Hi! I’m a current junior and over spring break I visited Dartmouth and went on a formal tour for the first time. My mom is an alum, so I’ve been to the campus before (a few years ago), but I completely fell in love again. I want to major in political science, government, or international relations and being in NH would be incredible during the 2018 midterms and 2020 presidential election. I am interested in applying ED for the Class of 2022 and hope that I can get a rough feel for my chances. Thanks so much!!
