<p>this whole thread has been pretty funny to look at. but i just realized something. if you are a "columbia hopeful" then why are you so concerned about dartmouth anyway? :-P</p>
<p>if I were at dartmouth, I wouldn't want Columbiahopeful! to be there either</p>
<p>:P</p>
<p>dhh....real mature.....</p>
<p>I guess perhaps, you may have to stick it out at your "second-rate" UC school. Good luck buddy!</p>
<p>Haha, just about as mature as your posts.</p>
<p>edit: I applied to nine schools, so I'm set. Nice!</p>
<p>OH SNAP!! CH is throwin some comebacks!! watch out peeps! he/she is p.issed!!</p>
<p>W.E. I just deleted my last post. I am done with these boards. Obviously, people are stressed out with school work and decisions. This is just unproductive for everyone.</p>
<p>lol this is getting to be ridiculous</p>
<p>hahahhahahahaha</p>
<p>oh god this is great</p>
<p>lame..totally lame</p>
<p>Waitlisted! I wonder how big the waitlist is...</p>
<p>This is why no one got in......</p>
<p>A successful Dimensions weekend is credited with contributing to an unusually high yield for the Class of 2011, the Office of Admissions said. Out of 2,167 students admitted, 1,153 accepted the offers, marking an increase in yield from approximately 50 percent last year to 53 percent for the Class of 2011.</p>
<p>This year’s high yield has eliminated the College’s need to use its wait list and will likely reduce the number of accepted transfer students in an effort to compensate for the unusually large prospective freshman class.</p>
<p>Son of a gun ;/ sorry to hear that, CH and other applicants</p>
<p>Columbiahopeful!, while those stats are solid, they're hardly compelling for Dartmouth. I had similar to somewhat better stats was W/L and then rejected; and then rejected as a transfer the next year and was not nearly as indignant, especially for the transfer app. Besides, anyone interested enough to name their moniker after Columbia shouldn't be applying to Dartmouth in the first place.</p>
<p>What would 2011 have to do with us?</p>
<p>Security reasons?</p>
<p>The number of overall transfer spots is effected by the yield of the incoming class. If under enrolled, then transfers and wait-listed first-year candidates are looked at to fill the class. If normal yield, then Dartmouth will usually take about 30-40 transfers. If over-enrolled, there might only be a few outstanding applicants admitted.</p>
<p>Dartmouth never seems to under-enroll, therefore the acceptance rate ranges from about 5-15% usually. The last couple of years I believe the rate has been 12%, this year it will probably be 5% or less.</p>
<p>Slipper, not one person on this board has been accepted...isn't that odd.....</p>
<p>And very few waitlists as well. How many accepts are there, like 10 total? and those could be athletic recruits</p>
<p>A girl from my Top 25 LAC got in.....mediocre stats.....quadruple legacy.</p>
<p>Suck it up. You knew what you were getting into when you applied - it's Dartmouth, not some podunk school that accepts anyone with good stats.</p>
<p>That's what's difficult about applying to smaller universities/LACs. The transfer rate will fluctuate as spots are very dependent on people's actions, as opposed to larger universities which often reserve a certain # just for transfers.</p>

<p>I think this is meant for next yr's transfers. But I guess the yield for class of 2010, 50%, was brutal enough.</p>
