I got mine today! I can't believe it, I'm thrilled! Dartmouth is one of my top choices But so far away from home...

likely letter = in (assuming it reads, "there is no doubt ..."

Congrats to all of you!
Are all of you on the east coast?, and, Had your HS already sent out first semester report? Thanks

I live in oklahoma! i have no idea if my grades got there in time..

I got one. I'm excited. I think the letter means we have a very good chance of getting in, assuming no criminal misconduct or extreme decline in academic performance.

I am in the south and my high school has not sent out the first semester grades.

It doesn't mean you have a good chance of getting in, it means you ARE in. Assuming you don't have some major reversal, such as a criminal conviction, a suspension for academic dishonesty, or a handful of Ds.

Congratulations.

For those who haven't gotten one, most people who are accepted don't, so don't get too worried.

I got one too!! but, the strange thing is, my counselor hasn't even sent my midyear report yet... haha.

Whoa, I didn't know application reviewing began so early!

Eli Rivas

I got mine without a midyear report as well, lol. It reads "There is no question that when we make our final decisions at the end of March, you will be offered admission to the College."

DrSpencerReid

Just out of curiosity, are you guys recruited athletes? URMs? Or just incredibly qualified?

Eli Rivas
