Dartmouth College (2023-2024)

[hexed canopy]

obv someone will read apps so it’s all good either way haha

[spice jungle]

this guy must have an easy job

accepted x25

[obtuse pewter]

oh no there were 101 applications from NV last year

there was 1 who enrolled LMFAOOOO

[stark lark]

Did I know anyone from Nevada? I don't think so

[sudden marten]

1 admitted and 1 enrolled?

[sudden marten]

Prob because public highscools of nevada are known to be highly inflated 💀

[obtuse pewter]

it doesn't tell me how many are admitted

only enrolled

[stark lark]

Oh I Did! Ironically she was on the sailing team with me

[sudden marten]

Oh got it

[obtuse pewter]

from 2018-2022 it says nevada averaged 5 enrolled students

last year just 1

[sudden marten]

Dannggg, thats rare

[hexed canopy]

weird year then

[sudden marten]

I hope we make history this year sob sob

[hexed canopy]

where can I find that info for my state?

[obtuse pewter]

https://www.dartmouth.edu/oir/data-reporting/factbook/admissions.html

i know a LOT of shotgunners from my state

specifically clark HS

[lucid shale]

i love this school

i will hate it on thursday

[obtuse pewter]

im gonna have to deal with uncommitted ISEF medalists in RD

which is annoying

hopefully they shotgunned hard enough that they didn't care to write their essays well'

[sudden marten]

Real, but somehow dartmouth's essay are editable sooo they might have the time to increase the quality

[hexed canopy]

4 enrolled students on average 😭

12th lowest state just below Kansas 😈

[stark lark]

i mean, it is far awawy, doesn't have a big population

very different climate

[hexed canopy]

yeah climate was a concern for me as well so it makes sense

[stark lark]

i mean, Nevada is like my nightmare

second to like Arizona

[terse sluice]

damn, 10 enrolled average from michigan

[stark lark]

couple hockey guys and gals maybe?

[terse sluice]

hopefully me being in the upper peninsula helps me, it is like a completely different state 🤣

[sudden marten]

Haha its too hot in summer and too cold in winter

[obtuse pewter]

last year less than 1% of NV applicants matriculated at dartmouth

[lucid shale]

canada has 21 enrolled per year. i'd assume majroity of them are this

[obtuse pewter]

yeah no it's either 110 degrees or 50

no in between

[stark lark]

decent number are, some are just NARPs

[stark lark]

50 is so reasonable, it is no "cold"

[sudden marten]

but canada is a big country soooo its still hard

[stark lark]

Hanover has been nearly 100 degrees colder than 50 when i've been there

[obtuse pewter]

it's cold when 90% of your attire is shorts

[lucid shale]

5% matriculation rate is quite large (comparable to the other states)

[stark lark]

maybe some First Nations kids too

[sudden marten]

Hmm yea

[obtuse pewter]

over the last 5 years the matriculation rate in nevada is ~5%

[stark lark]

i think the zoomers call that a "skill issue"

[obtuse pewter]

which is similar to the acceptance rate

yield rate's like 70% ish

iirc

[lucid shale]

ohhh yes - i know someone who's Indigenous and got into dartmouth from my province. they have a really good program for FNMI students, so it'd make sense

[stark lark]

yea

[lucid shale]

math

love it

[obtuse pewter]

62% yield last year

by assumption then they admit around 8 NV students and around 5 end up matriculating

so i just have to be in the 8% that they liked the most

yeah im cooked

[obtuse pewter]

hey i have some sweaters and jeans too

and khakis

[terse sluice]

what happened in 2017?

[stark lark]

i think the SAT recalibrated

[obtuse pewter]

that makes sense

[terse sluice]

ahh yeah

[sonic epoch]

It's about the same Enrolled to Applicant ratio as TX though

[terse sluice]

😭

(ik that the number of students applied has increased, this is a joke really without that ocntext)

admitted count has been mostly constant

[stark lark]

remember that a lot of the inflation in apps with test optional included a lot of very uncompetitive applicants

[terse sluice]

mmm that is comforting :)

[obtuse pewter]

idk if i would be considered uncompetitive

i've had four rejections IN A ROW

like im stressing cuz i still don't know if im qualified

[terse sluice]

i barely applied anywhere so i only have 1 rejection and 1 wait list

only 1 acceptance to a "good" school, the rest are safeties

[sonic epoch]

u have 4 days

good luck!

[sonic epoch]

which

[obtuse pewter]

four days to get qualified 😂

[terse sluice]

UMich, but im in state

[obtuse pewter]

USAMO speedrun

ISEF speedrun

[sonic epoch]

hahaha

[terse sluice]

i think i only applied to 9 schools, maybe less

[obtuse pewter]

i applied to 12

[sonic epoch]

fwiw my AO said she loved the update i sent her 2 weeks ago

[terse sluice]

Dartmouth really is my no. 1 i didnt really care about anywhere else tbh

[obtuse pewter]

dartmouth AO?

[sonic epoch]

yes

[obtuse pewter]

that's kinda cool

i didnt update my AO with anything

maybe i should have? but there wasn't really anything notable to update besides missing presidential scholar by ONE MF POINT

[terse sluice]

i mean i sent an update but via the portal

because there was an option in the portal to do so

idek about AOs or who mine was

[sonic epoch]

see i wouldve

but i wanted the personal connection

to make sure they read it

[obtuse pewter]

ah yeah you right

[terse sluice]

well yeah that is so much stronger lmao i would have done that if i knew i could have

[sonic epoch]

i managed to get ahold of the regional AO for every shcool i applied to except harvard

[terse sluice]

that is such a good thing

[hexed canopy]

it’s a percentage point smaller (3% vs 4%)

[obtuse pewter]

what state?

