<p>We already know that there will be plenty of threads and commentaries for accepted, waitlisted and rejected students.</p>

<p>But we've been family here and we are happy for our family. Everyone has been accepted some where and we want to acknowledge it and show love for it. Let's keep the thread postitive and non-judgemental because every school is someone's dream school. </p>

<p>With that said, we are celebrating everyone and just want you to know:</p>

<p>[ul]
[li] If you been accepted to an Ivy- We're gonna show ya love </p>[/li]
<p>[li] If you been accepted to an elite LAC- We're gonna show ya love </p>[/li]
<p>[li] If you been accepted to a Tier 1, 2, or 3 school- We're gonna show ya love </p>[/li]
<p>[li] If you been accepted to Community College- We're gonna show ya love </p>[/li]
<p>[li] If you been accepted to Trade school- We're gonna show ya love </p>[/li]
<p>[li] If you been accepted to found this on the back of a match book U- We're gonna show ya love </p>[/li]
<p>[/ul]</p>

<p>So feel free to post where you've been admitted</p>

<p>Although I feel like an outsider in this family (because I usually lurk), I will share where I have been accepted so far anyway:
-Fordham University
-Hobart
-Ithaca (safety)</p>

<p>...I am still waiting on Dartmouth (but not for long), NYU, Notre Dame, and Syracuse University.</p>

<p>I have watched many conversations on this forum, and I have found that you are all very good people. Let's all get into Dartmouth and have a great four years!</p>

<p>Someone should put up a clean thread for the rd decisions. Any takers? Only names and decisions.</p>

<p>As a Dartmouth Alum (Class of 1976) I've spent a little time on this board looking around. I'm on CC because my son is applying to college this year. He wasn't interested in Dartmouth - probably sick of hearing about it for 18 years, going to Dartmouth football games all over the Northeast, seeing me wearing green all the time, hearing about Dr. Seuss, Daniel Webster,Robert Frost, etc. etc. He's also a bit tired of seeing Animal House for the 50th time. (really about 90 percent accurate, food fights and all) And that is OK with me. Everyone should have their own identity. My daughter also decided to forego applying to Dartmouth and is now very happy at McGill. </p>

<p>I want to wish all of you good luck. Dartmouth is a wonderful place. With the exception of three large survey courses, my average class size was about 9 students. I never had a Teaching Assistant in my four years. I never met a single classmate at Dartmouth for whom Dartmouth was a second choice. And when you meet a Dartmouth alum anywhere in the world - you have instant rapport and support. There's no other school like it.</p>

<p>Enjoy your time at Dartmouth. Don't go crazy drinking beer your first few years. Take advantage of everything Dartmouth has to offer - especially all of the outdoor activities. Ski, hike, climb, paddle, etc. You'll likely not spend the rest of your life in such an idyllic setting. And take advantage of the Dartmouth Plan - because you can take off in the Winter or Fall or Spring it should give you a leg up in finding great internships. </p>

<p>And for those who don't get in now, think about Tuck Business, or Thayer Engineering, or Dartmouth Medical School. (no law school at Dartmouth, Thank G-d) All great programs and it's been my observation that alums of these schools are as loyal to Dartmouth as graduates from the undergraduate program. "Tis a small school, but there are those who love it."</p>

<p>And for those of you who are actually thinking about Harvard (I know, it's hard to believe) - please read this news article - </p>

<p><a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050329/ap_on_re_us/unhappy_at_harvard%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050329/ap_on_re_us/unhappy_at_harvard&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>There's nothing surprising about this article. I went to prep school for a few years and about 30 of my classmates made the mistake of going to Harvard. It's bleak and you're unlikely to ever see a full professor. They are just enamored with the idea of Harvard. They haven't been any more successful than my classmates at Dartmouth - and many of those that have done well were predestined by inheritances, family businesses, or marrying up. And remember, 25 years ago Duke was a Tier 2 school (still is in my opinion) but nothing guarantees that Harvard or any other school will stay in the top rankings. Things change.</p>

<p>bondnj0,</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the words of encouragement. I'm so excited to be part of the Dartmouth World! I've met quite a few alumni and they all sing Dartmouth's praise in a similar fashion. As to your daughter, I used to live right in the middle of McGill's campus (Pine Ave.), and it's a wonderful place to be--Montreal is my favorite city!</p>

<p>Thanks for starting this thread, Sybbie - it's a great idea admist the super-stressing-out of "accepted/rejected? post your decision here." And Bondnj0 - thanks for the encouragement! I am even more excited about Dartmouth after reading about your experiences!! Hopefully we'll all be joining you as alums a few years down the road.</p>
