dartmouth "describe yourself" supplement

<p>i just sent in my preapp a few days ago. but i was just wondering how important the words that we choose are. what types of words did you choose and are u supposed to be creative?</p>

<p>anyone??????????</p>

<p>what do you think??</p>

<p>think about this ..they see 10000 + applications...what words
havent they seen....trustworthy, witty, leader etc etc
your not going to shock them ..but dont say anything too political:anarchist
or heavy religion such as agnostic..
and of course use spell check or dictionary..</p>

<p>here is order of importance
gpa
class rank
sat
sat2
ap courses
essay</p>

<pre><code>then way down the totem pole:
words to describe yourself
peer evaluation
alumni interview

i was once told the last two are only used if there are two candidates
tied for a final spot
</code></pre>

<p>gpa, uh huh
class rank, check
sat, good
sat II, yup
ap courses, got em
essay, yeah im writin one</p>

<p>am i in?</p>

<p>hey what bout ECs</p>

<p>ec dont show a million of them
whats important is a couple of leadership roles
pres french club..vice- pres of fbla etc
thats what they want to see leadership and that you stuck
with it 2,3 or 4 years</p>

<p>ex soph year german club
junior year treas of german club
senior year pres of german club</p>

<p>what this implies is you stuck with something and the other students
somewhat think you hot stuff since they voted you president</p>
