2009 Official Dartmouth College Transfer Thread

<p>It was the 14th last year. I would say either a week earlier this year, Czar or the same week again. Best of luck!</p>

<p>ug, waiting and waiting… i don’t have any ivy decisions yet.</p>

<p>Thanks, Stewart. Good luck to you as well!</p>

<p>Hey guys, just wondering…if (in the unlikely case that) I’m accepted as an incoming junior this coming fall, when will I need to complete my compulsory summer term? This summer, or the next? </p>

<p>Coz the summer term is usually reserved for rising juniors.</p>

<p>Hi June - the answer is yes, you will still have to complete a compulsory summer term. They give you the option of the upcoming summer if you would like it - but I think it would be better to do it the following year. I wish you luck, June.</p>

<p>You don’t have to do the summer term, although I HIGHLY recommend that you do so (starting the June/July right after you matriculate). It’s a good way to get really close to your classmates.</p>

<p>Jrrrmph, are you sure you don’t have to do the summer term? I have spoken with a few from admissions that said that it is still required of transfer students before graduation. The only thing I can remember being waived is the swimming requirement, and I think the English requirement?</p>

<p>Stewart, you’re correct. Jrr, as usual, doesn’t have a clue. Does anyone know where it is he really goes? Clearly it’s not Dartmouth!</p>

<p>Wrong on both counts hmom5. Although, I do appreciate your pathetic attempt of a retaliation for outing you on that thread.</p>

<p>To my main man stewartudall, I’m not sure what the admissions officers say, BUT I did see the exact D-Plan of one of my friends (a '10 transfer who just came in last fall) and he does not have to be on this summer (just the 6 quarters that comprise the ‘normal’ academic years). In the worst case scenario, you can just say that you cannot be on in the summer for whatever reason. Many people (not transfers) do not take their summer terms anyway.</p>

<p>So yes hmom5, you’re wrong. And I know that you based your reply off of the fact that stewartudall called the admissions officers, EVEN THOUGH it’s painfully obvious that you did not do the research yourself. There’s a difference between the rules, and what is actually accepted in practice (the de facto). Alcohol is illegal, but you wouldn’t seriously tell me that the students at Dartmouth do not drink? Downloading is also illegal. You get the picture.</p>

<p>Do you actually have a friend jrr? Your obnoxious posts lead me to believe you would be hard to like. Your posts today on the Dartmouth board cement that for me. There is a pathology here that a few posters share. The have no real knowledge of much of anything, do not attend a college or have anyone close who does, but post with an authoritative air anyway.</p>

<p>The last thing I have to say to you is this jrr, from the many Dartmouth alum and current students I know, they choose NICE people. Try being nice for any real shot.</p>

<p>hmom5, it’s one thing when you’re a fellow 19 year old student who still has a lot left in his life. It’s quite another when you’re 30 years older than me. You’re more than twice my age. Honestly, this is quite unbecoming of you. I write stupid stuff on the the Internet all the time. But guess what? I very much do not care. Do you get quite the trip when you own some 19 year old guy on the Internet? Office politics at Goldman Sachs just not doing it for you?</p>

<p>As a FIFTY+ YEAR OLD WOMAN, I think it is YOU who should be reexamining her life. And believe me. This is not a pwn, this is some real advice. Good luck to you.</p>

<p>come on kids, break it up.</p>

<p>The truth is jrr is not happy and have no friend in his real life at Dartmouth (or wherever he is at) and he wants to transfer out to Yale and Columbia.</p>

<p>The truth is Humboldt, you can’t win on the Internet. Exhibit A: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/dartmouth-college/698684-dartmouth-vs-nyu-ba-dds-program-vs-wash-u-full-ride-vs-northwestern.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/dartmouth-college/698684-dartmouth-vs-nyu-ba-dds-program-vs-wash-u-full-ride-vs-northwestern.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Now I’m just trying to figure out what’s funnier. The time you talked about being “so smart” that you hang out with hot girls, jocks, and cool people (as if anyone who is actually that “cool” would be so insecure to talk about things like that), or that other time when you mentioned your Biology Olympiad accomplishment perhaps due to a breeding insecurity (and when you asked me whether or not you should retake a 2200 SAT in order to transfer).</p>

<p>Now kid, I know what you’re thinking. You think that I actually care about all of this. But no, it’s funny as heck to see ludicrous comments by people like you and hmom5 who should really all take this less seriously. It’s the Internet.</p>

<p>k, so apparently according to Collegeboard…Dartmouth is supposed to notify transfer students by April 25th…go check your calender if you don’t believe me …</p>

<p>I had a dream I was in at dartmouth and I was working to help students pick an official mascot.</p>

<p>I can’t believe they don’t have one!</p>

<p>Hey Noobie that’s pretty interesting. Anybody call on that?? I wouldn’t mind hearing on Saturday :-p</p>

<p>yeah on dartmouth’s common data set, it says that transfers are notified apr 25th, yet judging from past dartmouth threads, seems to be mid-may</p>

<p>I called and they said</p>