[hexed canopy]

SC vs TX

[obtuse pewter]

SC only matriculates 4?

that's odd

[sonic epoch]

a point doesnt matter

[hexed canopy]

when we r talking this small, it does buckaroo 🤬

[sonic epoch]

ur right

[modern ruin]

Try being from the same school and one person gets one and the other doesnt (me)

[thorn moon]

dartmouth is ED right not EA

[terse sluice]

yeah

[modern ruin]

Yes

[terse sluice]

otherwise i would have applied ea

[thorn moon]

dang nabbit

[terse sluice]

in hindsight i wish i woulda just applied ED 😭

[thorn moon]

ea schools are awesome man we need more of them

[terse sluice]

fr

[thorn moon]

it’s like 20% of ED get into dartmouth

kinda wild

[modern ruin]

I should’ve ed

[terse sluice]

yeah, i just want it to be over lmao, will be soon now so no bother

[modern ruin]

I ed to brown, and 2 days before the brown decision i toured dartmouth and went “wow this is literally my dream not brown”

Then brown rejected me

Fate tbh

[terse sluice]

fr

i was as gung ho about dartmouth when i initially applied

for some reason i was stuck on princeton

am so i happy i got ea rejected lmao, i would not like it there

[modern ruin]

I was sad abt brown but my delusions twisted it like fate

[terse sluice]

im ready to just be done, cant wait for thurs

[modern ruin]

Is darty your last?

[terse sluice]

whether i get in or not i will be at peace

yeah

only other school is northwestern on wed

[spice jungle]

praying my interview comes thru for me fr

[modern ruin]

Say you get rejected from remainig, where would you go

[terse sluice]

i gotta submit my loci/waitlist request for cmu still but i dont really see me going there

[modern ruin]

As of now

[terse sluice]

well i was majorly thinking UMich for CSE

but just toured a small safety LAC, Albion College

really tiny, 1500 students total

but they have that Columbia combined plan thing

[modern ruin]

Hmm

[terse sluice]

and they say guaranteed admission into Columbia for a dual degree program

BA from the LAC, BSE from Columbia

[modern ruin]

Not bad

[terse sluice]

• I have a full tuition scholarship there

would be really cheap to attend compared to anywhere else on my list

[modern ruin]

Nicee

Id be at northeastern if darty doesnt want me

[terse sluice]

it is also like 1 hour out of Ann Arbor so i could still see all my friends at UMich 🤣

yeah i didnt apply there, but like i said i applied to very few schools

[modern ruin]

I got 3 friends at neu so it wouldnt be bad

[sonic epoch]

if darty doesnt want me prob usc or unc

[terse sluice]

yeah i just wanted to know someone but ive realized it dont really matter

[modern ruin]

Both w

[terse sluice]

if i go to dartmouth i wont know anyone

except you guys 😉

[modern ruin]

If i go to dartmouth i can fulfill the prophecy

[terse sluice]

🌟

[modern ruin]

My best friend from camp is 3 years older than me and went to my school

I learned hes at dartmouth now (i was unfamiliar with bros game cuz i knew him back in middle school)

So i talked to him abt the school and he said if i get in we gonna have lunch first week

[terse sluice]

you gonna be having lunch with him in august

( i can see the future )

[modern ruin]

I better be 🙏

Bro was my role model growing up

He was my counselor and let me play games on his phone

[terse sluice]

damn

you have to get in then 🤣

[sonic epoch]

thats so sweet

[terse sluice]

fulfill that prophecy

[thorn moon]

low key dartmouth seems fire

i’d ED but i’m in love with columbia

[terse sluice]

is columbia's cs program good

i havent really looked into many programs

[thorn moon]

I think so but low key idc

I’d go for any program

[terse sluice]

if i were to go to this one LAC i would likely try and do columbia's combined plan

dual degree program they have between LACs and them

if you were unfamiliar

[modern ruin]

March 28th… game day baby.

[thorn moon]

It’s so close to me bro I wanna stay home and go there

10 min away with the subway

But dartmouth looks really cool

[terse sluice]

oh yeah it would be a ways for me

[thorn moon]

I’ve never been outside a city for like

More than a week

[terse sluice]

• i live in a 7000 pop town so a huge adjustment

[thorn moon]

Maybe short camping trips but nothing suburbs or small town

Hanover seems cool

[terse sluice]

ive been to plenty of big cities tho, just never really lived in one long time

that is one reason why dartmouth appeals to me is because it aint in some big city, its environment looks just like where im from in the upper peninsula of michigan

[gritty berry]

a lot of this is from athletes and legacy tho

its def higher tho fs

[thorn moon]

still a crazy percentage

[terse sluice]

isnt dartmouth legacy percentage like 10%

[neat elm]

how much of the deferred get in?

[thorn moon]

no idea you’ll prolly have to search it up

[neat elm]

yeah. found somewhere it is around 10%

pretty good though

but those 10% would have gotten in without ed as well i think.

