Hey there! Was just accepted to Dartmouth’s summer program, and I have a few questions for people who have attended the program in the past.
How many people usually attend the program, and does anyone know what the acceptance rate is? I read somewhere it was 75/1000 people but I doubt I’m that qualified for an acceptance rate that low…
What kind of people usually attend? I understand it’s for low-income URMs, but I’m a low-income ORM (Asian) so I’m curious as to what kind of people all meet.
This is probably a dumb question, but to me it’s pretty important since I’ve never really ventured outside of my hometown, but what’s the weather like, what do you usually do during this program, and what should you wear?
I know that getting into this program isn’t a guaranteed “leg up” when I’ll apply in the fall, so what can I do to increase my chances of getting in? To be quite honest I’m not really sure why I was accepted so I’m wondering if anyone else who was accepted to this years could share some stats (if possible)
Would love to hear about any program experiences, especially those who did the program and also attend Dartmouth, thanks so much!
