If Dartmouth truly does not offer any NM scholarships I doubt they'll pay much attention to the student's first choice. I am a senior suffering from the same first choice problem as your D. The problem is that NM requires you to choose a first choice college by March 1, and most colleges notify you of your admission status on April 1. If this seems absolutely stupid to you...I agree. Here is some information I have found out that I hope will help. The actual deadline for NM is not actually March 1. March 1 is merely the date that NM first sends out the information to colleges so that each college may offer scholarships. IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND AFTER MARCH 1. Unfortunately, at highly selective schools there is a large advantage to being on the March 1 list they receive for that is what they look at first. It may then be advantageous to put a more-selective school as first choice and then if you decide to attend another school change your mind then. This information didn't solve all of my problems, but it helped.
