Official Dartmouth RDers 2014 thread!

<p>just got my email for the interview!</p>

<p>hahahhaha i know who is my interviewer, he is the son of my fav teacher! heheheh</p>

<p>So jealous! Hopefully I’ll be getting my interview soon. I know that the head or the local Dartmouth alumni assoc. has a student at my school…</p>

<p>I hope I get an interview soon! So jeal.</p>

<p>Interview Tomorrow!</p>

<p>Bumping this back up =]. So I have midterms starting next week ergh… I can’t wait for the first half of the school year to be over. How is everyone else doing?</p>

<p>Just turned in my app today, and my interview is tuesday february 9!!! WOOO HOOOOOOO</p>

<p>Haha. So is mine (the interview on the 9th of Feb.), DumbSmartKid</p>

<p>First semester is done, so now I’m going to begin the slide as I wait nervously for April… anyway, my interviewer contacted me and said I should expect the interview to last an hour and a half, which seems interminably long… my other interviews lasted 30-40 minutes and I had thoroughly exhausted my store of prepackaged conversations at the end of them…</p>

<p>So I was thinking today, as my last test of first semester rolled to a close- “what if I don’t get into Dartmouth?” </p>

<p>Even though it was a painful realization, it got me thinking about the future. All of you guys seem not only incredibly smart and articulate, but just great people in general. I know we’ll all end up at some great school, even if we don’t make the cut here. </p>

<p>That being said, how about those other schools? Where else are you applying? Did you get in anywhere already? </p>

<p>Personally, I just got into Penn State UP, and I’m waiting on Cornell, WashU and McGill.
=]</p>

<p>If I don’t get into Dartmouth, I’ll move on. I’m not gonna harp on not getting in somewhere because it is their loss =]</p>

<p>And yeah we’ll all end up going somewhere great. And congrats on Penn State grey!</p>

<p>Good attitude! =]</p>

<p>I will honestly hurt if/when I get rejected…gah I should have done ED…I hope I don’t regret that for years to come :confused: ah, can’t do anything about it at this point, anyways…I’m trying to ignore/forget about the whole likely letter thing, I would just be being cruel to myself to get my hopes up for uncertain things like that!</p>

<p>I did my interview a while back, the guy was really nice and he was incredibly knowledgeable about school programs</p>

<p>Wholeheartedly agree with Grey and TF. You guys are -awesome-, and it’s been a pleasure getting to know and talk to you.</p>

<p>Still waiting to hear from places! Hopefully will be hearing from somewhere soon. :)</p>

<p>Ah I would be so sad :(. I love every thing I see and read about Dartmouth…which I’m super annoyed by. I told myself I wouldn’t get emotionally attached to any school in this process and I did!!! :frowning: :(</p>

<p>Same here, spanglish. Aside from sky-high plane ticket prices, not wanting to get attached was one of the reasons I decided not to visit. But as incredible as Dartmouth (or any of our top choices) sound, our backups and matches probably have great things going for them too. I think I’m going to look into my backups (UCSB, UCSD) and find things to love about them. The environment at the UCs is completely different (20k undergraduates!!! :O), but there’s a good chance I’ll end up at one of them, and when it comes down to decision-making time, I don’t want to feel as if I’m settling.</p>

<p>I definitely agree with you, Keilinger! It’s great to have a dream school, but it’s also great to have somewhere else you’d also be HAPPY with!</p>

<p>Ooh! I got my interview!</p>

<p>I wish I had that option, all of the schools I would really like to go to aren’t safeties by any means! haha</p>

<p>And I’m jealous of you getting an interview!!</p>

<p>Aw, it’ll come soon enough!</p>

<p>You’ll be so excited when you get in! Im a Dartmouth '14 from ED, and the letter is still posted on my fridge. Good luck all! :)</p>
