<p>In this situation, I believe you will LOVE Dartmouth admissions. There are no “regional” admissions officers at Dartmouth. In fact, the applications are RANDOMLY given to various members of the admissions staff for evaluation. Thus, it is entirely possible and even probable that your files will be read by different people. Thus, you will be compared against yourself…and the rest of the ENTIRE applicant pool…specific HS to HS comparisons are not frequent at Dartmouth because of the way they set it up. Yale, Harvard, Brown, Columbia, etc, etc are not like this and actually do have regional reps, so I cannot speak for how it will affect your admission at those universities. Good luck, nonetheless!</p>
