I finally made my decision! After thinking about it and talking it over with my family, I’ve decided to go to Dartmouth! Going into the process, I felt like given the chance, I would go to Duke no matter what. But, after visiting Dartmouth during Dartmouth bound this summer, I really fell in love with the school. I love the new residential system, I like the quarter system and I love the freedom that comes with the D-plan (even Sophomore Summer!).Also, I’m from a big city in Texas so I really want to experience something really different for four years. When I thought about my visit/going to WashU, which is a fantastic school, I just wasn’t excited about it. I never really pictured myself going to WashU but, that’s simply because I’m not the best fit for the school. I want to say thanks to everyone on this thread for helping me! I don’t think I would have been able to make a confident choice without all of your insight and advice!
Thank you all!
