Dartmouth 2024 Applicants Discussion

@nhtigerdad Ok so maybe they released them in batches because I got mine yesterday.

Has anyone here not received the email?

My son received the email to submit mid year grades also. It was sent to his guidance counselor as well. This made sense as he will be the one to send them.

Is everyone receiving that email to request the mid-year report?

@pastygod no, but my guidance counselor submitted it a couple of weeks ago

So I guess the email is for anyone who has not submitted the mid-year report? But it’s still weird as the other colleges I applied didn’t send such reminders and the deadline for report submission is Feb 14th, which is still far from now.

@Cly2019 I applied RD in late November and interviewed in January. Don’t live in large city, interviewer came from other county.

@JF9 My tour guide at Dartmouth, white male, said he submitted only 1 subject test.

No, but my Dartmouth portal shows my midyear grades were received back on January 21. Colleges send notifications of missing items as deadlines approach.

I didn’t know a peer recommendation was recommended. I asked a friend to write it and gave her my password to submit it as an additional material after I submitted the application. However there is no check after in the portal.

yeah I had my interview on January 30 which is on the late side of darty interviews for RD

My interview will be this weekend. The interviewer emailed me to feel free to bring parent(s) and would answer parents’ questions after the end of the interview. What should I do?

Do you guys think that my chances are lower in getting accepted because I did not submit the optional recommendation letter?

no

Does the college inform you of the interview or does the alumni contact you on their own without any prior notification from the college? Is it normal for the alumni to call several applicants together and have a group discussion followed by a “brief” personal interview? Also, is it okay for the interviewer to promote himself and his personal work thru the interview email?

@OverseasFather I am in the U.S. Have had three Ivy League interviews - all three I was contacted by the alumni interviewer.

46 days until decisions! But who’s counting…

That’s depressing

Did they announce a specific date?

@JF9 March 26. Yale announced it with the portal (I think?) and we all assumed that all the Ivies would continue releasing decisions on the same day. Not sure why some are still being secretive.

Just got a video interview request today. Could it be a good sign receiving one this late?
