<p>Also Since I have undecided major, do you think by choosing any major I can maximize my chances? Assume as I develop my choices, I can always chnage.</p>
<p>If you can give me some guidance/tips on the essays, would be a big help.</p>
<p>You definitely have a shot. I don't think the major thing makes a difference. For the essays, just be yourself; if you're funny, be funny, if you're serious, be serious. Hope to see you there next year!</p>
<p>Your test scores are high.....GPA seems pretty low though.</p>
<p>Hmm you're Asian. That justdropped your chances. jk. Major doesn't matter--make your essays personal...send in a picture of you doing something related to your essay. Make it quirky! I think they like that. It's Dartmouth. Def apply.
O do you like RobinHood too? He's my hero.</p>
<p>cinderelly, can you give me an example of the picture pls. i am a book reader.
my essay is mosly about reading experiences. some about physics!
what do you suggest? you sound very interesting</p>
<p>I don't know if I agree that majors don't matter.....in the summer, I was looking through Brown's website (and granted, this is obviously Dartmouth, but I think the same will hold true) and the same old thing was being said about admissions--you know, have a tough schedule, good ECs...etc etc....then there was this whole section on smaller aspects of your application which won't GET YOU IN, but will help. One of these aspects was your major, if you plan to major in something which is underrepresented at their school, or in society at large. Brown gave examples: a woman majoring in science (especially Chem and Physics...I think bc they're more research oriented than bio, and they're trying to encourage woman to get into research) has an advantage. Also, Brown has a great classics department but they pointed out on their website that there arn't too many classics majors, so choosing classics as a major gives you an edge. Now, I definitely don't think what major you choose will keep you out or get you in to a school, but I definitely think its something that could tip the scale. Good luck!</p>
<p>No luck this time huh. I love reading too. I wrote about reading for my Emory essay. I just used pictures as an example of something different you could do. I did mail in a picture, it was related to an essay competition I won and I also wrote a personalized letter to them, complete with a hand-decorated border. haha but I'm from an underrepresented state so that probably helped.</p>
