Hi!! So i’m incredibly bummed. I didn’t get in and Dartmouth, it was definitely my first choice.
I’m attending a top public school and I’m excited, but I know that there is always a possibility of transferring.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get accepted to Dartmouth as a transfer? If so, how was your experience transferring? Are transfers treated nicely, or do they have a hard time fitting in and finding a group so late in the game?
Thanks!!
bump? anyone?
I know of two people who transferred into Dartmouth successfully from top public schools and they have absolutely loved it. Dartmouth is a community that is inclusive enough so that if you’re ready to hit the ground running, getting involved and active on campus won’t be a problem for a transfer.
On actually getting accepted as a transfer, I know that both cases I know of effectively made it their mission from the start of undergrad; top grades, strong recommendations, and they made it very clear why Dartmouth would be a better place for them personally and in their career. If you can make a compelling case for why you would be a positive influence on campus and a high achiever in the classroom I think you will have a solid shot.
