Passions: figure skating
Recommendations: I have no idea. I was not a teachers pet, and I participated intermittently, but I think they both liked me. Peer rec was good but maybe a little generic?
Essays (and content, if you like): I wrote about my volunteer work skating with the children, and my supplement was about my really weird last name.
Interview: went well, talked a while about my life/hopes for Dartmouth and listened to interviewer well about her experience there; voiced my enthusiasm for Dartmouth
Your Prospective Major: Economics?
State/Country: Massachusetts
Ethnicity/Gender: half asian half white female
Hooks: figure skating - I met with the coach (skating is big at D) and she wrote me a rec letter as well.
Strengths/Weaknesses: obviously GPA, SAT 2 scores; but I moved right before junior year so it was understandable. i think figure skating helped me a lot and I am beyond thankful
Your Assessment: Looking through these results and hearing from others, I am appalled at how brilliant you all seem… if you are not accepted to Dartmouth that means it was not meant to be… better opportunities await you!
Other Acceptances/Rejections/Waitlists/Whither you plan(ned) to apply: planned on applying to many New england schools
