Dartmouth Application Questions

Hello everyone! In an article written by the Dean of Admissions (Lee Coffin) on Dartmouth’s website he says:

“Word “limits” on Dartmouth’s Writing Supplement are suggestions, not hard stops”

  • Is this true? Will Commonapp allow you to submit an essay with slightly more words than the limit?

Also, is anyone going to take advantage of the deadline extension to the 5th? I feel like Commonapp automatically won’t let us submit after the 1st as that is the deadline on there.

Thanks!

Yeah same question, will the common app even let us submit after the 1st?

Yes. You can apply late Jan 5
