Ask a Dartmouth Freshman anything.

<p>How strong would you consider the English department, especially the Creative Writing program at Dartmouth?
I am considering between a Psychology and an English major, but it seems like English is not among the top 5 popular major there. Would listing English as the first prospective major, then, be an advantage or disadvantage in the admission process?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>Neither of those majors will really boost your application. Just put whichever you think better matches the interests you talk about elsewhere in your application. Undecided is also an option, if I recall. </p>

<p>FWIW, I applied less than a year ago and I can’t remember what I listed as my major on the application.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply, IvyIsGreen13</p>

<p>Does anyone know about the English department /Creative Writing program at D? I’ve read the list of courses and professors there, but what about the quality?</p>
