Dartmouth Transfer Thread Fall 2019

I have not and do not intend to inquire lol… I mostly work or am in class during business hours and don’t know any AO’s or anyone personally at the college.

Last year decisions were released on the 10th. So maybe this year will be the same and we will get a decision back from Yale and Dartmouth on Friday. At least I hope so! Their website says “Early May” so this is really coming down to the last week (or week from today) that the statement remains true…

I called today and the person I spoke with said they didn’t have a set date yet. Going off last year’s thread, it doesn’t look like they got an announcement either, just a sudden morning drop.

This Friday would be great haha. Where else did you guys apply/hear back from so far?

I went for all of the reaches lol, rejected from Harvard Yale & Princeton so far… but my biggest hopes and best essay is for Dartmouth (also for Brown’s RUE).

You already have you Yale decision @sproutedchiapet ?

I can only hope for the best. I have a feeling that they might release decisions on Thursday.

Hey guys! What question did you answer for your Dartmouth supplement? I answered this one: ‘D. In the aftermath of World War II, Dartmouth President John Sloane Dickey, Class of 1929, proclaimed, “The world’s troubles are your troubles…and there is nothing wrong with the world that better human beings cannot fix.” Which of the world’s “troubles” inspires you to act? How might your course of study at Dartmouth prepare you to address it?’

Yup @broobro , I applied to the EWSP which kindly rejects you early lol

@“College? Nah…” That’s an awesome prompt, I almost chose that one. I ultimately went with: “I have no special talent,” Albert Einstein once observed. “I am only passionately curious.” Celebrate your curiosity.
But in the transfer supplement essays, I talked about what moves me into action and helping others.

Awesome, sounds like a great essay! I thought I would come off as too presumptuous if I picked that one though.

So any bets on it being tomorrow? Looks like decisions came out on the 2nd Thursday in May last year.

@thestandard I sure hope so lol
@“College? Nah…” that makes sense, it’s a hard balance to empower yourself and your story yet remain humble lol, I chose that one bc for me, it was the easiest not to come off as presumptuous

Haha, good move, I couldn’t have pulled it off. Welp, hoping it’s tomorrow. What time would it be released if it was tomorrow?

Just reached out to the admissions office and was told that “You should hear back by the end of this week, so by Sunday you should hear a response”. Hoping it’s sooner, but at least that narrows it down a bit.

It will almost certainly be tomorrow, they’re not going to come into the office and release it over the weekend

any chance it will be today?

Well last year decisions were released on Thursday May 10th, but people were posting their decisions around 10/11 (EST?) am. Most schools send out information around 4-7pm EST, so there is still hope, but I am just planning on decisions coming out tomorrow.

i called and they said its coming out right now

oof, rejected. Didn’t get the email yet, but it was on the portal.
