<p>Got mine from the mailbox just now :smiley: Again, I live in New Hampshire, so they should still be coming out in the next few days!</p>

22

<p>Where are you guys from and when did you send in your applications?</p>

23

<p>Iā€™m from Massachusetts. I sent in my app likeā€¦a week before the deadline. Or less.</p>

24

<p>Congratulations guys, Iā€™m highly doubting iā€™ll get one (I live in upstate NY so if I was going to get one I would have gotten it today) but hopefully I have a ghost of a chance at Dartmouth!
Itā€™s a huge achievement to get a likely letter from Dartmouth, so congratulations!!</p>

25

<p>Im from PA, and I sent in my application about a week before the deadline.</p>

26

<p>My son got one today in the mail. We live in PA. He applied RD.</p>

27

<p>Rejected from Yale, Likely letter from Dartmouth</p>

<p>Jesus</p>

28

<p>AH, congrats guys! I didnā€™t get one today, and I wouldnā€™t be expecting one either. But Iā€™m from DC area, maybe letters havenā€™t gotten here yet? Ha, I can dream, right?</p>

29

<p>lol ducky i feel exactly the same wayā€¦ someone from my school got one today so they probably want me even less now lol but i still can dreammm</p>

30

<p>Yeaā€¦congrats guys.
I can still hope that maybe they didnā€™t reach NJ yetā€¦or that they just havenā€™t read mine yetā€¦hah.</p>

<p>[TheDartmouth.com</a> | ā€˜Likely lettersā€™ sent to relieve college tensions](<a href=ā€œhttp://thedartmouth.com/2005/02/24/news/likely/]TheDartmouth.comā€>http://thedartmouth.com/2005/02/24/news/likely/)</p>

<p>500? Is that true? Dartmouth only has like a 1000 person class right?</p>

32

<p>^yup. which is why itā€™s scary not to get oneā€¦ :(</p>

33

<p>Butā€¦Dartmouth probably admits about 2000ā€¦so the majority of admits donā€™t get one. But Iā€™m still hoping that I get one. It would be such a reliefā€¦</p>

<p>For those who got them: what were your stats?
Yeaā€¦I know Iā€™m being a painā€¦</p>

34

<p>

</p>

<p>mine are:</p>

<p>1st or 2nd in class of 290ish, private MA high school
2380 combined SATs
800, 750, 750 SAT IIs
5 AP exams taken, score of 5 on each
rigorous schedule
national merit finalist</p>

<p>and a buncha leadership positions in clubs, most of them iā€™ve done since freshman year. Mock Trial Co-President, Chess Club Vice-President, Chairman of a Soup Kitchen program at my school, Freshman Orientation Program leaderā€¦that kinda stuff</p>

<p>I donā€™t think I really had any ā€œhooksā€ per se, I mean my stats and ECs are strong and my interests are well-rounded and I suppose they liked it.</p>

35

<p>Holy crap, I knew nothing about theseā€¦well, hereā€™s hoping for one!</p>

36

<p>Private high school, non ranked
2340 SAT
800 800 790 SATIIs
3.9 GPA
Hardest Schedule: Five 5ā€™s on AP exams
Weak in school ECā€™s (Captain of XC team, newspaper (non-editor), writing tutor, tour guide)
I really dedicated myself to a non-mainstream sport though, so maybe that tipped me in.</p>

37

<p>Did ur status page change in any form???</p>

38

<p>I donā€™t even know how to get to my status page. I never got a username or password in the mail or by e-mail or anything. Thatā€™s why I was so surprised to get something like this.</p>

39

<p>I received it today. Iā€™m totally pysched because I didnā€™t know about likely letters before.</p>

40

<p>Understand the real numbers:</p>

<p>ā€“400 were admitted ED, that leaves 650 or so spaces
ā€“yield is typically 50ish%
ā€“the school yields less than 50% of LL letter candidates as many will also get into HYPSM and choose them
ā€“50% yield includes the 400 admitted EDā€“a 100% yield</p>

<p>So do the math, lots who get in donā€™t get LLā€™s.</p>
