Dartmouth ED Class of 2020

@zgottch Actually, i feel super relaxed for some reason. Just the fact that we find out gives me some relief.

good luck folks! tip: try to fantasize about some other school between now and tomorrow, so no matter what happens it’ll hurt less. getting rejected from Penn hit me hard, but as soon as I started looking at my RD schools (including Dart) I definitely felt better!

You know, I’ve been accepted to my State Flagship (#1 in country according to https://colleges.niche.com/rankings/top-public-universities/), their Honours Program, etc., and that really helped me overcome any insecurity I felt about my other applications.

Whatever happens tomorrow will not make or break any of us. We’ve got stories to tell and experiences behind us, and they are certainly important, but what’s crucial to remember is that we’ve got places to go and people to meet, things to do and see - our whole lives are ahead of us!

Whether Rejected, Deferred, or Accepted, tomorrow, know that.

As a side note - and to prove I’m not a robot, that I’m just as scared (if not more scared) than the rest of y’all, I am terrified that should I be accepted and later have that offer rescinded (highly unlikely but still a possibility, I guess), I’ll have nowhere to go to college, lol. Then I’d cry. I’m also terrified that I’ll be deferred and wait in suspense for months before receiving a final verdict! D: If I’m rejected, I’ll feel stung, but at least I’d have closure xD. I’m still begging for that acceptance.

Dartmouth (Dream School), I yearn to see thee next year, to feel the pale Hanoverian sun and the crisp, cool air on my skin. Please, oh please!

18 hours and 36 minutes. No matter the outcome, thanks to everyone for being a source of support and advice during this stressful past month. I wish the best for all of you!

I’m way too nervous about tomorrow, but on the bright side I was accepted EA to Northeastern today! Acceptance feels really rewarding, so I hope they keep coming (especially tomorrow lol) B-)

I’ve also managed to convince myself that other schools would be just as great as Dartmouth, and my sister has helped me realize that we all end up where we’re supposed to be. That being said, I wish you all the best of luck tomorrow, as I probably won’t be on CC again until after decisions are posted! See y’all on the other, hopefully brighter side!

I don’t think I’ll be checking this thread until after 4:00 tomorrow because it shoots up my anxiety, so best of luck to you guys! I feel like I’ve really gotten to know some of you in these past weeks and I know you will all end up where you’re supposed to be. I hope you see you all in Hanover in the fall, but whatever happens, we’ll all find where we’re meant to be. Thank you to everyone for being such a great support system and understanding my struggles when no one irl did.

luckily (but not so luckily) my mind has been on other things… I had to report my ex-favorite teacher for sending an inappropriate text message to me yesterday. I never would have pictured him to cross the line like that & the worse part is that I’m not the only “victim”… there has been a lot of drama surrounding this whole situation so my decision doesn’t seem so important right now. I’m pretty sure I bombed my finals today because I was so distraught/distracted while trying to study yesterday

I am beyond anxious. @lexiii17 I’m sorry you were put in such an uncomfortable situation especially right before such a big day.

thanks @dartacceptme. the timing of everything really stinks :frowning: now I’m just waiting for my rejection tomorrow… my friend (also the valedictorian of our class) was deferred from Yale today. she had SO much going for her besides her grades so its not looking too good for me tomorrow

lol hey guys, whats up?

@lexiii17, I’m so sorry you had to go through that. If you need to talk to anyone, feel free to message me.

Hey everyone - sleep well and try not to think too much on the decision! I’m crossing my fingers for all of us :slight_smile:

@ahw2020 I was accepted EA to Northeastern today too! Congratulations!

@lexiii17 I’m really sorry to hear that… I hope that the situation gets resolved soon.

OK, even though nobody wanted a nice evening chat, I still wish you guys the best of luck for tomorrow.

There’s nothing much to say other than “Alea iacta est.”
The die is cast. Already cast, long ago. So relax, and it will be a wonderful Wednesday regardless, my friends.

thanks for the concerns y’all. I really appreciate it. very glad that I have a supportive administration and group of friends at my school :slight_smile:

best of luck to everyone tomorrow!!

Goodnight everyone, big day tomorrow! I’ll be in class when decisions are announced so I won’t be able to check and then post the result on here until a few hours later, but good luck everyone and I hope we will all be able to share good news tomorrow afternoon.

Junior here. Good luck tomorrow.

After reading this from the Yale Results Thread, I feel demoralized:

This person’s ECs are absolutely phenomenal. Next to her I can’t help but feel unqualified, haha. Let’s hope my passion and curiosity speak to the AdCom.

There are always going to be the OAs (overachievers) that get in at every school.

Take this from someone who has gotten into a very selective school without the very top ECs - what is more important is that you’ve showed what interests you

12 hours left…
