<p>I received a likely letter from Dartmouth in early March this year. I also applied to many other prestigious universitites. I was wondering where else do students who receive likely letters often get accepted to on April 1. ex: Harvard, Princeton, Yale, etc..</p>
<p>My son also received a likely letter to Dartmouth. We’ll find out tomorrow about other schools. HYP colleges are a little harder to get in to.</p>
<p>Lol. I actually got into all of the schools I applied to. Except for two. And Yale was one of them. :)</p>
<p>I got a likely too, but after what I have heard about Dartmouth, i’m regretting even applying.
It seems like only an “ivy” league institution to raise capital, but other than that it’s programs don’t seem very appealing.
In fact my alumni contact near my house, told me it wasn’t the “typical” university experience but you had to make many sacrifices.
Don’t know what i’m going to do.</p>

<p>So you didn’t really get waitlisted, as you said in another thread?</p>
<p>And you woke up in the middle of the night and had the same waitlist essay revelation for both U Penn and D, even though you actually got a likely from D?</p>
<p>Maybe you should get your story straight before you do anything else.</p>
<p>that’s ridiculous. it’s got fantastic programs. alums love it. dartmouth and princeton top of ivies in alumni giving, a good measure of how much they liked the school. And it’s ranked number one in the country for undergraduate teaching.</p>
<p>I got a likely letter to Dartmouth and ended up getting into Stanford, Brown, Cornell, Princeton, Duke, Swarthmore, Georgetown, and a couple safeties. However, I was rejected from Yale and waitlisted at Harvard and Amherst. The impression the likely letter gave was that I was at the very top of their admitted applicant pool, but that seems discrepant with not being accepted at schools of comparable selectivity.</p>
