Waitlisted Students - what additional materials are you submitting?

<p>Recs? Updates?</p>

<p>I'll send an EC update and maybe an additional rec. Will Dartmouth consider 2nd semester grades? It appears that they inform most students on the waitlist in late May-early June, and I don't think my school will have grades out by then.</p>

<p>Also, would it be helpful for me to mention that I would definitely attend Dartmouth if accepted off the waitlist? I am going to deposit at Virginia, a school I love, but would go to Dartmouth if accepted</p>

<p>I’ve been waitlisted at a few schools and am planning on submitting a small update to each - just some EC stuff. Most of my schools told me additional recs would be unnecessary. </p>

<p>I’ve gathered from past waitlist threads on CC that you should definitely mention that you’ll enroll if accepted. </p>

<p>Anyway… good luck! I got WLed at my top 3 (actually, my top 5, if I think about it) and am going to try my hardest to get accepted at one or two of them. And if it’s any consolation to you, there are several cross-admits on the Dartmouth FB group who are leaning toward other schools. There’s hope yet! :)</p>

<p>Really quick - from an old Crimson article:</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Anyone have an answer to the part about grades? My grades have dipped quite a bit (from all A’s throughout HS to a few projected B+'s at the end of second semester). Like I said, I’m not sure if my final grades will be sent by the time Dartmouth informs me of my decision.</p>
