<p>Got mine from the mailbox just now :D Again, I live in New Hampshire, so they should still be coming out in the next few days!</p>
<p>Where are you guys from and when did you send in your applications?</p>
<p>I'm from Massachusetts. I sent in my app like...a week before the deadline. Or less.</p>
<p>Congratulations guys, I'm highly doubting i'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!
It's a huge achievement to get a likely letter from Dartmouth, so congratulations!!</p>
<p>Im from PA, and I sent in my application about a week before the deadline.</p>
<p>My son got one today in the mail. We live in PA. He applied RD.</p>
<p>Rejected from Yale, Likely letter from Dartmouth</p>
<p>Jesus</p>
<p>AH, congrats guys! I didn't get one today, and I wouldn't be expecting one either. But I'm from DC area, maybe letters haven't gotten here yet? Ha, I can dream, right?</p>
<p>lol ducky i feel exactly the same way.. someone from my school got one today so they probably want me even less now lol but i still can dreammm</p>
<p>Yea...congrats guys.
I can still hope that maybe they didn't reach NJ yet..or that they just haven't read mine yet..hah.</p>
<p>TheDartmouth.com</a> | ‘Likely letters’ sent to relieve college tensions</p>
<p>500? Is that true? Dartmouth only has like a 1000 person class right?</p>
<p>^yup. which is why it's scary not to get one... :(</p>
<p>But...Dartmouth probably admits about 2000..so the majority of admits don't get one. But I'm still hoping that I get one. It would be such a relief...</p>
<p>For those who got them: what were your stats?
Yea..I know I'm being a pain...</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 i'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 leader...that kinda stuff</p>
<p>I don't think I really had any "hooks" per se, I mean my stats and ECs are strong and my interests are well-rounded and I suppose they liked it.</p>
<p>Holy crap, I knew nothing about these...well, here's hoping for one!</p>
<p>Private high school, non ranked
2340 SAT
800 800 790 SATIIs
3.9 GPA
Hardest Schedule: Five 5's on AP exams
Weak in school EC'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>
<p>Did ur status page change in any form???</p>
<p>I don'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. That's why I was so surprised to get something like this.</p>
<p>I received it today. I'm totally pysched because I didn't know about likely letters before.</p>
<p>Understand the real numbers:</p>
<p>--400 were admitted ED, that leaves 650 or so spaces
--yield is typically 50ish%
--the school yields less than 50% of LL letter candidates as many will also get into HYPSM and choose them
--50% yield includes the 400 admitted ED--a 100% yield</p>
<p>So do the math, lots who get in don't get LL's.</p>
