<p>Hey... I wasn't originally planning on applying to Dartmouth, but I just received a mail that says they are willing to extend the Jan 1st deadline to Jan 15th to gather and submit my app</p>
<p>Is this just a plea for my money or are they actually interested in me... as in recruiting... I dont think IVY's recruit so idk...
Did anyone else get this</p>
<p>We really don't have enough information about you to judge.</p>
<p>I didn't get an email, but I heard something about this from a friend. Not sure of the reasons behind it.</p>
<p>Well, how does it matter? All that matters is whether you'd like to apply or not</p>
<p>I dont think I will apply... I was just wondering because the notion of extending a deadline seems like something some state or lesser academic school would use not a school as prestigious as Dartmouth</p>
<p>one of my friends got an email from darthmouth about the extension, and my other friend got it in the mail</p>
<p>Have you made an inquiry on Darmouth's website? </p>
<p>Did you join their mailing list?</p>
<p>This is just marketing. Don't read too much into it as Dartmouth is still going to have many more applications than seats to admit the class of 2012.</p>
<p>such extensions are not uncommon at all. When my S was accepted ED, he had a half dozen apps waiting to hit the mailbox. Obviously, with the ED acceptance, he never submitted the other apps. But, after Jan 1, several schools (all highly selective) e-mailed him and inquired if the "app had gotten lost in the mail" (or something similar) and invited him to send it in by Jan 15 for full consideration. Personally, I thought it was a classy action on the part of the school.</p>
<p>I got it in the mail today, which is funny because it is already the 15th.</p>
<p>And er, I already applied. Over a month ago. Lol.</p>
