<p>I guess I'll go first</p>
<p>Dear _______,</p>
<p>Congratulations! It is with great pleasure that I inform you of your admission to Dartmouth College as a member of the Class of 2011. You were selected from an accomplished and academically talented group of applicants who applied under the Early Decision Plan. You and your classmates are truly outstanding in your achievements, your diversity of interests, and your potential.</p>
<p>The faculty and staff join me in welcoming you to Dartmouth. This is a particularly exciting time at the College; the opportunity for personal involvement in all facets of your education here is significant. The College continues to be distinguished by the commitment of its faculty to combine excellence in teaching with exceptional scholarship and research. New major initiatives undertaken in the last few years, including a reaffirmation of the commitment to a diverse student body, an expansion of the financial aid program, and a major revitalization of student residential life, will each enhance Dartmouths national leadership in liberal arts education.</p>
<p>I hope this early acceptance to Dartmouth will enable you to pursue the rest of your secondary school experience without the additional demands of the college admissions process. It is our expectation that you will remain fully engaged in your studies and other pursuits for the remainder of your secondary school career. As you know, under the early decision agreement you are required to withdraw applications at all other colleges and refrain from initiating any new ones. Please look for the candidate's reply form in your admit package, which was sent to you via regular mail, and confirm your decision to enroll by December 22, 2006.</p>
<p>Again, congratulations on your acceptance. Please let me know if we can be of any help to you between now and next September. You can expect to receive information pertaining to the first year from the First-Year Office in February and then again in May. We look forward to welcoming you in the fall and working with you during the exciting four years ahead.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Karl M. Furstenberg
Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid</p>
