<p>Has anyone else not gotten the financial aid letter yet?</p>
<p>february, do you know when they send more things about dimensions?</p>
<p>My guess is that all the info about Dimensions will be in with our official decisions, so probably around March 29th. Other than that sheet in the My Dartmouth newsletter, I haven't heard anything about Dimensions since that purple bookmark thing that came with the likely letter.</p>
<p>you're probably right, great, i may see you then!</p>
<p>I only got a likely... ***?</p>
<p>me too, dionysus. doubt it's a big deal.</p>
<p>Maybe it depends on when you received your likely letter?</p>
<p>I'm wondering if those other parts go to minorities, because the newsletter seems to focus on diversity. I'm asian, btw.</p>
<p>Hmm, perhaps. I'm Asian too.</p>
<p>Only a likely...not worried though.</p>
<p>Great. I've gotten nothing.</p>
<p>i got a likely letter, but nothing inside it except the letter.</p>
<p>I got an invitation to Dimensions</p>
<p>nothing- glad to know everyone else is doing great, though</p>
<p>I recieved a Likely Notice as well as a Dimensions Paper, and a letter about the missing financial aid papers...a few days later i recived a letter from the financial aid department estimating how much they would give me (they were very generous ...thanks :) )...then a few days after that i recieved more Dimensions info and also the Dartmouth Newsletter</p>
<p>I just registered for Dimensions yesterday and they are covering my airplane ticket to and from there...if you are recieving financial aid i believe they will cover urs also....I am leaving Ft lauderdale and flying to Boston then i will take a bus with the kids from boston to Hanover</p>
<p>any boston kids here IM me at Fireball3003!!!!</p>
<p>I am not sure I understand this process.</p>
<p>It clearly states that admission decisions go out on March 29th at 5:00. This is an agreement between the Ivies and yet Dartmouth and Cornell send some applicants "likely" letters and others nothing! While Brown seems to hold to the date stated. Don't know about the others.</p>
<p>I guess no one ever said that college admissions is a fair process, but what is the point of printing one policy and following another?</p>
<p>Causes me to really question the institutions.</p>
<p>the likely letter states that it isn't an official decision, so technically they are holding to the agreement . . .</p>
<p>This "behind the scenes" approach that a few of the schools are using bothered me enough that I just called Dartmouth admissions directly. Here is what I was told.</p>
<p>"Yes, they sent likely letters out in Feb and March, these are not "official" acceptances (because they cannot use the word, by agreement with the other Ivies) until March 29. If you didn't receive a letter, it is possible that you may still be accepted.</p>
<p>My interpretation from the conversation is that they have made their decisions and notified those people, with a few possible exceptions. If you have received a likely letter, you are in, if you haven't don't count on it.</p>
<p>So, what's the problem? All Ivies practice this method, and the majority do so for non-athletes as well. Variuos members of this forum have acknowledged one from harvard, yale, dartmouth, cornell, and columbia thus far this year. It has also been restated again and again that the absence of a likely is not paramount to a rejection (70-75% of acceptees are not sent one).</p>
