<p>I think I'm going to take you literally.</p>
<p>this is really stressing me out! shouldn't we have gotten an e-mail or something telling us when to look.. or in the past has that e-mail come the week of?</p>
<p>I seem to remember somebody on here saying they were given an e-mail 5 days before D-Day. That would mean today (sunday) or tomorrow (monday)? if it were actually this friday. (keeping my fingers crossed)</p>
<p>ahh good to know.</p>
<p>i find myself becoming rather obsessed with college confidential these days. its kind of sad. i check my mail, then facebook, and then this whenever i sign on the computer.</p>
<p>Guys. Just go here:</p>
<p>First 2005 decision: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/dartmouth-college/123530-official-decision-thread.html#edit1514077%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/dartmouth-college/123530-official-decision-thread.html#edit1514077</a></p>
<p>First 2006 decision: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/dartmouth-college/272745-official-dartmouth-ed-11-results.html#edit3298431%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/dartmouth-college/272745-official-dartmouth-ed-11-results.html#edit3298431</a></p>
<p>I'm guessing a 12-07 decision would be highly likely.</p>
<p>gnc2773....... that is LITERALLY the order of websites I open every time I go onto a computer. E-mail, Facebook, CC. I am obsessed! I really hope that we find out friday!</p>
<p>And someone make a new decision thread, or at least a new decision format. It is way too heavy on the statistics side. We need more room for extracurriculars.</p>

General Comments: I think I was Accepted/Deferred/Rejected b/c....</p>
<p>i feel like im interrupting but quick question- do you think the server will be busy when ED decisions are released? i know its not a problem on some sites but i was just wondering...</p>
<p>i just joined but i am getting SO NERVOUS Y'ALL. like i can't deal with this...i wouldn't even mind being rejected just as long as i knew? it better be friday, i don't know if i will last much after that!!!</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK TO Y'ALL!!!!</p>
<p>Welcome aboard anditgoes and wishiwereinparis! Good Luck to both of you too!</p>
<p>andsoitgoes: Don't worry I think Dartmouth servers can handle the amount of client requests its going to receive on the decision day :)</p>
<p>While Im sure the Dartmouth Servers can handle a lot... i don't know about 1400 computers refreshing every 3 seconds. Regardless, it just takes the website really long to load, according to my brother who is an '09. When the pageload takes like 10 seconds+ to load, it will probably give me a heart attack. When I applied to my safety, UMIch, and I was waiting for my response, the page only took 3 seconds to load, but I still almost had a heart attack. And that school's my safety! Imagine 10 seconds for my DREAM SCHOOL!?!?!? Anyways, I'll keep the defribulator by my computer.</p>
<p>If I remember correctly, last year at about this time when my son was applying to Dartmouth it was the cc servers that went down!</p>
<p>first smile of the day............thanx</p>
<p>Yea lol, last year, CC was filled with, "OMG I KEEP REFRESHING BUT I DON'T SEE ANYTHIGN!!!"</p>
<p>Who needs botnets... just have a bunch of anxious teenagers refresh a site.</p>
<p>And everyone... remember to post your decisions. Gloat/mourn here first, aite?</p>
<p>I know when my sister applied ED to Yale a few years back, she had heard from a friend that accepted students first saw a screen with a bulldog (that's their mascot, right?) and then their acceptance letter. When she checked, she immediately saw a letter so she knew it wasn't an acceptance (she was deferred, waitlisted, and then rejected- pretty rough) But to my point- does Dartmouth have anything like that? </p>
<p>Maybe it's better I don't know...</p>
