<p>While I am no real expert at these things you look just like the kind of person these top schools look for: hard working and takes advantage of the opportunities given to them. </p>
<p>All the schools I have looked at (including Dartmouth) seem to talk about how they like to have diversity on campus. As a first generation low-income minority, you fit in most diversity categories, except maybe location. </p>
<p>Overall, you look like a great candidate for any top school!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks for your encouragement. :)</p>
<p>You have a good chance... haha but Im as nervous as you are and uhmm after beign deferred ED... I recommend you not to bee too optimistic.</p>
<p>Yeah I'm trying to be less optimistic but i really really want to get in :(</p>
<p>I just got waitlisted at a lower school and I have almost no hope. :(</p>
<p>Don't give up. Remember, with so many applicants that are probably all deserving of admission on some level, the admission process is fairly arbitrary. In looking at past years admissions there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the decision process...yet I assume there must be! You have the stats to make it in, you are unique in your background etc.. which will make you stand out. You have as much or more chance than the next guy. A waitlist from another school doesn't mean anything in relation to
THIS school. You still have hope</p>
<p>Oh I really hope so. Thanks for your encouraging words. Expecting the worst, hoping for the best.</p>
<p>the school you were waitlisted in... was it WashU?</p>
<p>Looking at the sheer number of people who were waitlisted from WashU... I don't think admission status is any indication of decisions in any other school.</p>
<p>I got a likely from Dartmouth, and I was waitlisted at WashU. Crapshoot. That's all I can say.</p>
<p>There, there Virtuoso. Actually, according to the latest PR numbers (um, don't know if you believe their rankings or not..), <em>the lower school</em> -if I'm correct in guessing which- is actually over 10 ranks above Dartmouth in the "Toughest Colleges to Get Into" list, so don't lose hope on Dartmouth just yet because of that other let down.</p>
<p>^^ Good luck :]</p>
<p>^Yes, indeed, the school is WashU. </p>
<p>Thanks for the encouragement. :) I'll get only more nervous as the 29th approaches.</p>
<p>OOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGG</p>
<p>I don't want to be rejected!!!!!!! Or waitlisted!!!!!! O GOd please let me be accepted to Dartmouth!!!!!</p>
