<p>That article was really weak and in some cases incorrect. No mention of the total minority percentage of the class, no mention or avg scores, etc. Considering this was such a groundbreaking year (16.6% increase) in which Dartmouth was the "hot" Ivy (after Harvard), its astounding that there wasn't better press around this.</p>
<p>How do we know there is a shortlist for Dartmouth's waitlist???(that was on another thread):/</p>
<p>I saw it on the waltist success stories thread... I don't know if there was any reason for adding it. that thread is probably wrong... Dmouth would have the courtesy to tell you if they moved to shortlist and most likely there would be a huge uproar on CC</p>
<p>There is no short list, or priority list. If there was they would formally reject people like Stanford. As of now the waitlist is inactive but still open for potential use.</p>
<p>Im sure they will use it sooner or later..The problem is im an international...requiring a lot of aid..:/Because out of the ~480 people out of the waitlists in the other ivies,logically more than 30 should be at dartmouth right now.!!??!:)</p>
<p>My daughter's friend just got off the waitlist!</p>
<p>Hey Kathy are you for reals?? Was she california? Was there anything really special about her (Olympic athlete etc).Were there any other details? baaahh and so it begins</p>
<p>ughh....now i really want to know. i hope they start releasing all of the decisions sometime soon.</p>
<p>I know someone who got in this past week as well. She's no Olympic athlete or anything but she tried very aggressively (in a good way) to get off the waitlist.</p>
<p>What??has there already been more than 30 refusing??so quick....this is going crazy..any international on this thread?</p>
<p>im international. and i'm really hoping they'd call me soon. Do they call or email or snail mail?</p>
<p>the woman at admissions that I talked to on the phone told me that it would be by email</p>
<p>So is it official? they have started taking people off? I hope its not over!</p>
<p>Hi Knickknack, I don't know exactly what she did--she's not an Olympic athlete, but she does have a 4.0; I know she expressed strong interest, particularly since her twin was admitted and she was on the waitlist and they wanted to go to school together.</p>
<p>Hey guys, i called up the admissions office, who told me that they took a "small number" of students off the waitlist last week. The list is still open in response to other schools, etc...</p>
<p>Just enrolled at Brown, so there's another spot open :)</p>
<p>^^Thanks for letting us know. Are you sure that you made the right decision? I don't trust the kids to design their own curriculum. :)</p>
<p>So what does everyone think of the email we received on friday??When will that be over??mid june??:/</p>
<p>i'm just annoyed that the email didn't reveal that they took students in last week</p>
<p>yep..that is quite strange..they themselves know what they are doing..</p>
