They really aren't lying when they say it varies. Last year's thread didn't have anyone posting that they got off the WL (might have been offers that weren't posted) but the 2018/19 thread had a handful of people post about being accepted off of the waitlist. MSAR is definitely misleading as it says the WL is only 10-30 students, but people in previous threads say that the total interviews are split with 1/3 accepted, 1/3 WL, and 1/3 rejected. That would imply at least 200 people on the WL (not sure how many accept their spot though). Basically there's no formula but it seems like any offers will come out from early to mid-May.
Let the non-traditional and unique aspects of your application shine throughout the interview. I didn’t click with my faculty interviewer and thought I bombed the interview honestly, but I stuck with my non-trad message and got the A a few weeks later.
Bro you are everywhere. 14 acceptances!!
Thank you!
Sorry for the late reply, late 10/15
No. They just received their Board of Trustees cost for this coming school year so they’ll probably start sending aid packages within the next week or two. That’s what the Director of Financial Aid told me.
my interview group (interviewed in March) was told that everyone could expect to hear back by the first week of April at the very latest!
No I was accepted on 2/12 and haven’t received any student email/account info yet
Speak up but don't be rude/too overbearing. Try to be as conciliatory as possible. Be a good listener and build off of other people's ideas.
Main goal is to work together, handle differences in opinion in solving a common goal, and try to make sure everyone is engaged in problem solving. Biff has good pointers too.
Might be higher this year since people are accepting more interviews (no travel/lodging/time costs), but hard to know the situation at Geisel specifically and how their admissions team is strategizing.
Don't think so. Their finaid submission deadline is April 1, might not be before then.
not yet on my end
Thank you both! That is very helpful
I think this is the number of people that stay on the waitlist and aren't "released" by Dartmouth. So while ~250 waitlist offers are made, only ~30 "stay" if that makes sense. I know towards the summer, they start releasing people off of the waitlist, and only 10-30 remain
Lol that would be a strange and deceptive way to present that data. Would make more sense though
Where did you get the 250 number from?
I reached out to their office, and I believe that they started reviewing cases this week and will send packages out on a rolling basis. Fingers crossed for $$!
