@gxssipgirl did you get into USC?
What’s everyone’s favorite thing about dartmouth ?(aside from its status as an ivy)
@erwinschrodinger “It’s status as an Ivy” is really a bad reason to choose a university!
@londondad You would certainly be surprised how many people are motivated to apply for that reason alone
It is not surprising, just depressing. The Ivy League is a sports conference!
londondad keeps saying that as if it means anything. It doesn’t The Ivies {as opposed to the Ivy League] are not a “sports conference”: they are an association of historical, like-minded, superlative schools. Nothing wrong with aspiring to go to one; nothing wrong with not getting in. Good luck to all of you waiting for Thursday.
Favorite thing about Dartmouth for this parent? The walk around Occom Pond. Followed by Murphy’s on the Green. Dang, I want a Murph burger right now !!!
@hoggy247 No i didn’t. Did you?
@gxssipgirl nope but I’m not a CA resident and I heard that’s a big deal!
@hoggy247 Me neither. I thought I had a really good chance there though…Now I’m really nervous to see the rest of my decisions. I hope we get in everywhere else, and hopefully an Ivy! 
What’s your major?
@gxssipgirl I’m not 100% sure yet, I want to double major so I’m trying to decide between like 4 majors! Haha what about you?? You get in anywhere yet?
I got rejected from UVA and USC…starting to convince myself that my chances at Dartmouth are basically zero 
@terr24lr honestly unless your a CA resident USC is almost as hard to get into as the Ivys. CA passed a law that caps the number of out-of-state students admitted so if you aren’t from CA your chances are very low! I got into Pepperdine but I heard that USC in addition to all the UC’s cap the number of admits not from Cali
@hoggy247 Umm USC is private too, isn’t it?
@PartyNextDoor I was told the law applied to all the UC’s and USC
USC is a private school, it is not one of the UCs.
@hoggy247 Ohh gotcha, that’s odd. Good to know, thanks!
@hoggy247 So far I’ve gotten into Bentley, Boston U, Northeastern, Babson. Waitlisted at BC. Rejected at USC. I’m a business major (finance or economics)! Where did you get accepted to so far?
@PartyNextDoor Yeah I read it on of of the UCLA or USC threads on here! As soon as I read it I was just like aw crap… Haha Dartmouth and Columbia are my number one choices but USC was in my top 5 so I was bummed
@gxssipgirl nice!! I was accepted to Pepperdine and UT Austin, rejected from USC and Johns Hopkins
@hoggy247 where did you get into?
