Dartmouth 2023 Applicants Discussion

@wmbat265 your stats are great! You just never know exactly what they are looking for in a candidate. It has less to do what you bring to the table and more to do with what they need at that moment.

@harrya - Thank you. I am surprised as I thought I check and double checked… I updated with your corrected numbers. In the past there have been roughly 10% recruited athletes, so there may be more.

Thank you must be demographics

My daughter, a '13, does alumni interviewing for Dartmouth. This year she interviewed two applicants, and today she was happy to report that one of them was waitlsted. Unfortunately, the other was denied.

She really pulls for the applicants who impress her and has big hopes that they will get in. Last year she was beyond thrilled that one of her interviewees was not only accepted but also choose to attend. That was her first interviewee to get accepted.