[thorn moon]

fr

[ocean path]

i read somewhere it was 20

[neat elm]

wow. that's a huge % for Defer in rd

[ocean path]

yup

goes to show some schools value when you apply more than others as it relates to acceptance rate LOL

[left forge]

Let me in darty......please

[elfin juniper]

are we gonna have a darty party

[terse sluice]

yes

darty party confirmed

Dartmouth said 7pm right

[tender sinew]

All of them release at the same time

[terse sluice]

is that when?

[floral raptor]

you can use !ivyday in #🤖-bot-commands to check

in your timezone

[terse sluice]

ahhh 6p cst, cool

[stark lark]

[terse sluice]

DAMNNN

too bad im a few thousand over that threshold, but i imagine i'd be covered pretty well still if i got in and attended

[stark lark]

Yeah, it isn't a cliff

[modern ruin]

I found my admissions officer and hes like literally jus like me

Do u think that could potentially help

[tender sinew]

Nah

[floral raptor]

my bsf stalked his umich AO to the point of knowing her favorite breakfast, cat's name, etc etc

and he got in

and she resigned like a month after

do with that information what you will

[toxic summit]

LMAOOOO

[floral raptor]

(im not joking he kinda did stalk and he did get in but like... dont stalk your AOs guys)

[terse sluice]

awwww

[floral raptor]

his AO did say this when he emailed her about being admitted though which was v cute

[crimson spade]

Should I email my AOs 😭

Idk my UC AOs but Wellesley and usc

[floral raptor]

ngl i haven't emailed any of them

[crimson spade]

Same

[floral raptor]

actually thats false

i emailed my USC AO and she never responded

[crimson spade]

Oh I emailed 0

[crimson spade]

Oh!

[floral raptor]

but she sent a generic email 3 days later saying "feel free to reach out with any questions"

thanks for responding to me 🫶

[crimson spade]

💀

[floral raptor]

its not even a generic email i sent

i had a query as well

regarding my mailing address

but nooooo

[viscid perch]

i dont know who my ao is

[floral raptor]

go bruins anyways

[crimson spade]

I’ll email my interviewers if I get into any of their schools

[floral raptor]

oh yeah i was thinking to do that

[crimson spade]

Are we Bruin bound

[floral raptor]

because yk we've actually spoken with them lol

[floral raptor]

yes

90%

[viscid perch]

vvvat

[crimson spade]

[floral raptor]

[crimson spade]

Of the schools I got into

[floral raptor]

[crimson spade]

LOL

It’s fine I’m going 0/8 this week 😭

[floral raptor]

lowk i feel the same

and idk how i'd take that

like it wouldn't be tooo crushing because i like my options

but it would hurt my ego a lot

[crimson spade]

I started my period Saturday so I will be crying every day

[floral raptor]

went from 0 rejections in like 20 decisions to 8 rejections in a row

[crimson spade]

I went 2/6 last week 😭 4 wls

[floral raptor]

BRO LMFAO SAME

I DIDNT GO FOR HOLI TODAY BECAUSE OF CRAMPS

[crimson spade]

Lowkey haven’t gotten a rejection since Dec

[floral raptor]

RAHHHECTOHOEWIHT WOITH

[crimson spade]

I SKIPPED SCHOOL BC OF IT

[floral raptor]

my last rejection was day before yesterday

[crimson spade]

Yes

[crimson spade]

Mooo

Bu ❌❌❌

[floral raptor]

[floral raptor]

[crimson spade]

[floral raptor]

daaaaaaaaamn

[crimson spade]

It’s legit 2 streets

[floral raptor]

[floral raptor]

well good thing im not going there!

[toxic summit]

Now Dartmouth is #1 in finaid offering

[floral raptor]

that can't be true though

[crimson spade]

I’m sure he’ll see once he researches

[floral raptor]

aren't yale/stanford/columbia/uchicago better

[crimson spade]

Danggg

[floral raptor]

yeah his dream is umich but he's oos and they aren't giving him fin aid :/

[crimson spade]

They aren’t ? My friend got finaid oos last year

[floral raptor]

i mean he got some

just not enough

that he'd get at privates

[crimson spade]

Ohh my friend got a bunch

Even though he’s rich asf

Idk how it worked

[floral raptor]

damn

are you sure it wasn't a merit scholly

[crimson spade]

Yeah

[modern ruin]

My ao if u can hear me

Save me 🥹

[bright vale]

œ

[elfin juniper]

no way whatttt

okay wait

dartmouth is actually goated

dartmouth best ivy confirmed?

[lucid shale]

DAMN

[gritty berry]

baddies here?

[sudden marten]

I edited my essays on february 11 into a completely new one. Would they have noticed it and documented it?

[wild path]

noticed it?

[sudden marten]

The committee or the ao reading my files

Like ya know in the first phase

[wild path]

feb 11 is over a month after they start reading

probably yes

don’t stress about it though

you’ll know in 3 days!

[sudden marten]

Yeaa I'm trying lol. I'm getting rejections left and right and i dont know how to feel.

[wild path]

did you say you applied ED?

just try to remember that every decision is independent of one another

and it only takes one:)

you got this!!!

dartmouth is in your future

[sudden marten]

Thanks alot, I think I should head on! I feel better right now

[wild path]

you got this

it’ll work out

[edgy glen]

Admissions would be much competitive
Acceptance rate would plummet
But the FA would be robust than ever

[edgy glen]

It's usually the last rated out of all ivy
Dk why
But that's it

Who else did receive a late interview from Dartmouth
I mean around March 1st

[jaunty wing]

i got mine relatively late like feb 20

how the heck were you able to edit your essays??

