<p>I go to dartmouth and I want some cool kids to come here so if you got questions, ask away - unless you're one of those HYPS whores because i'll say this now</p>
<p>both me and my best friend here picked Dartmouth over those 4 schools (I got into all but Yale and he got into all but Princeton)</p>
<p>heh heh, you might want to check a different board. </p>
<p>not only are most of the people here "HYPS whores," they're also generally uber-dorky (and not much of a sense of humor at all).</p>
<p>Don't say HYPS whores. Even though those are hyped up schools, I seriously doubt that people who want to go there have superficial reasons for it. I personally would love to go to Stanford, but not because of its huge prestige.</p>
<p>Though I do have a question, what were your stats like?</p>
<p>might wanna post this on the dartmouth board.</p>
<p>My stats blew ... i think</p>
<p>Went to private school
Average: A- // B+ (without freshmen Year, A-)
SATs: 1530 or something like that
Extra Currics: the usual, sports, blah blah, debate, </p>
<p>I did have my own startup company (pretty sucessful so that mighta done it)</p>
<p>but yeah - i just mean thte kids who go around saying HYPS are better cuz they're on a diff level of prestige blah blah</p>
<p>Oh, I know what you mean. I'd love to go to a school like Dartmouth but I can't really gauge my stats that well, certain things make big differences and they vary by college evaluation type.</p>
<p>what does HYPS means?</p>
<p>HYPS = Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford</p>
<p>Hi, I got a likely letter from Dartmouth and it's always been my dream school. I'm a double legacy. But there's a good chance I'll get merit money from other great schools (Duke being the top one) and I would really like my parents to have a break from paying $40K/yr as I am at a high school that costs that much and they do sacrifice. Is it worth it?</p>
<p>I think that's a decision you have to make yourself...and not rely on asking people who you have no idea of, online. :D</p>
<p>Think about the benefits of both situation!</p>
<p>what high school do you go to that charges 40k? ... mine cost $24k</p>
<p>anyway - if you don't qualify for financial aid then i assume u should be good paying the 40k :P dun sacrifice education for a few bucks</p>
<p>come to dartmouth its great :D</p>
<p>im applying this fall</p>
<p>tring to decide whether to do dartmouth or brown ED..ahh</p>
<p>I go to Andover. It's not a few bucks. It could be more like a $80K difference at top colleges, and a $160K difference at those just below the top. Not small change. Since I started high school, my father has had to slow down because of health. If he pays for Dartmouth, I feel obligated to pay him back later. And I do plan to get an MBA, so that institution will be more important.</p>
<p>Hanover will always be what college looks like in my mind. </p>
<p>Anyone else choose between Dartmouth and Duke?</p>
<p>How does A- Translate in terms of stuff on a 4.0 scale?</p>
<p>wow, not one person has asked how the actual school is.
I'm really interested in Dartmouth, what are the people like there, and how's life out of the class</p>
<p>Also, what's the physics program like</p>
<p>ejc2008,</p>
<p>What is your fave/least fave thing about Dartmouth? How's the food? Have you ever found yourself bored of Dartmouth's location in Hanover? What is your major?</p>
<p>can you tell us more about your "start-up company"?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>did op just come here to brag about getting into those schools or something?</p>
<p>at least have the courtesy to put this in the dartmouth board, as it is an eyesore in the College Admissions forum</p>
<p>sorry im a sophomore and i have better things to do than brag dude ... it's been 2 years i figured itd be good to help kids who actually will like dartmouth for what it is come here.</p>
<p>As for A- it is a 3.7 out of 4 without weight</p>
<p>Physicis and Engineering here is amazing - i'm a government and econ major (phil minor) </p>
<p>life here is good - there's plenty to do on campus - i mean if u get bored, you have enough resources to entertain urself but there's lots of organizations</p>
