<p>I never actually applied for an alumnus interview for Dartmouth, and now I'd like to arrange one if doing so is still possible and beneficial. Does Dartmouth allow you to interview after the January 1 deadline? Would there be a point to doing so? </p>
<p>I live in Massachusetts, so there should be no problem finding somebody to interview with. I was actually planning to interview with my classmate's uncle, though I haven't brought it up with him yet. Which brings up another worry spot: this uncle of my classmate claims that it is almost impossible to get into Dartmouth if one lives in Massachusetts. He moved to New Hampshire for his senior year of high school, just to get in. Is he right? Are there state-by-state statistics for Dartmouth's admissions policies?</p>
<p>If you applied and there is an alumni in your area that does interviews, you will likely get contacted soon enough. I don’t think you can choose who you interview with, your interviewer will just contact you.</p>
<p>Emanick: How useful would Dartmouth view an interview report written by someone acquainted with an applicant?</p>
<p>Put on your thinking cap. You can’t request interviewers. As a matter of fact, an ethical one will recuse himself/herself if they knew you or your family.</p>
<p>And why would the college have an anti-Massachusetts quota? What would this serve? Again, think about it.</p>
<p>alums can sometimes manipulate who their kid interviews with (other alum friends/associates in the area). But otherwise, your interviewer will contact you. Not your job to start calling alums. </p>
<p>It may be hard to get in from massachusetts because there are so many applicants, but there are also a ton of mass./boston people here. Dartmouth’s just hard to get into in general.</p>
<p>Massachusetts is one of the most represented states at top schools. While it is more competitive than states like the Dakotas, students still have a shot.</p>
