<p>Hi all,
We were just wondering how early decision at Dartmouth works. IS it a direct accept/reject process? Or can they waitlist you? Is the higher 26% acceptance rate skewed by recruits? Thanks.</p>
<p>they can defer you, (or me, im applying ED this year) but i dont know how common that is. i know for stanford, they usually either admit or reject, but some of the other ivies prefer deferring to rejecting. the higher acceptance rate is probably due to a fundamental population difference, not lower standards. i havent found any statements from dartmouth about this, but the ivies i have heard about have said they judge exactly the same criteria in exactly the same way and that you wont get in under early if you wouldnt get in under regular.</p>
<p>info table from dartmouth, make sure to look it over.
