dartmouth holiday parties hometown

<p>Is there one for the NY/LI area? I'm not sure if I'd want to go (not that huge on holiday functions), but if it could help admissions chances (can it?) then I should at least consider it. Also, is it at someone's house or a hotel? Do I need to get invited, or do I ask someone if I can go (I haven't sent in my app yet, will probably do it this week, so they might not have my name)? Is it intimidating? Is it you and your parents that go, or just you? Sorry about all the questions.</p>
