<p>interesting, this list would indicate Dartmouth is a significant reach for most ED applicants if this is any measure.</p>
<p>How many of you are recruited athletes or legacies?</p>
<p>How so? The other schools we're applying to have similar acceptance rates to Dartmouth.</p>
<p>suze --</p>
<p>Hmm. If your first choice school happens to be a reach (as many of them are, even for top students) why <em>wouldn't</em> you apply ED to it? (assuming family's ability to take the financial risk) There certainly are some schools on these lists that aren't as competitive as Dartmouth, but aren't applicants <em>supposed</em> to be building a combination of reaches, matches, and safeties?</p>
<p>Actually what astounds me most about these lists is how LONG so many of them are -- Is that really necessary?</p>
<p>Well, my school limits you to 6 private schools if you apply to SUNY or CUNY. I would have a lot more matches and maybe a few safeties if I could apply to more.</p>
<p>i just like a sure thing.</p>
<p>I honestly had no idea where I would be accepted so I applied to 17 schools! I think it is far better to apply to too many than to too few.</p>
<p>but you have equal chances of screwing up in all of them...</p>
<p>I am applying to 23 schools (besides Dartmouth)..I know, sounds desperate</p>
