Dartmouth ED Applicant Discussion 2025

Still nothing for me either. Surely we’ll get an email soon! I live in the Southeast, what about you?

Yay! Best of Luck.

I live in the Northeast, just got my email! I heard from a friend that if you don’t receive an interview request until Thanksgiving, you can contact the college and request one. Though it’s not a required portion this shows a little more interest and action on your part, according to counselors!

I am also from the Southeast and have not received an interview! I’m hoping it comes soon!

@bobalove13 , you’ll get one soon I’m sure! Don’t sweat it. I think we’re officially less than a month away from decisions… absolutely crazy.

Being a month away is insane!! How are you all dealing with the stress of the decision? I literally cannot stop thinking about Dartmouth it’s becoming unhealthy LOL… Also, if any of you have done your interview drop the questions they asked/ your experience:)

I’m scared that I’m past the point of loving it like a dream school and now it’s just obsession… not really lol but maybe. I just trust that if I don’t get in, the admission officer truly thinks that I won’t be happy there and that’s very comforting. They have our best interests at heart, don’t get caught up in the statistics and chances of you getting in. No matter where any of us end up, we’ll be happy. And if we aren’t, we can always apply as transfers hehe

YES. Thank you @aghcollege .
Side note: I still haven’t gotten an interview so I don’t think that’s happening lol.
Has anyone else still not gotten an interview? I was reading an article on “The Dartmouth” and apparently many alumni who are parents of current students are upset about how the college is handling COVID so they stopped interviewing. Thus, I think there might be a lack of interviewers?

I am also an ED applicant and I have not gotten an interview. Sounds like they arent important at all, so I am not stressing. Dw abt it g

I had my interview today. I loved my interviewer, they were very kind and we had a great conversation. They mostly asked me about myself and what I’m involved in and why I like it. Also about why I like D. Most questions they asked grew from our conversation rather than being prescribed. Don’t sweat it if you aren’t offered an interview, it won’t hurt your chances at all.

Going off track from the current discussion but does it say in anyone’s application portal that the IDOC submission still hasn’t been downloaded yet? It says that the college received my CSS and FAFSA 2 weeks ago but nothing for the IDOC

@lenstyles maybe double check that you submitted it correctly? I submitted mine late (whoops…) but they processed it like two days later and it’s showing up as a green check on my portal.

@lenstyles Mine is like this too. My IDOC says that everything has been uploaded correctly though. I’m going to give it a few more business days to process and if they still haven’t uploaded, I’ll speak with someone to make sure I have everything turned in on my part.

@aghcollege thanks for the reassurance lol i just checked my portal and they put a statement at the top saying that they’ve processed all FAFSAs and CSSs but they still haven’t gotten though everyone’s IDOCs so we’re good for now

I got my interview invitation today. Apparently, they want it back by the 25th so I am scheduled for tmrw. wish me luck even though I don’t think they care abt these at all lol

Does anyone have any idea when the decisions will come out? I think the past few years they’ve come out on Dec. 12 but that’s a Saturday this year…

It seems like decisions normally come out on the second Thursday of December for Dartmouth, so that would be the 10th. No promises though but that seems about right.

LOL update everyone… I finally got an interview! I’m scheduled for Monday the 23rd.

I still haven’t gotten one…should I be worried? Also if you guys have a chance please look at my Chance Me thread and let me know your thoughts:)

Hey acedt21! Thought I’d let you know that my interviewer mentioned in her email that interview reports are due on the 25th (Wednesday), so it’s possible that you won’t get one at this point. Don’t worry though, they really don’t have much of an impact, if any, on your application, especially this year. I was reading on Reddit that Dartmouth’s interview system was a bit of a mess this year so a lot of people didn’t get them. Hope that helped!
