Dartmouth College Transfer Applicants 2018

I don’t understand why they admit so few.

@IndirectProofs I always figured they only admit the the amount of students that dropped out of the freshman class. For instance, if they enroll 1,000 students and after 2 years 10 drop out, then they will take 10 transfers to replace them. I also think they take transfers if the class is underenrolled. For example, if they want to enroll 1,000 in the freshman class, they accept like 1,500, but only 950 enroll. Then they will accept 50 transfers + however many dropped out. I think it’s all going to depend on how many students dropped out of the 2020 class, and if they underenrolled.

Hi all!

I’ve been scouring CC for a while to see if a Dartmouth 2018 Transfer thread had gone up. Thanks @IndirectProofs for making this happen!!

I’m glad to be involved in this forum as we all trudge through the waiting process. Best of luck to everyone! :smiley:

You’re welcome! It’s great to have you on the forum! :slight_smile:

@SmartJarhead That makes sense. I wonder if there is any way to predict how many they will accept this year.

Hey all!

A new article in The Dartmouth just went up this morning! It looks like theyʻre expecting a pretty high yield rate for the ʻ22s. Any thoughts/speculation on how this might correlate with transfer admissions?

@paulele24 I don’t think that will affect us. That’s going to affect those who apply to transfer into the 2022 Class. Our acceptance will be dependent on how many enrolled for the class of 2020, and how many left Dartmouth from that class.

@SmartJarhead you are correct but it does inadvertently impact us because of things like housing constraints etc. and both class 2020 and 2021 has very high acceptancesso space is going to be limited. If you look at the common data sets, transfer numbers have gotten less as acceptances have skyrocketed :confused:

Finally a Dartmouth transfer thread!! only a few weeks left guys!

I’m so nervous! Do any of you have a guess of when we’ll get decisions?

I think it’s usually May 5th or May 12th

where are you guys from? im a community college student in Southern California :slight_smile:

I’m in Arizona.

A community college in South Florida! Graduating this May so I might need a home this Fall :))

@kb199977 Ah ok! Let’s hope for the former :,)

@AGoodFloridian thats cool! im barely in my first year, I just graduated high school last June lol. I worry that they will reject me because of my lack of college experience, but who knows [-O<

Guys does it mean anything if we get the Dartmouth magazine ?

Everyone on this thread has got one from dartmouth right? Also when do the decisions come out?

@nifty50kd I didnt get a magazine, but I know that if you sign up for Dartmouth’s mailing list, they send you issues. and somewhere around May 5th or May 12th

@kb199977 Thank you, hope we all get in.
