<p>I don't know if this is right but my counselor called the Admissions Office today and told me that Dartmouth received over 14,000 applications this year and they're planning on only accepting about 1,600 students. Can anyone confirm this?</p>
<p>Your GC is correct.</p>
<p>*Nearly 14,000 high school seniors submitted regular decision applications to Dartmouth this year, a 10 percent increase over last year's number, according to the Undergraduate Office of Admissions.</p>
<p>The official number of total applicants is currently unknown, however, because many applications come in late or are still missing components. Undergraduate Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Karl Furstenberg estimates the final number of applications will surpass 14,000.</p>
<p>*</p>
<p>Early decision:</p>
<p>On Dec. 8, 398 high school seniors received their first present of the holiday season when their early decision acceptance letters from Dartmouth College arrived in the mail. The students -- 199 males and 199 females -- represent an exceptionally talented group of the country's most qualified high-school students, according to the Admissions Office.</p>
<p>"We have gotten a really great start on the class of 2010," said Karl Furstenberg, Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid. Thirty percent of the applications were granted admission, filling nearly one-third of the future freshman class. </p>
<p>Dartmouth accepts about 2170 students to yeild a class of approx. 1075</p>
<p>398 admitted ED
500 were sent likely letters stating that they will be admitted to the class of 2010 (htere are threads on likely letters)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dartmouth.edu/%7Eoir/pdfs/CDS2005_2006.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.dartmouth.edu/~oir/pdfs/CDS2005_2006.pdf</a>
approx 1772 (including the 500 likely letter recipients) will recieve admissions letters at the end of the month.</p>
<p>1272 students who have not received a likely letter will still be admitted.</p>
<p>Nice numbers! I am more optimistic now. :-)</p>
<p>. The RD admit rate - taking into account that a fraction of those in the RD pool are ED deferreds who are admitted at a higher rate than "normal" RD applicants - will probably be around 11%. When you consider that between 500-600 in the RD pool will have received likely letters, this means that only 5-6% of the "normal" RD applicants will be admitted - assuming Dartmouth can count on a 60% + yield rate for those romanced via the likelies.</p>
<p>since when are deferred form early decision applicants admitted at a higher rate than rd applicants? i was told it was approx. 10% for deferees and 11ish for rds</p>
<p>10-11% is about right overall.... but remember: that includes the 5-600 already admitted (wink-wink) via likely letters.</p>
<p>Byerly is right</p>
<p>that is the most depressing thing i've read all day. :(</p>
<p>I'm done. This is even more selective than Harvard, isn't it ? Thursday is gonna be an ugly day. I am now sure that I won't get in.</p>
<p>This is hopeless :(
yeah I totally agree that this Thursday's gonna be reaaaaly ugly</p>
<p>well despite common thought, we just got the numbers for internationals and it seems that we are admitted at a 17 % rate so not too bad....I'm relatively potmistic. i guess they accept more cause they know the yeild will be lower...I dunno.</p>
<p>optimistic sorry.*</p>
<p>so byerly/slipper...what would that mean the acceptance rate is for non-likely letter, rd applicants? I'm nervous to hear your response, but oh well</p>
<p>I disagree with some of the above percentages. I think that the RD accept rate is closer to 13%. And the non-likely letter accept rate would be close to 8%. Those numbers are a bit better...not much...but some.</p>
<p>ew so i have a 9% chance of being accepted? sucks.</p>
<p>what would you estimate the admit rate to be of every kid with a ~2300 SAT (2270-2330) and 4.0 GPA?</p>
<p>my guess would be about.. 15.7632%... anyone?</p>
<p>seriously only this thread could make me so upset with my sat score (if only i got that one math question right.. ARGH... lol)</p>
<p>I'm with ya</p>
<p>anyone have any idea about how many people will get waitlisted?</p>
<p>I'm pretty hopeless, too. I'd die of happiness if I was even wait-listed.</p>
<p>Same with me</p>