[sudden marten]

I always had the option to edit my essays :/

[edgy glen]

Oh
I had mine around Feb 28

[jaunty wing]

where could you edit essays?

[edgy glen]

I got it Feb 27

[sudden marten]

Umm what's those date?

[jaunty wing]

did you edit on the dartmouth portal or common app?

[sudden marten]

The Dartmouth portal

[jaunty wing]

bruh what

[sudden marten]

Maybe because I'm QB but idk further than that

[jaunty wing]

okay that makes sense

[stark lark]

always has been for undergrad 😉

[stark lark]

no? You submittedd it way before tath

[sudden marten]

Ooof so they wouldn't notice the change I made?

[stark lark]

You already submitted your application

[sudden marten]

Yea but I had the choice to edit my essays apparently

And hit the update button

[stark lark]

on commonapp?

[sudden marten]

Dartmouth Portal

Prior to disabling the checklist

[modern ruin]

Do yall know if admissions reads the common app exactly as the preview pdf reads on common app itself

Surely its diff to them right, i swear theres a fair bit of info left out of the preview

[terse sluice]

yeah the preview is rather ugly

[umbral schooner]

the preview is so
like
dehumanizing 😭

[primal harbor]

seriously

it looks like you didnt put effort at all in ur application

like idk it just looks cheap 😭

[stark lark]

the point isn't to look pretty, it is to simply and clearly convey the contents

they have to read SO many

[spice jungle]

Anyone know what percent of ppl get interviews + what percent put in the peer rec?

just interested in stats

[thorn moon]

pretty sure mr biggreen has said interviews are availability based

[modern ruin]

Most people on the thread are extremely adamant that its availability ONLY

[silk hedge]

i forgot peer recs existed

[spice jungle]

so you're telling me lets say a town had one alumni interviewer doing only one interview, and one student had a say 1600 sat nobel prize rsi isef winner whatver and the other a 2.1 gpa and a -50 sat, that both are equally likely to get an interview?

[silk hedge]

sure?

[spice jungle]

🤨 ight

[modern ruin]

Yup

What if the 2.1 gpa and -50 sat had a touching life and the 1600 nobel prize winner was rude and racist and a bad fit for dartmouth

[silk hedge]

both would probably get rejected

[modern ruin]

Idk im yappin but its just a part of the process

[silk hedge]

but the former would avtually have a good dartmouth interview report

bc its holistic

[modern ruin]

I was gonna say that

[terse sluice]

not sure about peer recs, but if i remember correctly, i think about 50% of applicants receive an interview - thought i read somewhere that 17,000 interview reports were submitted; again availability based

i could also completely be remembering that wrong so dont take that as fact

like at all cuz i cant remember if that was even for dartmouth 🤣

[granite ether]

does it mean anything if i get my interview much later than my peers from same school or im reading too much into it

[stark lark]

yep

The volunteer assigning interviews knows no details

[steady star]

I’m cooked for Dartmouth

submitted my 1450 for it too lol

[gritty berry]

what a g

submitted a 1460 LMAO

[silk hedge]

1450 isnt that bad yall

[woven inlet]

^

[gritty berry]

its good overall but its bad for top schools

[silk hedge]

well its not bad

its not preferably but its not bad

i would worry below 1400

[obtuse pewter]

real

[silk hedge]

1400-1500 kinda just neutrals out

like it doesnt help or hurt

[obtuse pewter]

i submitted a 35 for dartmouth

[silk hedge]

1500-1550 is a nice sprinkle on top and 1550-1600 is like two sprinkles

[gritty berry]

threw my sat in there for the ao to think "damn at least this kids honest n didnt go test optional"

[obtuse pewter]

honestly that's what test required was intended to be

[silk hedge]

i did a 34 for dartmouth

[obtuse pewter]

that's like 1500 right

[gritty berry]

ish

[obtuse pewter]

hopefully my test scores can pull through

[silk hedge]

i guess

and i also got a 1510 so it matches up

i submitted both so it shows im consistent

[obtuse pewter]

i had 35 and 1500

didn't submit 1500

both were one shot no superscore

but idk if that makes a difference

[tender sinew]

34 = 1490-1520 35 = 1530 - 1560 36 = 1570 -1590

no act score can match a 1600

1600 built completely diff

[obtuse pewter]

the ACT was just the free one given to me by the school 💀

[silk hedge]

its slightly easier to get a 36 than a 1600

because like 1-2 more questions room for error with 4 categories instead of 2

you can get like one reading question wrong, like two maths, two englishes, and a science

[twilit tundra]

I actually registered for the ACT, but was canceled for some reasons (no refunds, they didn't even reply to my email, lol), so I decided to do the SAT

[obtuse pewter]

for me if i didn't take the ACT @ school i wouldn't graduate

so i just had to take it

i was originally gonna skip it but im glad i didn't 🙏

[gritty berry]

bruh thats not a thing

[granite ether]

does dart even superscore

idrk

[twilit tundra]

I think so?

