<p>Rejected lol</p>
<p>Rejected!!!</p>
<p>I got accepted.</p>
<p>that’s awesome dcsmiss! What were your stats? any hooks? how did you approach the essay?</p>
<p>I requested a decision last week due to an opportunity/problem presented by another institution. Dartmouth accommodated this request and I felt I had sealed my fate as far as being granted admission.</p>
<p>Much to my surprise, last Friday I received an e-mail offering me admission to Dartmouth. I was in disbelief. I decided to wait until this week before I posted on here. I have accepted the offer and will be attending this coming Fall.</p>
<p>Since I am coming from a Community College I understand the great majority of my credits will not be transferring with me. I am Ok with that. Admission to Dartmouth has presented me with both an unimaginable challenge and an unexpected opportunity. I know it will be difficult, however I look forward to it immensely.</p>

GPA: 4.0
SAT: 2090
Hooks: Essay - well-written, unique life experience
With the essay, I wrote about why I did not perform well in high school and subsequent experiences that altered my perspectives, then finished with my goals to bringing lessons to aid others in life. I touched on my passion for remedying the income disparity within the United States through progressive tax policies, social programs, and improving the education system.</p>
<p>Hi Ozzy,</p>
<p>Just wanted to take a moment to congratulate you on being accepted to Dartmouth (I was silently rooting for you). Yes, it is an amazing opportunity and an even more amazing place to attend school. Hopefully you will be able to attend sophomore summer.</p>
<p>Thanks you for your service and all of the best for you in Hanover.</p>
<p>Also rejected. I think my high school grades definitely affected the decision.</p>
<p>Ozzy, What sybbie said. Congrats & have a great time in Hanover.</p>
<p>@dscmiss: Congrats. I had a compelling case but i was wondering if you could give me some general feedback on my essays? Maybe, you could indicate what I did wrong??</p>
<p>Ozzy, I am SO HAPPY to hear of your acceptance! Congratulations!! :)</p>
<p>@ Sybbie, AboutTheSame, and Consolation, Thanks! I was hesitant to post on this board at first but ultimately feel it provided me a great opportunity to express my anxiousness during the whole process.</p>
<p>It was such a surprise. Still is. I can not wait to be part of the school and the community up there.</p>
<p>Ozzy</p>
<p>@cordova1992: Sure, but let me warn you that I am quite particular when it comes to writing. So be prepared for constructive criticism.</p>
