Last year had a "Please share with us something about yourself that is not addressed elsewhere in your application, and which could be helpful to the Admissions Committee as we review your file." prompt.

Does anyone know if you have to answer it?

last prompt is 250 characters, surely a mistake on Dartmouth's behalf
 
@chilly_md any advice on what to do in this situation? Submit a 250 character essay, or wait until they update it?
 
It seems they updated it to "250 words" but the actual text box will not let me type more than two sentences (about 250 characters)...is anyone else having this problem?

I would definitely wait, should be a quick fix

I recall a similar problem happening at a different school last year. It seems Dartmouth has resolved this one, but if it pops up somewhere else, you can wait a few days. It shouldn’t make a difference.

For inputting classes should I only put the ones I did well in? Like I did a postbacc where I took upper level biology courses and retook the first o-chem all for A's.

So could I use those upper level bio courses as the bio prereqs and the one ochem as the ochem, or do I need to use like the intro bio series that were associated with labs?

I am having trouble as well. Were you able to figure it out? I emailed them but its a holiday weekend so I probably won't hear back soon. Will update if I do hear back!

I ended up trying it the next morning and it worked. I'm not really sure why though. I'm facing the same issue for a different school as well.
 
How fancy are people getting with the first essay (plans for the coming year)? Are you just writing a short blurb on what you're doing? Maybe I'm overthinking it but I feel like I should have more to say...
 
How long are you guys making the no word limit prompts? So far, mine are only 200-250 words. ik quality > quantity, but I feel like I should be writing way more.

So… anyone still waiting on a secondary? OOS and still haven’t received. Checked spam, promotions, etc

Can I just say "nothing to add?" There's nothing that hasn't been addressed besides hobbies or maybe COVID disruptions. Diversity and challenge has been covered by essay #4.

For some, I chose to talk about my hobbies or something I personally am very passionate about (photography, in my case). It was mostly a ramble about what I appreciate about the hobby, but I feel like it gives insight into who I am as a person.
 
There is a "Publication" option on the document type dropdown menu on the upload documents tab. Should we upload full versions of pubs we listed on our primaries here, or is that overkill?

that's what I did. Downloaded/uploaded my publication.

part of me is like why would they have this option if they dont want that but another part of me also thinks maybe just for additional papers that have been published since primaries and not all pubs?
 
I paid application fee and the application portal says that I still have not paid. I received an email from them saying that they received the money but I'm not sure why the portal is updating yet.

Is this a glitch on their end, or do I have to wait for the fee to be processed?
