<p>Strawboy:Your agenda is to try to seem superior by putting Duke down... it looks like you chose Dartmouth over Duke. Deal with it! Dartmouth and Duke are both great schools.. neither school has "superior students". Enjoy your four years there..</p>
<p>You don't know yet if Duke's yield is "mad low", Duke was accepting people off the waitlist this early last year.. and even then it's yield wasn't mad low.. I think it went down from 41% to 40% or something crazy like that, lol..</p>
<p>Congratulations, Strawboy, and I hope you're happy with your decision. Dartmouth is a fine choice -- why visit a board of a school you allegedly turned down to talk trash?</p>
<p>Anyway, have fun in Hanover... </p>
<p>A quick look at some of the other boards -- including Penn and Cornell -- suggest they're admitting off their waitlists too.</p>
<p>strawboy:</p>
<p>dissing another great school is soooo unlike the typical Dartmouth student. In a word: Chill! :)</p>
<p>cornell and duke is what i'm stuck choosing between
and honestly, i see no real difference between the 2</p>
<p>Yes, Unitedhell, but the whether is much better for Duke than Cornell.</p>
<p>Yes, I hear that both the whether and the weather are much better at Duke.</p>
<p>Haha! As for the Cornell v. Duke debate.. if you ask me and one of my best friends that question, you will get two opposing answers.. :D</p>
<p>My location says my answer..
They are both awesome at engineering though.</p>
<p>psyche:
what letter/recommendation/essay are you talking about?</p>
<p>I got off the waitlist and I cannot believe it.</p>
<p>Congrats! :)</p>
<p>congrats Xeneise!! :) when did you hear?</p>
<p>Canadia:
i sent in extra stuff like another teacher rec and an english essay.</p>
<p>I heard about an hour ago via telephone call. They said a formal letter and fin aid package is coming. Now I have to decide between Duke and Tufts, where I was pretty damn excited to attend. I'll have to visit Durham this weekend. Just wow.</p>
<p>oh man!!! i REALLY hope they call me soon... did you send any extra stuff in?</p>
<p>I didn't. I didn't even email or call. I'm shocked.</p>
<p>I decided at 4PM may 1st to check yes. I was that close to saying no. Wow.</p>
<p>oh man... they must really like you... that's awesome :)</p>
<p>oh sorry, one more question... did you apply to the engineering school or l/s?</p>
<p>I applied to pratt, and she specifically mentioned spots available in the college of engineering. I don't know if trinity is using the waitlist.</p>
<p>darn it... i applied to trinity, lol.</p>
<p>I got off the waitlist at Trinity, so there's still some hope for you.</p>
<p>oh wow!! i received a phone call today! it was amazing! i was having such a bad day and then the phone rang! and i didn't even send any updates. oh, i applied to trinity and for those who are still waiting, DON'T LOSE HOPE!</p>
