[ b]General Comments:**</p>

<p>I just copied and pasted from the 2016 RD results thread from last year, but I’m not sure if that’ll work</p>

<p>See, it didn’t really work xD.</p>

<p>Cause it isn’t the code that people will need if they want to post stats. I’m not sure what the spacing is supposed to be for it to work.</p>

<p>I think that’ll work?</p>

<p>There you go. Good edit :)</p>

<p>how do you use that template? i havent done anything like that before, sorry! :)</p>

<p>figured it out!</p>

<p>Hopefully everyone will be able to use the accept portion of the results template :)</p>

<p>Saw this thread and got excited because I thought results were sent out. Not cool!</p>

<p>ahah noooooopeee we wish too.</p>

<p>magentaturtle, this thread made me almost jump off my seat too. Think there are still 10-ish day till we get our final judgement :sigh:</p>

<p>If anyone wants to provide results, I think they should post it here. The other thread is way too long :P</p>

<p>I hope I filled this out right :p</p>

congrats to everybody with an acceptance letter!</p>

<p>I’ve never done this (as this is ED), and although I didn’t get accepted, I promised myself to do this anyways, so might as well do this, even if it doesn’t look right.</p>

<p>Decision: DEFERRED(AKA EUPHEMISM FOR REJECTION)</p>

<p>Objective:[ul]
[<em>] SAT I (breakdown): 2250 w/ reading 670

[<em>] School Type: public. not competitive.
[</em>] Ethnicity: Asian.
[<em>] Gender: M
[</em>]Income Bracket: low.
[li] Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): anti hook for being asian. sucks to suck. i’m not saying that this is the reason for deferral, though.[/li]Reflection</p>

<p>[li] Strengths: ahahah</p>[/li]
<p>[li] Weaknesses: definitely SAT2. being a valedictorian might have helped, but not enough. Oh, of course, extracurricular, baby! Esports probably don’t count as one haha</p>[/li]
<p>[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: ^</p>[/li]
<p>[li] Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: EARLY DECISION BABY, AINT GOT TIME TO APPLY ELSEWHERE YET. (well I did apply to USC a week ago, but they aint got time to make the decision yet.)[/li]General Comments:
WELL. I basically take this as rejection. But it’s ok, I’ve been expecting a rejection anyways so that I am not that heartbroken if I were to actually get rejected. It does kinda suck that I have to write my supplement essays and have to wait until April to figure out which college I’m going to, but hey, I also think this is an exciting opportunity to apply to many colleges. (not saying that I didn’t want to get in, but I’m looking at the positive side). Those who didn’t get in like myself, try to look at the bright side :). approximately 1/3 gets accepted, 1/3 gets deferred, and 1/3 gets rejected, so you aint the only one. For those who got accepted, CONGRATS YO. My sincere appraisals to you, because you worked hard and now THAT is your prize.
btw, I’m thinking about a random essay about my EC as an additional essay for regular decision; am I allowed to do that?</p>

<p>Deferred- will post stuff later, maybe</p>

[ b]Reflection

[ *] Strengths: My extracurricular activities.
[ *] Weaknesses: Maybe my essay? Definitely my grades.
[ ] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Honestly, I thought the worst that would happen would be a deferral. I’m genuinely mindboggled.

[ b]General Comments:
I know I was very vague about a lot of activities. I don’t want people from my school to find out who I am, so if you’d like more information, especially about what exactly my extracurriculars were (because that is the bulk of my application and that’s what I am riding on), just contact me!</p>

Thank you God!</p>

<p>I posted this in the other thread but figured I should post it too here in case some peole don’t read the other one: </p>

<p>From a current Dartmouth freshman:
To those who got in, congrats and welcome home! I’m sure I’ll unknowingly run into a few of you next year. </p>

<p>To those who got deferred, keep your hope strong but your expectations reasonable. I’ll have my fingers crossed for you all.</p>

<p>To those who were denied, I’m sorry that things didn’t work out, but everything happens for a reason. In fact, this time last year I was flat out denied from my first choice school (another ivy with actually a higher acceptance rate, especially ED, than Dartmouth). I was discouraged for a bit until I realized that I probably wouldn’t have been happy at that other school anyway. Then I discovered Dartmouth and fell in love, but I kept my hopes in check just in case everything didn’t work out. I found a few targets and safeties that I really could see myself at, finished all my applications, and tried to put everything out of my mind until RD results came out. I ended up getting into Dartmouth and now I couldn’t be happier. But had I gotten into my original ED choice, I wouldn’t be where I am now. And I’m sure a year from now, at whatever school is lucky enough to have you, you’ll be thinking the same thing. Good luck and keep your head up! </p>

<p>More advice for deferred/denied applicants:
In fact, now is a good time to really find out some of the details about other schools that you may not have really discovered because you were so focused on your ED choice. I know that once I got rejected from my ED, I really took a look at all the little details in schools that I had already applied to, and some that I hadn’t yet looked at and then decided last minute to apply to after my ED rejection. I realized that because I had fallen so “in love” (or so I’d thought) with my ED school, it was preventing me from seeing some of the great things about other schools and falling in love with them too (especially at least one safety and one target. Falling in love with them is great because it leaves you with hopefully at least 2 great options come RD decision time). And now you guys (both deferred and denied) can get past that ultimate devotion to your ED school and start to see how great some other schools can be, too!</p>

<p>However, don’t start tonight or tomorrow. Take this next day or so to just relax and decompress. Have a nice family dinner and realize how lucky you are to still have your health and all the good things in your life. In the grand scheme of things, this one college rejection/deferral means very, very little.</p>
