Dartmouth 2023 Applicants Discussion

Hello! This thread is for people planning to apply to Dartmouth for the class of 2023. I know it’s early, but I think it will be great for current juniors to connect and ask any Dartmouth-related questions. Are any of you applying ED?

Hi!! I am planning on applying to Dartmouth RD. It’s a high reach for me, and I will most probably get rejected, but a kid can dream!

@holdenc12 If i apply I will apply RD too. My case is different because I have my heart set on another school for ED and for me I think out of all the ivy’s my favourite are cornell and dartmouth.

@saumyagoyal same! I am planning on applying to Yale SCEA even though I am gonna get rejected, haha. But I’ll feel better because at least I tried. I am beginning to fall in love with Dartmouth, too.

Hi all! I just recently got accepted into Dartmouth so if anyone has any questions about admission or wants me to give their essay a look, let me know!! I also applied to a few other ivies, so lmk if you need any advice :smiley:

@anxiouswreck Thank you!

Applying ED to Dartmouth fingers crossed!

Got rejected to everywhere, but Stanford and CSUN

I’m applying RD, hadn’t thought about it very much until recently and then I began to like the school a lot more.

Applying ED y i k e s

@screamingkettle @soph715 me too! good luck to both of you.

ahh im also applying ED!! it’s a reach but

@marccedon good luck! :slight_smile:

My daughter will be a freshman in the fall, I am happy to take a look at essays or answer any questions. Just PM me.

I will be applying ED :slight_smile:

@financekid123 same! good luck :slight_smile:

I wonder what desirable trait they are looking for this year :wink:

@financekid123 hopefully students with no hooks from california! lol

@anxiouswreck @oscar63 Do either of you think RD is that much harder of an admit than ED for an unhooked applicant? Our S19 is a strong candidate but has decided not to apply anywhere early. ED acceptance rates include the athletes and most legacies, so I’m hoping that applying RD isn’t necessarily a disadvantage.

@homerdog So sorry! Have not been on here in a while. Not sure, but they fill half the class at ED (500), there are ~ 100 legacies and maybe 100 athletes? not sure on the number of athletes. So, 300 ED slots left vs 500 in RD. Less apply ED so it might be around the same. Good Luck!
