Yeah… unfortunately some of the results threads have gotten insulting. BUT, for those who are familiar with the commenters on the Dartmouth (in particular) boards would know that there is a distinct lack of commenters actually associated with the school (students, alumni).

As for the stat padding at Dartmouth, that was my initial reaction too. (Among the first 5 or so people with 2350+, only one got in, two deferred, two rejected). But, I took the liberty of searching for their previous threads, and I found no inconsistencies. I seriously doubt that people would be padding their stats for ‘chances’ threads, or at least not consistently for the past 6+ months.

Btw, you guys do sound a little arrogant in your comments.

We are refined (prospective) Yalies! We do not stoop to such levels. How gauche.

Also, I had a family friend get one of those calls from Yale about an outstanding essay. He let me read it and it was actually really bad and cliche. But then again, who am I to judge?
