its a set of questions that you get one of your friends who know you the best to fill out. you can find it online. this is a decisive factor in the admissions process.</p>
<p>
Is it? I didnt know… All of my international friends here are very wealthy, and i dont think any of them gets financial aid. maybe its just them. you might want to check with the financial aid office.</p>
<p>we are need blind for internationals.</p>
<p>Can you describe the East Wheelock Program in a nutshell? S received first mailing today and the description for East Wheelock was rather vague. Seems as if it is geared towards IR students…?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I am not completely sure about this one. I know that they are oriented toward creating an atmosphere of connectedness, etc etc. From what i’ve heard, there are cluster meetings, such as poker nights with professors, special dinners with distinguished guests, stuff like that. There are also four different buildings, Andres, Morton, McCulloch, and Zimmerman, and i believe one of those has affinity housing for international students. and some are substance-free.</p>
<p>Another question </p>
<p>How are the science departments of Dartmouth? I mean specifically the Computer Science and Biology departments</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I know the bio department is pretty legit. The Compsci department just updated its major requirements, but Ive also heard its pretty good as well.</p>
<p>Can you give us a brief rundown of your application to DArtmouth? Including SATs, ACTs, high school GPA and rank, classes you took in high school, any hooks you had (ethnicity, legacy, etc.), sports you played and any other extracurriculars?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for this!</p>
<p>You mentioned family income/status was a factor. My family is wealthy, we won’t need financial aid. But would my family’s wealth be a strike against me? It may seem weird, I know. I am always hearing of how the super-poor, high-GPA kids are the ones that Dartmouth wants rather than the really wealthy, equally-strong candidates.</p>
<p>Your family’s wealth will not hurt you in the admissions process. However, unless you are a developmental admit, your family having money will not help you in the admissions process either.</p>
<p>Do you know someone named Ellen?</p>
<p>How’s the greek life? Is it really a dominating factor of the social life at Dartmouth?</p>
<p>sorry, finals week, been busy
</p>

Classes: APs: Bio, Physics B, Lang, Lit, US history, World History, Env Sci, Calc bc, Psych, Euro history, Human geo (not in this order tho)
EC: Cross country, track, pianist for choir, science olympiad, key club, and a lot of volunteer work
Hooks: none</p>
<p>
Nope. Dartmouth is need-blind. and think about it, Dartmouth needs money, so why would not having to ask for financial aid be a bad thing? Theres a fair mix of those that are getting aid and those that arent.</p>
<p>
come on now, is this really necessary? i know a lot of Ellens, but this really isnt relevant</p>
<p>
Roughly 60 percent of the student population is affiliated, so since thats the majority, its a huge part of dartmouth. But is it a dominating factor? thats for you to decide. i know plenty of unaffiliated people that are happy. you can join the DOC, do a club sport, and dont have to go greek, if its not your thing.</p>
<p>Are you friends with any engineering majors? What can you tell us about their experience? Do they expect to go on to engineering jobs or do they all want to go to Wall Street?</p>
<p>Dartmouth has a reputation as the “friendliest” Ivy. Would you agree? Why or why not?</p>
<p>how does dartmouth know your family income if they are need blind? do they just assume based on asking for aid and by your parents’ occupations as listed on the common app, or do they see your official income info that is sent to the financial aid office?</p>
<p>i ask because my parents have very humble sounding jobs, but our tax bracket would not quite make me sound underprivileged</p>
<p>
Yeah. I know a couple upperclassmen who are engineering majors. I know that its a lot of hard work, and that you wont be able to double major. Also, its really tough to do if you plan on playing a varsity sport. I dont know what they want to do; i figure they would want to go onto more engineering afterward, since they are taking 5 years to complete the program. Your major doesnt realy matter for ibanking. just show that youre smart. so hard sciences, econ, math, engineering, all those are good to go for ibanking.</p>
