<p>I found out yesterday that I got deferred from Dartmouth ED (my stats are on the "results" page in case you wanted to check me out). Now that all the tears have been shed, I am trying to find out how to increase my chances.</p>
<p>I know that many people, after being deferred, send supplementary materials. They mentioned that in my deferral letter too. How is this done? Should I send a letter to the admissions office or email my regional admissions officer?</p>
<p>I also found out (today, actually), that I placed 1st in an International Piano Competition and will be performing at Carnegie Hall some time in January/February. Do you think this is worth mentioning at all?</p>
<p>Thanks for the help in advance! Dartmouth is still my #1 choice and I would REALLY like to go there ;D</p>
<p>Yes I did. Didn’t help much, apparently… I’ll probably ask my guidance counselor on Monday what I should do - I just wanted to ask around if anyone had experience with this here.</p>
<p>So in what form should I send this information?</p>
<p>I would definitely mention that, but not until they said to send updates (February I believe). I think an E-mail or fax would be sufficient. I wish I had something cool to send in an update!</p>
<p>I also sent an arts supplement for piano. I guess it didn’t help me much either. Maybe its not a unique enough instrument or something. Too bad I don’t play the oboe or harp…</p>
