<p>Waah deferred. I tried so hard. Will post stats.
Btw my mom had actually checked and texted me during school. Imagine my reaction in the middle of an AP Euro exam :/</p>
<p>No problem, vlinny. It’s all very true. In fact, now is a good time to really find out some of the details about other schools that you may not have really discovered because you were so focused on your ED choice. I know that once I got rejected from my ED, I really took a look at all the little details in schools that I had already applied to, and some that I hadn’t yet looked at and then decided last minute to apply to after my ED rejection. I realized that because I had fallen so “in love” (or so I’d thought) with my ED school, it was preventing me from seeing some of the great things about other schools and falling in love with them too (especially at least one safety and one target. Falling in love with them is great because it leaves you with hopefully at least 2 great options come RD decision time). And now you guys (both deferred and denied) can get past that ultimate devotion to your ED school and start to see how great some other schools can be, too!</p>
<p>However, don’t start tonight or tomorrow. Take this next day or so to just relax and decompress. Have a nice family dinner and realize how lucky you are to still have your health and all the good things in your life. In the grand scheme of things, this one college rejection/deferral means very, very little.</p>
<p>Denied, unfortunately. Like many of you, I thought I had a strong application (35 ACT; weighted GPA above 4.5; solid EC’s), and while I am disappointed, I can’t wait to find out where the rest of the process takes me. To those who were accepted, I couldn’t be prouder of you; your acceptance was clearly incredibly well-deserved, given the dismal results the vast majority of us have endured. Dartmouth will always occupy a special place in my heart, but it’s time for me to move on. Thank you all for cultivating such a warm and supportive environment over the past few weeks. I truly don’t know what I would have done without you guys.</p>
<p>Thank you very much anon! Well, I actually am not that much depressed as others and am seeing the positive side of the rejection. Maybe Dartmouth is not the right one for me! I will surely take my time to find out other schools I like about, and hopefully I can get into one of them!
To those who are accepted, congratulations! You all deserve it. And to those deferred and denied(like me), there is a brand new road ahead to explore and that is also a very good thing!</p>
<p>Deferred. Inside I am devastated but am trying to be optimistic - maybe I’ll find a better fit school for me in RD. Congrats to those who got in!! Thank you all for being here on cc and wish you the best for the future :)</p>
<p>Accepted! Congrats to those who did also, and those who didn’t you will still do great things at great schools!</p>
<p>Denied. Oh well</p>
<p>Oh deferred! Hmm, time to move on eh?</p>
<p>Hey guys, 1/3 of ED applicants are deferred and 1/10 of them get acceptance later which means there are over 500 deferral and 50 of them get in. Am i Right???</p>
<p>Also can i send my December SAT for evaluation??</p>
<p>Leamas,
I wonder where you got those stats? is it published somewhere?</p>
<p>I’m just confused. Why would Dartmouth reject applicants with act scores of 34 and 35? I had a 35 on the act with over a 3.9 unweighted gpa and got rejected. Thought i would at least get deferred.</p>
<p>I read it dartmouth.edu it says one-third get deferred and 10% of them get accepted during RD evaluation. Defer and reject, what’s the difference? We denied and rejected alike all start to write more essays for more colleges. What do you think?</p>
<p>whitemountain14, who knows?</p>
<p>It just doesn’t make sense for them to be flat out rejecting kids with high test scores and gpas - what if their regular decision pool has a significant drop off as well? I would think they would have at least kept around people with good numbers in case their regular pool is smaller/weaker.</p>
<p>All we can do is move on, I suppose. I really wanted to get in, but a deferral is what I got. My chances are now even slimmer than before, but a chance is a chance.</p>
<p>Deferred 
I don’t think I’ve ever been more crushed in my life… I dont know where to go from here</p>
<p>It’s not all about scores or GPAs, but try to look at as the admissions missed out on letting some great students into the community! Personally my scores aren’t amazing, but I have passion for learning and community. I think it was my strong essays, recommendations, and ECs that got me in, not my numbers.</p>
<p>Can’t say I felt any different barvoets. It’s really just a downer like no other.</p>
<p>Deferred!!
Can’t complain, tho, I was expecting a rejection…</p>
<p>D got Denied too.
Congratulations to everyone who got in. Thanks Anon for the great post.</p>
<p>With these things there never seems to be a clear path to acceptance. Look at the 2016 ED stats and see all the kids with SAT I scores in the 2300’s that were rejected!</p>
<p>sometimes it has to do with keeping the demographic diverse</p>
<p>Again Congratulations and good luck to all!</p>
<p>All I can say is that I am grateful I wasn’t denied flat out… But I have no idea where to go from here now</p>
