<p>Is Dartmouth very selective about only accepting a certain number of students from each high school?</p>
<p>I go to a small private school. In the past years, only 1-2 students have gotten into Dartmouth. I already know one student from my school who is applying to Dartmouth ED - she has slightly higher credentials than i do. </p>
<p>Dartmouth is my number one choice, but I don't want to be directly compared to this other student from my school. Should I apply RD so that I am not directly competing against her or does this not matter?</p>
