**Dartmouth International Applicant's Thread 2017**

<p>@Himan - sorry to hear that, man :(</p>

<p>This evening I received an email from Bates College, thanking me for my ‘excellent application’ and inviting me to a summit at Bates, which occurs after decisions are released. Which then begs the question: why would they need to sell Bates to a student who either was going to be rejected… I know that not everybody received the email. EXCITING.</p>

<p>Boards were decent, I guess, but I was very unsatisfied with my performance.</p>

<p>Rejected from Colby and Smith today. And accepted at Mount Holyoke with almost full aid! Well, things can still look up! :)</p>

<p>Hey guys !!</p>

<p>Got accepted to University of Rochester (with less than half of the total fee and I need a full ride so it’s kinda off the list) and rejected at Colgate. So that’s three acceptanes and 1 rejection so far.</p>

<p>Waiting for Middlebury tomorrow too :slight_smile: </p>

<p>@PO … I didn’t get any email from Bates so that is definitely a good sign.</p>

<p>Congratulations to keya, rishav and others who got into universities with aid :slight_smile: … And to the others, don’t lose hope, better days are coming :)</p>

<p>Thanks caribgurl ! Congratulations to you too :slight_smile:
@Pomani: I think you’re in for a pleasant decision ! Good luck!</p>

<p>How is Middlebury towards internationals with high financial need, do you know?</p>

<p>@PO
Wow! Great to hear, so good luck :D</p>

<p>@Keya
Well done on the FA :)</p>

<p>Well I suppose we can always pretty much work harder for our finals…</p>

<p>@Carib
Congrats on the acceptance and high aid… even if you do need the full ride, still good sign</p>

<p>@pomani Congrats on Bates!</p>

<p>@raith Rejected at Harvey Mudd too :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>But well, there are more decisions on the way.</p>

<p>To everyone weigh bad news, THIS SUCKS!! These unis are the stupidest unis not to admit you and it’s their loss</p>

<p>To everyone with good news, it’s nice to know some places are getting it right, congratulations :)</p>

<p>All these rejections can mean only one thing… And I’ve told himanshu this before…</p>

<p>The adcoms are drunk when they make the final call :stuck_out_tongue:
If you think about it… It actually makes sense - being drunk is the only way to ensure absolute neutrality and is in line with the “HOLYistic” process. :)</p>

<p>Don’t worry, I have a feeling luck will swing our way on Ivy day and we’ll have the final say. :D</p>

<p>March 28th will be a tough day! :slight_smile: And yes, hopefully luck or kismet will be for us!</p>

<p>@keya, Caribgurl and Po - Congrats!! :D</p>

<p>@Rew & all those waiting for Middlebury & stuff - Good luck. :D</p>

<p>lol THANK YOU
but Mt Holyoke was really a safety. I’m waiting for 14 more decisions, including Middlebury in a few hours :D</p>

<p>Middleburry is need blind isn’t it??</p>

<p>It atleast was a few years ago…</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure it meets 100% need though!! :)</p>

<p>no its not, anymore, for internationals. that makes it kinda sad :frowning:
Although they claim to meet full need, according to SFS
Apparently it releases in 20 minutes?? :O</p>

<p>Waitlisted at Middlebury. Oh good.</p>

<p>Waitlisted as well…</p>

<p>Long time since i’ve been here…whew:D</p>

<p>Welcome back! How have decisions been treating you?</p>

<p>@lemming: How likely are we to be admitted from the waitlist? :S</p>

<p>@Rishav
I think I’ll go with your theory of them being drunk xP
If I get accepted to Pton, Duke or Dart… at least my decision will probably be really easy… I really don’t have to struggle between choosing unis -_- :P</p>

<p>@Quiver
Welcome back :P</p>

<p>@Everyone… five more days guys till Ivy… D-Day… The end or beginning of the world!..
Best of luck and I really hope every one of us gets in to one of our top choices!</p>

<p>@keya I don’t know… the FAQ says it could be from zero to 100 people they pick.
I’m not taking my place on the waitlist though as I have a place at Duke :)</p>

<p>I have been waitlisted at Middlebury as well … I really thought I would get in there :frowning: even though it’s not my first choice. But hey, I guess it’s just not for me :)</p>
