So I was told by a previous Dartmouth admissions assistant that about 75% of Dartmouth Bound participants get admitted to Dartmouth. With this in mind, would it help to put something like this on my application.
For early or RD other competing schools such as Stanford or Yale may be less likely to wait-list me or defer me if they know that it is highly likely that Dartmouth will offer me admission? Does this make any sense at all?
“For early or RD other competing schools such as Stanford or Yale may be less likely to wait-list me or defer me if they know that it is highly likely that Dartmouth will offer me admission? Does this make any sense at all?”
No. They don’t care who Dartmouth might or might not admit unless of course you are a recruited athlete and there is a coach at each of these places who really, really, really, really wants you for the team.
I wouldn’t list it as an EC but if it comes up in an essay I think it is fine. My daughter went to a science Dartmouth program and listened to a lecture by a professor from another Ivy school. She did mention the experience in the “Why us” type essay for that other school and was admitted to both the other Ivy and Dartmouth.
Good Luck
