<p>well procrastination, i don’t know about dartmouth in particular, necessarily, but from what i heard, unfortunately admissions have become increasingly more difficult in the past few years, but the level of difficulty reached its peak this year with the class of 08. apparently it will start getting a bit easier overall next year and continue to taper off to a bit more of a reasonable level. but again, this is just hype and predictions, so it’s difficult to know for sure.</p>
