I sent 7 items to DARTMOUTH for wait list candidacy -
- A Level Grades
- High School Diploma Certificates
- Activity & Awards Update
- Essay - Why Dartmouth?
- Counselor’s LOR
- Athletic’s Coach’s LOR
- Research Mentor’s LOR
Still they are killing my hopes…
If someone else from my school is already going to Dartmouth do you think my chances are slim? I think they might defer for a year but I’m not sure.
Oh my goodness, I got a call today from Dartmouth offering me admission. Cannot believe it! Good luck to everyone; I am rooting for you!
@christinabae, Congratulations and good luck at Dartmouth! Which college did you give up ?
@Giveback Emory University, scholars program! Thank you!!
@christinabae congrats! As of right now I am going to Emory university, too. Have fun at Dartmouth 
Does this mean they’ve finished the current “wave”, or can we still expect offers?
That is, do they sent out all the offers at once, or it’s a more deliberate process?
christinabae, can you please tell us what materials did you sent to dartmouth for wait list supplement. So that we can get a brief idea of it
There are no waves. At this point they are filling holes that meet the institutional mission. Please learn to love the school where you have been admitted. I promise in a year you will be happy there and all of this will be a distant memory. If you get off the waitlist it is all good, but don’t wast another moment worrying about whether or not they are going to call you.
Sure, sure, but we can expect offers today?
Can we still expect offers next week?
So, Dartmouth recently released the data 1150 students accepted offer of admission! Does anyone know how many people will Dartmouth be accepting off the waitlist?
@DKAKJKNS I am a pianist, so a piano professor from Dartmouth recommended admission after hearing my supplement. The counselor & alumni interviewer also sent their recs to the office. Lastly, I wrote a handwritten letter to them early May and also called them once. Hope this helps!
Thanks @christinabae. Thanks a lot! Enjoy at Dartmouth coz I’m coming next year to you. Till then, let me enjoy in PennState. All the best for your future…
“The College has admitted 93 students from the waitlist, and the admissions office is using the waitlist to ensure the Class of 2019 is the size it wants, admissions director Paul Sunde wrote in an email. He wrote that admissions expects to enroll about 20 transfer students.” http://thedartmouth.com/2015/05/28/yield-decreases-to-50-4-percent-consistent-with-most-years/
Okay. That really crushed the hopes. Does it mean that all the 93 students have been offered admission already? Just making sure
I read it as meaning that 93 have been admitted/accepted, but it does not sound as though they are necessarily done. I would not give up hope, but I might not have my parents chill a bottle of champagne. Good luck.
Ah man. That doesn’t really sound like there is much of a chance now…
Guys, I got in!!! So hyped right now. I am an international student so I thought I didn’t get a chance but here I am. Keep your hopes up guys and good luck to all of you!
What time of the day did you receive a call or via email?
