<p>Perhaps it's posted elsewhere, but I was wondering whether Dartmouth gives preference for applicants who apply ED. I know the acceptance rate is nearly double for ED, but isn't that skewed simply because athletes are in the pool?
And a random question: if you submit an arts supplement and it doesn't get a favorable evaluation, does it hurt?
Thanks so much guys</p>
<p>Well, for the first question, they say, on the website, that they don't prefer it if you apply ED and they won't give you an advantage. That is crap. Even though a large chunk of EDers are legacy, recruited athletes, ect., your chances still get boosted slightly. Not a lot, but for those lucky few, enough to tip them over the edge.</p>
<p>For the second question, if you are that confortable with your art to send it in, I am sure it will be good enough to impress them slightly. I doubt that sending in an "ugly" piece of art will not hurt your chances, but it won't hwlp them at all. I say, send in thw work.</p>
