<p>I heard Dartmouth puts a lot of weight on personal characteristics. Is that true?</p>
<p>nope......its a myth.</p>
<p>I heard they like little boys too...</p>
<p>"I heard they like little boys too..."</p>
<p>I'm in!!!!!</p>
<p>Wouldn't you ** want ** Dartmouth to put a lot of emphasis on personal characteristics? I can't remember the last time someone said "I want my class to be filled with overachieving jerks."</p>
<p>^i think Dartmouth is filled with overachievers, but they are not all jerks :) (that's why i want to transfer there :))</p>
<p>Overachieving is fine. I was saying overachieving JERKS as opposed to overachievers nice people.</p>
<p>Yeah, I posted this thread b/c my SAT scores aren't very high. But I like who I am and I have really grown into my own the past three years. That's why I was wondering about personal characteristics. :)</p>
<p>one of the reasons I chose Dartmouth is because of the "supportive student enviroment" described by a student. Hope its true</p>
