball, triathlon, and skiing would be sick
stark lark
I think there is club ski racing
gritty berry
do you guys have freestyle snowboarding?
stark lark
you can do learn to play hockey for PE
gritty berry
you can do learn to play hockey for PE
that sounds awesome
stark lark
do you guys have freestyle snowboarding?
I don't tihnk so
stark lark
that sounds awesome
yeah, i did it. It was really fun. A few of my friends on the women's team taught it
club teams vary. Some are really open to newbies, others are pretty competitive
gritty berry
club teams vary. Some are really open to newbies, others are pretty competitive
what are the most competitive sports there?
stark lark
for club? Soccer tryouts were pretty selective, since I graduated they added a B team. Figure skating wins national comps all the time, but they may take a lot of people and only the very bets compete at that level

they are definitely considering scores still
even though they say they aren't they definitely are
especially since this year was so bad they had to change things
I was the only kid applying to Dartmouth at my school who submitted a test score and I got deferred and the rest didn't submit theres and got rejected
modern ruin
I was the only kid applying to Dartmouth at my school who submitted a test score...

not equals, peers
Dartmouth is like 1/4 the size of Cornell
they arenn't really peers

i would assume so, but you shosuld jut assume they don't exist

hmmmmm, then who knows 🤣
agile bloom
i just saw a post on the dartmouth club of DC saying they need more interviewers tho
terse sluice
ohhh yeah
agile bloom
so maybe theyre just not able to keep up w the amnt of applicants rn
cuz they were asking for anyone to pls sign up to interview the hundreds of applicants lol
terse sluice
yeah dont they get like 25-30k or so
agile bloom
idek it said 500? i think? but this is only RD too so who knows
agile bloom
i literally could not care less ab an interview buuut since this one is evaluative (i think?) i feel like i would benefit a lot so i j rlyl want one
plus the ones ive had r fun
terse sluice
yeah they say that it can benefit your application but if you dont get offered one it wont hurt you
stark lark
so maybe theyre just not able to keep up w the amnt of applicants rn
yeah this is common in high population areas
stray fjord
all good, i live right outside of DC
same but i got my interview a while ago idk how they match up people
stark lark
as someone who used to assign interviews, it is based on who has applied and who was available to interview. I tried to keep people from having tod rive too far (I had a large rural area)

my friend from my school who got in ED didnt get her interview until like 2-3 weeks before her decision so maybe there is still hope

like what questions?
well i just mean if someone hasnt attended in 20 years, you cannot ask them as specific a question as someone currently attending, such as in your case
so maybe what their favorite class was that they didn't expect to like or what their favorite club or community on campus is
or perhaps more useful, as an example, "You are from the same area as me, what did you find to be the best and cheapest way to travel from home to campus and back?"

well i submitted it as a part of my rd app so before

still hoping that new policy will help me

but considering my context I should have submitted my 1450
I uploaded it to the portal three days ago and emailed my admission officer so yolo

shouldn't be too late! i would think that would help

Yea they haven’t updated my portal yet
Still shows that your sat scores will not be considered

cuz like the study said, some people who didnt submit their test scores got rejected when they otherwise probably would have been accepted (if that had submitted them)

At Dartmouth how many classes do u take each quarterly on average ?
Like is it less than a semesters amount bc it’s the d plan
spice jungle
how do i know that darty has my mid year
spice jungle
you can take 2 or 4, but 3 is the norm
i thought 4 was normal at most colleges why is it 3 at dartmouth?
terse sluice
i thought 4 was normal at most colleges why is it 3 at dartmouth?
i think because you have the quarter system you can take less classes per quarter and still end up taking more per year
ie 4/semester for 2 semesters = 8 classes / year, 3/quarter for 3 quarters = 9 classes / year

i thought 4 was normal at most colleges why is it 3 at dartmouth?

And this was like
4 days ago
Is it safe to say its over 😭
Cuz if we go to the same school same town why would he get one and i dont
terse sluice
dw about it 😀
remember you can only be judged on the info they have and if you dont get an interview that wont hurt you
still more than a month till admissions decisions, you might still get messaged
they probably just dont want to over-contact and then not be able to interview

i havent received one either yet so im a lil on edge but viewing it from an outside perspective idt its rlly anything to worry ab
i feel confident that it really is just on availability

should i email my interviewer to let them know

also, why did you withdraw?
I assume he committed to Berkeley eecs as his name suggests
Or maybe berkeley is one of his very top and he only leaves hypsm for rd

still seems silly to withdraw
Thats why im not doing it for some schools (not Dartmouth ofc) but i paid the fee to have my app evaluated so i want a decision lol

do you have an interview scheduled?
uh my interviewer emailed me 2 days ago
i never responded and finalized

also, why did you withdraw?
i wouldnt go to dartmouth over berkeley eecs
but ik ppl at my school who love dartmouth and def would go if they had the opportunity
didnt want to get in the way of anyone getting in
if that's even possible idrk
stark lark
That isn't how it works, but sure, you do yo
it would be polite to let them know you no longer an interview

if you submit an SAT it will be a major factor in your app, by extension, not submitting one can actually negatively effect you; look at Dartmouths recent study which prompted them to reinstate the SAT requirement
they found some who did not submit their SAT got denied when if they would have submitted their SAT they likely would have been accepted
it was made optional because of COVID, never made it less important

@stark lark my interviewer mentioned that you could "combine" majors depending on each department (she was a gov major and combined it with econ) could you expand on how that works at dartmouth if you have knowledge on it
stark lark
Sure! It is called a modified major
you can combine most things (some limit it) if you can put forward a compelling rationale as to how the combo works
Most majors are 1-3 pre-reqs plus 10ish courses
modified majors are generally 7 classes from the main dept, and 4ish from the secondary
hazy jackal
okay thats really cool and yeah i heard about the limits
she was gov and she told me she could only do econ and psych (?)
stark lark
Like for the longest time you couldn't modify GOVT

I don't think my interview went well. I was really nervous and had a hard time expressing what I wanted to say and I didn't feel like I answered the questions well. My interviewer and I didn't really talk about much other than the specific questions he asked me and what I asked him, and it didn't really feel like a conversation. I just feel bad
I've heard of some people having sort of tangent discussions based on some of their specific interests and we didn't do that at all
He also told me that everyone at Dartmouth is really social, which is why he wanted to go, and now I'm rethinking whether or not I even should have applied because I'm very introverted
