<p>Hi, </p>

<pre><code> What is Unique about Darthmouth's Application Process? I did this in the Stanford thread and got some interesting responses, so I figured I'll do the same here. I'll only be applying to one IVY, which will either be Darthmouth or Cornell. So it'll be helpful if I can get to know more about each's unique application process. Thanks

<p>Peer review is compulsory. This isn't unique, but it's not common to the colleges I applied to. I think it was the strongest point in my application.</p>

<p>They also asked me what four or five words I'd use to describe myself, but I hope this wasn't significant.</p>

<p>Dartmouth's app was the easiest for me to fill out. It requires only one essay (the one on the common app), and if you're applying to many schools at all (I applied to 10), you'll have that essay written anyway.</p>

<p>There is no special essay for Dartmouth (whereas all other Ivies have special essay(s) that must be written).</p>

<p>Harvard doesn't.</p>

<p>Brown doesn't either.</p>
