<p>Hey all, I'm braaaand-new and I thought that this board needs a thread for everyone to shout out at the top of their lungs how much they love love looove Dartmouth!</p>
<p>The dark horse among the ten schools on Renee's list, Dartmouth appeared lonely and neglected at the bottom, sitting too close for comfort next to Rutgers. Renee, blissfully unaware that Dartmouth was merely biding its time, waiting for an opportunity to shine, eventually decided to do some research on the school she had applied to on a whim. She didn't notice at the time that the things she heard were beginning to make Dartmouth outdo the other schools on The List. Slowly, with each new day, it rose in her ranks, surging forth, unstoppable, INEVITABLE. And yet, she did not know about it! No, she continued in her mundane routine, not even realizing that she now held Dartmouth in higher esteem than all the rest, still clinging for no reason to lesser schools. But that crafty, crafty Dartmouth knew her even better than she knew herself, and began revealing things about itself that it KNEW would hook her, until one day, Dartmouth surpassed all others and proudly stood alone. Finally, Renee recognized it for what it really was, for what it had rightfully won - the coveted title of The First Choice. Renee ultimately embraced Dartmouth, letting it bask in the glory of her love for it. And she? Why, she has never been the same again.</p>
<p>LOL I had fun writing that! Sometimes I go overboard, I know, but admit it, you were slightly amused!</p>
<p>I'm such a loser...I keep going and reading articles in The Dartmouth and laughing hysterically at the op eds and comics. I'm in for a real crash come April</p>
