<p>When do Dartmouth decisions come out?
And any hope for an international deferred applicant? (That's me). Any ideas in general?</p>

2

<p>i second that question. any news on decisions??</p>

3

<p>March 31st. Yes, deferred international applicants can be accepted after being deferred.</p>

4

<p>There will probably lots of waitlist movement at all colleges because of the economy. Best chance is if you don’t need aid.</p>

5

<p>^Dartmouth is need blind to all students. Your chances may increase at other schools by not asking for aid, but at Dartmouth it doesn’t matter.</p>

6

<p>Dartmouth says they are need-blind, but I’m pretty sure they are just need-blind as to how much you need. One of the first questions on the Common App is do you intend to apply for financial aid and you check of yes or no. They definitely know if you applied, just not how much you need. So if you checked off no, I think you have a leg up in these economic times.</p>

<p>Who would check no? Only multi-billionaires would do that.</p>

<p>actually, no, a lot of simply upper middle class people who are not even millionaires would do that - people whos parents make a couple hundred thousand and therefore aren’t getting aid although it would help them alot if they could. making 250-400,000 per year in the northeast of america is actually not a lot - could be a teacher and a physicians assistant.</p>

9

<p>That is a lot. I used to live in the northeast. I used to live in NJ. The richest part of NJ at that. 250,000 is a lot.</p>

10

<p>pinkpineapple, 250,000 is a ton…it is certainly not middle class.</p>

11

<p>Wait, what time do we find out or are they mailing it to us? because on the Dartmouth website, it just said decisions will be released in early April so I’m really sure what that means in terms of online or through mail.</p>

12

<p>i disagree- i live in morris county nj and my parents used to make 250k together and it was not a lot compared to the people around us… and when my brother was applying to college he checked no to fin.aid but in the end we got f/a</p>

13

<p>Who would check no? About half of applicants at schools like Dartmouth. We have to unfortunately check the no box for our DS there!</p>

<p>Many colleges that are need blind for admissions are not need blind when it comes to the wait list. There is a budget for aid and when it’s gone it’s gone. This year a lot of existing students need a lot more aid than they did before.</p>

14

<p>250,000 is not a lot…especially if you have multiple kids and 50,000 tuition bills to pay…</p>

15

<p>******huh!</p>

16

<p>well we’re talking from a financial aid/paying for college point of view…people who live off of 50,000 with multiple kids albeit have it rough financially but as for paying for college, they will most likely get full aid from schools like dartmouth</p>

17

<p>are we sure it’s march 31st?</p>

18

<p>ivies all release decisions march 31st at 5 pm est this year or so they say</p>

19

<p>

</p>

<p>Uh, no. The state with the highest average teacher salary is CT, and it is just under $60K there. I do know of some teachers on Long Island in NY who were making around $80K ten years ago, but they were long time teachers and dept heads. Even the two of them together–the highest paid teachers I think I’ve ever known-- made nowhere near $250K.</p>

<p>The median physician’s assistant makes $81K, and the 75th percentile makes about $89K. They may make more in some parts of the northeast, but not THAT much more.</p>

<p>I live in the northeast, now in a poorer area, and before in one of the wealthiest, and I can tell you that $250K-$400K is a lot anywhere. Yes, it may not be uncommon in the wealthiest towns, but then, they ARE the wealthiest towns.</p>

<p>250+K income is definitely upper class for a family. However, I know several of my friends that do not qualify for financial aid (they are on the cusp), and will struggle to pay for the 50K tuition at a school like Dartmouth (many chose to attend a less competitive school with scholarship in order to lessen the financial burden on their family). Not every person that does not qualify for financial aid is filthy rich.</p>
