<p>I got one today, as well. I'm almost afraid Dartmouth made a mistake after seeing everyone's stats.</p>
<p>And I don't now if this was ever resolved, but if the letter says "very likely" instead of "no doubt" or any other stronger phrase, does that mean that it's "less likely" that they will accept me?</p>
<p>Wow...I know I'm not supposed to be waiting for these but really can't help running down to my mailbox once in a while. Crossing my fingers for today...</p>
<p>Did any international student post stats? Because I'm an international who lives in the States--just wondering if it is, as some people say, significantly harder to get into Dart with my citizenship status.</p>
<p>Good luck swissmiss!!! And everyone else still waiting. :)</p>
<p>Here are my stats, as per request:
Caucasian female from northern Idaho

1.5 years City Human Rights Commission (1st high school student ever on a city commission)

Various other stuff? (I have volunteered for a lot of random things, won small awards, etc.)</p>
<p>Essays-good
Recommendations-one good, one excellent
Interview-went VERY well</p>
<p>But remember, ultimately, the admissions process is very individual--it's all about what makes you unique. Once again, good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Thanks, EmekChris and Cygne!<br>
If you read a totally insane post from me, you'll know that I got in. My sister would go crazy too, b/c she says D is the best college in the world!!!!! :)</p>
<p>^ thks for the intro :D i'm glad to contribute to the glorious list of acceptance from Singapore lol</p>
<p>Basic stats as requested (detailed stats can be found using a simple search of my posts):
SAT I: 750 CR 780 M 800 W (2330 - one sitting)
SAT II: 780 M2 760 M1 740 Ch 730 Ph (all 1st time, except Ph)
A level: Predicted 7 distinctions out of 7</p>
<p>ECs: OK. Didn't save the world or anything but leader of a few clubs, organized some major events. I'd say the list looks somewhat well-rounded.
Awards/Prizes: No international Olympiads, but pretty well rounded as well. </p>
<p>Essays: I like them (and i'm a tough critic), but i won't say they're extraordinary. All exceeded word limit (like badly) but won't encourage anyone to do the same.
Recs: Decent. Counselor's better than the other two. 1 extra rec from Vietnamese teacher - she loves me and it was arguably the best out of three, 2 page long.
Interview: None. No interviewer in my home town :(</p>
<p>Financial aid: Yep. Expected to get full aid, but i'm not too sure.
Intended major (not sure if i indicated this on my app though): Political science.</p>