I remember seeing it soemwhere

[obtuse pewter]

wdym the not graduating?

in NV if you don't take the act w/ writing you don't graduate it's a requirement

that's why we have 100% act participation

[silk hedge]

yes they do

in the portal they had superscores there

[steady star]

Lol that’s exactly what I did

[gritty berry]

w

what major r u

[steady star]

Government

and u submitted a 700 English score 🤣

I*

[gritty berry]

ur good then i literally dont know anyone that majors in gov

[steady star]

I applied as one but ima change it day one if I miraculously get in

[terse sluice]

yeah I submitted a 1450

Context is everything

As in whatever you school average is

[obtuse pewter]

mine's crazy

like 1250-1300

for an NV school that's insane

[terse sluice]

Yeah my school average is sub 1000💀💀

I'm in a very rural small town area

Upper Peninsula of Michigan but pretty much Northern Wisconsin

[obtuse pewter]

the district average is 17 ACT

my school average is probably like 26 or something

for the ones applying to ivies n shit it's probably 32

i have the #4 test in my school so that could help? the #1, #2 and #3 are already committed

[terse sluice]

yeah I hope that I have a small advantage in that I know I'm probably one of like 5 or less kids in the whole upper peninsula to apply to an ivy schools

[obtuse pewter]

mine's a fringe rural magnet school though

technically considered rural but it's really suburban

enough to qualify for rural + small town recognition

[terse sluice]

yeah this whole region (referred to as the UP for "Upper Peninsula") is SUPER rural

[obtuse pewter]

ahhhh

[terse sluice]

literally is like it's own state

[obtuse pewter]

this is my area

my school is out here though

[terse sluice]

that's nice looking; the closest city to me is Green Bay and that isn't that big compared to like Chicago or Minneapolis

[obtuse pewter]

i also live out here

[terse sluice]

I've always wanted to visit like NM or AZ, that sort of habitat

[obtuse pewter]

you should visit vegas

you can 2 in 1 the urban stuff and the nature stuff

[terse sluice]

I've been to Anaheim but just in the city for a week or so

yeah I'd like to do that eventually

[obtuse pewter]

i live around 30 minutes from the las vegas strip but also 30 minutes from the mountains

and 20 minutes away from red rock canyon

[terse sluice]

that is awesome

[obtuse pewter]

that desert is like 15 mins away from me

[terse sluice]

there are like no national parks or renowned landmarks close to me

although it is very beautiful here

just can be a little monotonous when all you see is trees and forests

[obtuse pewter]

yeah you should totally visit vegas

there's so much to do here that isn't gambling and casino

and then you can go for the flashing lights at night

this is what my campus looks like

[obtuse pewter]

that kinda sucks ngl

[terse sluice]

I think this summer I may either visit NYC or Yellowstone and the Dakotas

Oh that is beautiful

My school is a single sorrowful building

[obtuse pewter]

imma delete to avoid dox

we have 7 buildings

campus was built in 2011

[terse sluice]

Yeah my school building is ollldddd

Not degraded or anything but just old

[obtuse pewter]

this is the real las vegas that the locals see not just the casinos its beautiful

[terse sluice]

yeah I'd love to visit an area like that

I've really only seen the more forest style ecosystems

I think ecology is a second passion of mine

[obtuse pewter]

interesting

[terse sluice]

Perhaps why Dartmouth appeals to me, it's commitment to sustainability and closeness to the environment and all

[obtuse pewter]

see i liked that but combined it with business + big tech

i wrote about right to repair on my application

[terse sluice]

Idk I've never really had a formal opportunity to study in; yknow inna very rural and comparatively underfunded school

Oooh I wrote about right to repair but not for any of my essays

[obtuse pewter]

ahh i get ya

[terse sluice]

For a Rhet and Comp paper

Was probably one of my favorite papers to write

[obtuse pewter]

i opened my darty essay talking about fortnite

[terse sluice]

man I don't even wanna ready my essays

I feel my writing had matured so much even just in a few months since I wrote my essays

[obtuse pewter]

no literally looking back on it now i want to rewrite them

[terse sluice]

It's so embarrassing to read now 🤣

[obtuse pewter]

ill post mine for a few secs if you wanna take a look

[terse sluice]

fr

[terse sluice]

sure

[obtuse pewter]

this was the be yourself, introduce yourself prompt

[terse sluice]

I like that quite a bit actually; a very personal introduction to you which relates your upbringing to your potential spot in Hanover

[obtuse pewter]

yeah that's what i thought!!

[terse sluice]

yeah I don't even remember what j wrote

I do like that more, almost letter-like feel

[obtuse pewter]

i wanted a letter/note on the door feel

[terse sluice]

yeah I think you nailed that :)

[obtuse pewter]

for the why dartmouth i wrote

i didn't like that last line

but i didn't know what else to write

[terse sluice]

thats nice too, moreso a posed hypothetical day for you at Dart

yeah I get that

I think I had something like that in one of my essays somewhere

You need something to end it but not sound tacky

[obtuse pewter]

exactly i feel like it was tacky

[terse sluice]

I focused on the CS program, Dartmouth's closeness to the environment, and their response to the Israel Palestine issue (holding public forums to discuss it instead of "attacking" one side or the other, like other Ivies did)

some how mentioned all that in like the 100 word limit

However long the Why Dartmouth? was

[obtuse pewter]

dude that's sick

i love that idea

[terse sluice]

that's comforting :)

am on my phone in bed rn otherwise I'd probably dig up my essays as well

[obtuse pewter]

here's my last one (in what ways do you hope to make an impact?)

