Anyone get a likely letter from Dartmouth?

<p>@Panddaa - I got a likely letter yesterday, and I was contacted for an interview the day before. I don’t believe the alumni who do interviews actually know who got a likely.</p>

<p>I didn’t attend a Dartmouth summer program. I’m from California, got my letter yesterday,had my interview this past Thursday, but the letter was dated before my interview. I am not a recruited athlete or urm, nor do I have high test scores…</p>

<p>Way to go asianclaw! Did you have really unique ECs then?
Do you mind sharing your stats?</p>

<p>My standardized test scores are not spectacular by Ivy standards, and my extracurriculars are strong but not outstanding. I’m a white male public school student from Louisiana. I’ve done summer programs throughout high school but none at Dartmouth. Hope that gives some perspective lol. I did submit the Arts Supplement on bassoon though, that may have helped my application to stand out.</p>

<p>Received my letter yesterday. White male from New York suburbia. 4.0, salutatorian, class president, 2340 SAT, no ACT. Wooot! I have my interview this Saturday haha, i suppose I’ll be a bit more relaxed at this point. Now I have to visit!</p>

<p>have any international students got likely letters?</p>

<p>just got mine today. Indian-American (Asian) male, had my interview in early January. I think my interview went very well but i’m not sure if that factored in at all</p>

<p>? for those who received letters: when did you submit your app?
Thanks</p>

<p>@ pandaa-I am on the west coast in San Francisco and I haven’t gotten one, even though it is highly unlikely that i get one </p>

<p>For those who did get one congratulations ! Could you gives us some perspective to why you must have got them meaning did you excellent academic achievement or awesome extra curriculars</p>

<p>Received likely - 4.0 34 ACT student from Illinois, Questbridge Applicant :]</p>

<p>I submitted my supplement November 30th, and the Common App on January 1st (deadline).</p>

<p>As I understand it, likely letters are sent out in waves from late January to early March. This is for students who Dartmouth want to help them “round out” the class. There maybe something about you that they like, could be academic, could be geographic, or it could be that the Admissions office thinks that you would be a great fit for Dartmouth. The likely letter sends a not-so subliminal positive message to the student early to attract the student to Dartmouth, because once the student is accepted at other schools the shoe will certainly be on the other foot. There will still be over 1500 acceptance letters going out, so hang in there everyone.</p>

<p>Did you guys get it through e-mail or mail?</p>

<p>a letter in the mail.</p>

<p>Does everyone typically get them at the same time or might they come to some later in the week?</p>

<p>I got a likely (in the mail)! And I am an Asian male from Cali. </p>

<p>I don’t really know why I got one, because I don’t think I have any great hooks (mediocre SAT, EC’s, etc.) but I am thrilled nonetheless!</p>

<p>Applied just a few (I think 3) days before the deadline.</p>

<p>got the letter. URM. SAT 2110. GPA 4.0 excellent EC.
I give God all the glory</p>

<p>I got mine Monday night. 3.95, ACT 32, excellent ECs. Lots of community involvement. Native American / Caucasian from OKC OK</p>

Much success medicaljob1
Congrats again to all those who received letters:)</p>
