<p>So I just read about a personal statement being required for admission to dartmouth. But, what exactly is this, and do we have to send it in separately? As in, is it part of the common application or not? I'm just really confused because the college wants it, but it doesn't say how to send it. Email or by postage? I would really appreciate feeback
thanks</p>
<p>I assume that you are referring to the “personal essay” that is listed on the Dartmouth admission requirements page:
[Regular</a> Decision](<a href=“Apply to Dartmouth | Dartmouth Admissions”>Apply to Dartmouth | Dartmouth Admissions)
This is merely the common app essay - there is no additional personal statement or essay required (other than the peer rec)</p>
<p>^Yup. The personal statement is the common app essay.</p>