[terse sluice]

I like that mission

The hook/intro is definitely different but I think it leads well into the rest of your essay

I like the statistics near the end, that highlights the jarring issue which is present

[obtuse pewter]

thanks haha

hopefully my regional AO liked it

[terse sluice]

yup

idek about regional AOs when I applied or when I submitted additional info

wish I did

[obtuse pewter]

i met my regional AO in person

[terse sluice]

would have reached out in some way

[terse sluice]

Oh that's killer

[obtuse pewter]

she was fire

but tbf i looked like a dumbass munching on chips

[terse sluice]

lmao

[obtuse pewter]

and asking questions about food

[terse sluice]

I think your set; you seem to have everything down

[obtuse pewter]

except class rank

62/347 is definitely gonna hurt with 7 APs

at a competitive tech school

[terse sluice]

yeah ig you can't deny that

my school is super small and so there was much competition for me 💀

[obtuse pewter]

hopefully this part shines through though

i know that i have the highest test score applying from my school

[terse sluice]

I'm 1/63 tied with 4 others but only because rankings are based on UW GPA

[obtuse pewter]

ahh

[terse sluice]

If there was W GPA I would be miles above everyone else lmao

[obtuse pewter]

our wGPA is scuffed

[terse sluice]

I have a full Associates degree of dual enrollment classes with A's in all of them

[obtuse pewter]

ooooooooh

[terse sluice]

If they accounted SAT alternatively I'd also be 1

[hazy jackal]

dartmouth

plz accept me,

[terse sluice]

^

[hazy jackal]

bugga

if we make it we're doing a dartmouth ski trip

[obtuse pewter]

shoot i got my skis in my closet can i join

[terse sluice]

I would shake on that if we were in person

Sounds gas

[hazy jackal]

wait do u guys ski or snowboard

i snowboard.

[obtuse pewter]

ski

[hazy jackal]

this may be a problem

[obtuse pewter]

i got a little bit of steeze though

[hazy jackal]

i cant ski actually

[terse sluice]

Well I mean I tried to learn to snowboard when I was like 10

[hazy jackal]

itll be a plan 😈

[terse sluice]

And then moved and never bought new gear

[hazy jackal]

o

i used to skateboard as a kid so i thought snowboarding would be easy

[terse sluice]

I've only gone skiing like once but i caught on the first time I went down

[hazy jackal]

(nothing alike)

[obtuse pewter]

i hit climax at mammoth

[terse sluice]

I can skate though so I have the balance part down

[obtuse pewter]

and ate shit

[hazy jackal]

i think everyone gets hurt their first time

i remember i sprained my knee and hurt my elbow the first time i snowboarded

[hazy jackal]

never been heard about it

im from east coast so its a long way

[obtuse pewter]

it's the double black at the top of mammoth mountain

[hazy jackal]

oh brother

yeah no wonder why u ate dirt

[obtuse pewter]

i hit cornice too but that wasn't too bad

this weekend when i go up i wanna hit all these

[hazy jackal]

lemme think of the steepest ive done

[terse sluice]

🏂⛷️🎿

[hazy jackal]

yeah ive heard the place is huge

that sounds so much fun bro

[obtuse pewter]

i've hit dave's climax, and cornice

[hazy jackal]

i went up on headwall @ aspen

i went up and said hell na

[obtuse pewter]

LMFAO

yeah no way not with those exposed rocks + trees

when i hit climax it was on a record snow season so nothing exposed

[hazy jackal]

yea na i went in spring LOOL

i was cooked

exposed terrain doesnt scare me besides big trees

rocks and cliffs to me are fine

[obtuse pewter]

exposed terrain scares me

[hazy jackal]

definitely scary for the first time

still is

[obtuse pewter]

cliffs scare me cuz i cant land properly

[hazy jackal]

ohh

for me landing was kinda easy to learn

i rode dirt bikes as a kid so the principle of landing has transferred

[obtuse pewter]

i cant ride a bike

[hazy jackal]

love motorcycles

why not

[obtuse pewter]

dont know how

[hazy jackal]

like normal bicycles though?

bc i cant ride a normal bicycle it actually scares me more than a motorcycle

[obtuse pewter]

yep

i literally don't know how

never learned

[terse sluice]

honestly my dartmouth essays arent as bad as i thought

i think my worse essay is honestly my CommonApp essay 💀

i really do not like it, but i smile at my dartmouth essays

[modern ruin]

How did you start your introduce urself

I said my name is [fullname] but you can call me [firstname], do NOT call me [common nickname]

I know its plain but it makes me smile

[spice jungle]

anyone wanna read my darty essays lol i need someone to humble my expectations fr

[spice jungle]

this is so real

[gritty berry]

i got you

[floral raptor]

lmfao common biggreen10 W

[spice jungle]

[sonic epoch]

Sure

[terse sluice]

which one was that? I have 3 essays: "Why Dartmouth?", "There is a Quaker saying: Let your life speak. Describe the environment in which you were raised and the impact it has had on the person you are today." and "Celebrate your nerdy side."

[modern ruin]

Ohhhh

Wait was it a choice

That makes sense then nm

[terse sluice]

i guess so

[modern ruin]

My why dartmouth was cheeks ngl

So stereotypical

[terse sluice]

this was mine, lmk if it is good, i didnt really have anyone else read my essays

[modern ruin]

Dm me

Ppl dont usually send in here

[neat elm]

same

[spice jungle]

i wish dartmouth still had the quote about William Kamkwamba i love that guy

[zealous grail]

No

[modern ruin]

Ur abt to get yelled at for portal astrology

[floral raptor]

no portal astrology

[floral raptor]

🫡

[slow palm]

HAHAHA

Halucinatiing!!

