Dartmouth College RD Class Of 2017!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Dartmouth College
281

<p>You wouldn’t know how to read.</p>

282

<p>@johnyenglish - You do realize that what your science textbook says at the high school level is actually a much simplified version of what is and what is not. :)</p>

<p>@GoodACT - you received a likely??</p>

283

<p>Order I will be checking:

  1. Dartmouth (I got a likely letter, so I want to start off on a good note)
  2. Harvard
  3. Brown
  4. Yale</p>
284

<p>I seem to be late to this party! I applied to Dartmouth as well! I graduated high school two years ago (pretty late, I know), dropped out of a college I didn’t like earlier last year, and am now working at a startup nonprofit thinktank that’s making strides in my home country! </p>

<p>Cheers, and I’ll be checking Dartmouth first.</p>

285

<p>@rishav That’s correct.</p>

286

<p>Checking Order:

  1. Brown (deferred ED)
  2. Dartmouth
  3. Princeton
  4. Yale
  5. Harvard</p>
287

<p>I’ll probably check:

  1. Harvard
  2. Yale
  3. Princeton
    The first one I get into (wishful thinking) will be my cue to stop. If I get into none of them (realistic thinking) I will stop anyways as I have already gotten into my fourth choice. I will check the rest after a day of mourning/rejoicing. Fun fun.</p>
288

<p>Assuming they all come out at the same time (which they probably won’t given delays):

  1. Princeton
  2. Dartmouth
  3. Brown
  4. Harvard</p>
289

<p>Princeton,
Datmouth,
Yale.</p>

<p>I’m sorta kinda basically expecting a Dartmouth acceptance. Using my epic chancing thing, I’ve found that I have a pretty good shot.</p>

<p>And I’m expecting a princeton rejection because of the way I’ve bungled my application. </p>

<p>So the progression will be “NBD”, then (hopefully) “Okay…I’m worth something” and then NBD again when I get rejected from my first choice college on the basis of the prior self-evaluation.</p>

<p>And if the plan fails (which can only occur if Dartmouth rejects me, because any other chance in expectations would be awesome), then I was going to be sad on the 28th either way.</p>

<p>I have it down to a cognitive science.</p>

290

<p>Philotivist, let’s hear about this epic chancing thing. I’m ever so curious.</p>

291

<p>nah, its rlly nbd</p>

292

<p>Hi everyone! Just stumbled on this thread. I’ll check mine

  1. Princeton
    2.Harvard
  2. Yale
  3. UPenn
  4. Dartmouth
    In order of increasing likelihood of acceptance</p>
293

<p>Starting to think Princeton > H. </p>

<p>My life has been a liiiiieeeeee.</p>

294

<p>^purely out of curiosity, what has given you that opinion?</p>

295

<p>I want to hear about your chancing thing too, Philovitist! I’d like to know why you’re so confident.</p>

296

<p>I’m going to do:

  1. Princeton
  2. Dartmouth
  3. Brown</p>

<p>All will be rejections so this list is based on who will be nicer about it. lol</p>

297

<p>@good
Princeton is starting to seem like a better fit (as if I could get into either lulz). Campus is nicer, dorms are perf, excellent CS program, least liberal of the Ivies, financial aid is lovely. And the ug experience. I hear it’s similar to an LAC’s? Yiiisss.
Idk about the AA community there, though.</p>

298

<p>Hmmmm an interesting perspective, thanks!</p>

299

<p>Going to be that loser and say all my colleges per alphabetical order.</p>

<p>So Carnegie Mellon first (it comes out on the 26th anyway), Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke… etc. </p>

<p>My (idiotic) attempt to be as objective about this as possible - can’t set yourself up with all your hopes on one or two dream schools.</p>

300

<p>Actually, I’m probably just going to check whichever one portal starts working first. I know Harvard actually email you so I can’t control when I receive that.</p>
