<p>Last year my niece was rejected at Georgetown, waitlisted at Duke and got into Penn with a great financial aid offer - go figure!! Good luck to you.</p>
<p>Yea this process is pretty darn random. Every teenager is bombarded with "hidden tips" etc. but really its just about making your app as comprehensive as you can and hoping for the best.</p>
<p>I think each college has its own needs in terms of what kinds of students they want to enroll, so think of it as you being more desireable in Dartmouth's opinion.</p>

<p>got waitlisted at georgetown too...guess it means I still have a shot at Dartmouth then...</p>