[floral raptor]

not allowed on this server tyvm

[slow palm]

Oh I did not know

Sorry everybody

[spice jungle]

ppl be like:
"omg my link is green, green means accepted! I'm so in!!!"

[neat elm]

"technically, everyone who were accepted had a green link in previous years" /s

[spice jungle]

achktually not before when it was all paper

[modern ruin]

My portal doesn’t look like that am i cooked?

[toxic summit]

HAHAH this made me laugh

[toxic summit]

if it's written in red then that means u got rejected

if it's yellow, then deferred

waitlisted* not deferred

[modern ruin]

Mines purple is it over?

[toxic summit]

no you got in

you're special

they just forgot to send the likely letter

[sudden marten]

You got Grimace Shake scholar :0

[spice jungle]

cant tell if trolling or not lmao

[primal harbor]

dartmouth was my best interview

we met in person WHCIH was great

2 hrs of talking abt the most random shit

but i dont even wanna go there nor will i getin

[toxic summit]

that's so nice omg 😭

one of my interviews was through a phone call

i was literally eating dinner during the interview 💀

[sonic epoch]

this is insane I could never

[tender sinew]

Bros casual asf

[toxic summit]

every time i was chewing i'd cover the microphone with my hand

[sonic epoch]

what school

[spice jungle]

i had dinner with my interviewer 💀

unironically

[toxic summit]

duke 😭 😭

[stark lark]

rude

[spice jungle]

my interview was at like a restaurant for either a pretty early dinner or a late-ish lunch

it was a win

[sonic epoch]

NAHHH

[spice jungle]

the royalty at duke aint gonna like this one

[stark lark]

then why did you apply? Why don't you want to go?

[sleek reef]

biggreen dont worry

[modern ruin]

Im trolling

[sleek reef]

according to a sample size of

well

1

people are DYING to get into dartmouth

[spice jungle]

make it 2

darty my last chance fr its so over

[primal harbor]

i applied cuz my couneslor said i had nothing to lose, and my best friend got in ED

so i applied if i did get in i would consider going to be with him lol

[crimson spade]

2 days!!

[modern ruin]

Make it 3

[crimson spade]

I feel chill for some reason idk

[crimson spade]

Huh

[sudden marten]

Dude, you are applying to an ivy as a funsies?

[modern ruin]

Theyre sayin how many ppl are dyin gto get in

[toxic summit]

make it the number of ppl in this thread

[modern ruin]

Alot of ppl do that

[sudden marten]

:C

[spice jungle]

my interviewer said nobody last year deferred got in and i feel like that cant be true

[toxic summit]

was she perhaps referring to only the students that she interviewed

[spice jungle]

perhaps

i think the words he used where nobody last year who was deferred was "considered" in regular decision or something

that is what had me thinking it was everyone

idk tho

[stark lark]

they would have no idea about that

[edgy glen]

! Dartmouth

!ivyday

[steady star]

Idk the chances of getting rejected from all eight of my reach schools coming out on Wednesday and Thursday

[spice jungle]

does that sound possible tho 🤔

[steady star]

Dartmouth I feel like I got a better chance then most of my reaches

[stark lark]

Everyone who gets deferred gets considered again

that'ss the point

[spice jungle]

i feel like its gotta be pretty damn hard to get in after being deferred

[crimson spade]

ik for some schools (i.e. Stanford and usc) their deferred have a higher rd acceptance rate than rd itself so

[stark lark]

Just as hard as applying rd

[dense violet]

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-takes/2024/03/26/dartmouth-doubles-income-threshold-free-tuition

Based

If any of y'all actually get in then y'all are gonna get an even bigger finaid package than expected

Actually now that I look at it more

It's even better than "free tuition"

Because what they're actually doing is doubling the threshold for $0 parent contribution

Which includes expenses for room and board, personal expenses, etc.

So in essence they've increased the threshold for a full ride to $125k

Based

[sleek reef]

So what youre saying

Is dartmouth

Is the best ivy?

[wild path]

actually it means they have a lot of money to give

which could make them

the greenest

becasue yk money is green

and also trees.

[sleek reef]

Mhmm

Whats rd ar?

[dense violet]

Huh, the threshold is even higher than Princeton's

So now Dartmouth arguably has the best financial aid out of any university at least for middle income students

Insane

[floral raptor]

shit i should've applied

[sleek reef]

Ill do that depressing math now

[main canyon]

!ivyday

[left forge]

you've got me dude

[stark lark]

yup

[modern ruin]

I know having no interview is availability but woudl not having one still regardless hurt me

[stark lark]

no

[sleek reef]

Most things with college admissions are "it wont hurt you", but effectively "it will benefit those who do"

[modern ruin]

I wanna email the admissions officer and just beg him (im not going to)

[cedar elk]

how do they define middle income tho

especially for intl

[stark lark]

the line was raised from 65 for no parent contribtion to 125

so a massive increase

[spice jungle]

wym

[toxic summit]

now darty is #1 for finaid packages 🔥 🔥 🔥

[terse sluice]

just gotta get in now 😎

[toxic summit]

it's completely cost free if ur income was $100k or less at pton, $85k(?) or less at stanford and harv, and $80k or less for usc

and then $75k for yale iirc

[toxic summit]

not me making fun of dartmouth for being in the middle of nowhere but telling my interviewer that since i'm from a rural area dartmouth is def somehwere i'd feel at home 🥰 🥰 🥰

[terse sluice]

that is pretty much what i said lmao

"im from a super rural area so i would feel at home"

[toxic summit]

