That's what I thought too hmom5. As people posted, I checked out their post histories, and half were Yale SCEA deferrals (to be fair, some were admits). But I guess that attests more to the difficulty of Yale's early program than their aptitude as students (I'm a MIT deferral).
My theory would have to be that Dartmouth processes their applicants and then triages them. The strong academic cases are the ones that get the likely letters. Then they continue examining and check for URM status, special conditions, or merely personality-based admits. Dartmouth's student body is extraordinarily diverse.