HAHAH

gotta do what u gotta do 😤

[terse sluice]

well i do truly believe that, but i do understand that it is remote compared to toher schools

that is kinda why i like it

big cities are only so nice

[granite ether]

i said that dart would provide me a chance to reconnect with my disconnected ethnic minority upcoming

with how rural it is

[toxic summit]

oh fsfs

[thorny relic]

omg hi yoon

[stark lark]

so really left them in the dust

[thorny relic]

that's crazy omg

WWW

[terse sluice]

yeah Dartmouth #1 💚 🤍

[toxic summit]

i just kinda threw this during my interview but i talked abt the new hampshire caucus and how accessible it would be to attend if i go to darty

[toxic summit]

HII 🫶

[stark lark]

NH doesn't have a caucus

[thorny relic]

HIII

[stark lark]

it has a normal primary

[toxic summit]

that's kinda what i was inferring

[stark lark]

got it, still... there is nowhere to "go"

[toxic summit]

yeah i shouldve been more precise with my wording LOL

[stark lark]

all the candidates do come to campus

I bought Bill Clinton a tuna melt when he and Hilary were in town

in 2008

[toxic summit]

wait that's so cool what

😭

[stark lark]

yah

and when obama came to speak it was pandemonium

like 5x tghe number of peple showed than were expected

[toxic summit]

i can imagine oh my goodness

third photo

[toxic summit]

💀 💀 you cannot walk in there

[stark lark]

no, i watched out the window in a stairwell of a dorm

[toxic summit]

that's still epic WOW

i wonder how many ppl talk abotu this in their dartmouth eessays

[spice jungle]

got covid rip

i feel like its just the universe balancing out the scales of good and bad for when i get into dartmouth

right? (crazy cope)

[terse sluice]

YES

[primal harbor]

i like the school

but the vibe of the school gives summer camp

[stark lark]

certainly during sophomore summer it has that feel

winter term doesn't feel very summer camp 😄

[sleek reef]

Could you hypothetically minimize time on campus in the winter with how they have the quarter system?

[terse sluice]

feeling very confident in my dartmouth application after listening to Dartmouth' most recent Admissions Beat podcast https://admissions.dartmouth.edu/follow/admissions-beat-podcast

(S5E9)

especially comforting considering I'm a middle-income student at a low-resourced, small, very rural school

which they talk a lot about in this

[sleek reef]

Bud just wait 28 hours

[terse sluice]

????

[sleek reef]

Like, confidence is great and all... but idk

[terse sluice]

I think you may be missing my point....

[regal flare]

dont get your hopes up

[sleek reef]

its not rare to be from a low-resourced school

[terse sluice]

I am not saying I am special and am going to be accepted beccause of these factors

I am just saying I felt like I was a less competitive applicant because of these disadvantages, but this podcast episode says I'm not at all

context is everything

[sleek reef]

Yeah, thats a fair point. its why I submitted a 1490 to places where it fell below the 25th percentile

[terse sluice]

my school avg is sub 1000 and so, comparatively, a 1450 (my score) is incredibly impressive

that is like 4 standard deviations above the mean 🤣

assuming a standard deviation for a normally distributed scoreset is 100

idk what it is

[sleek reef]

same logic, school average is in the 1040s, im a 1490

[silk hedge]

idt i even did the last two

i dont remember why but idt i did

[spice jungle]

on your portal it'll still show u

odd

idk

[terse sluice]

@spice jungle what was your question?

oh yeah

what is the name of the document for you

are those numbers unique to me?

[spice jungle]

same

its funny they use google drive lol

[terse sluice]

yeah

well the fact that it is the same means it is just some generic document

they probably got the information from some form idk

either css or idoc

[stark lark]

you could take two winters off, but you'd need to enroll in two summers

[elfin juniper]

im in disbelief that ivy day is tommorow

4 years waiting until this day wow

[sudden marten]

Lmao I just started in senior year so it was a shock

I was thinking of going to cc fully on 9 to 11th grade

[elfin juniper]

same I was gonna go to cc to get my associates cus I thought college would be too expensive for my family until my counselor told me about the aid schools gave

[sudden marten]

Truueee!!

[primal harbor]

so crazy how ppl dont know this

until they are told

like the amt of ppl ive talked to that r like "dont go into debt"

like college is free 😭

[terse sluice]

....

i wouldn't necessarily say that

it is really only these most prestigious schools with stupidly large endowments where college is "free"

literally anywhere else it can be a major financial burden on families

scoffing at people for not wanting to go into debt is honestly disgusting

[sleek reef]

Its going to be over tommorow lads, either safety school or current #1 choice (it will be darty bc 🙏 manifest)

delulu is the solulu

[elfin juniper]

darty went from the middle of my list to the top of my list like last week

[viscid perch]

I gave up

[spice jungle]

for me its safety, waitlist at williams, yale, or dartmouth

very scary

day of reckoning

[modern ruin]

For me its northeasern or dartmouth

[hoary wyvern]

How many of yall submitted the peer rec

[silk hedge]

I did

[hexed canopy]

submitted like late feb 😭

[sonic epoch]

not cooked

[hexed canopy]

I do not want to go to a school w a keg as their mascot so it’s all good

[primal harbor]

i did

[sleek reef]

Not the official mascot nlw

[zinc shadow]

waiting for ivyday is going to kill me

[gritty berry]

i didn't apply but i just wanted to say gl to everyone ik this shit is stressful asl
