<p>My daughter is considering applying ED – took the tour this summer and loved everything about Dartmouth. I have no idea if she has a shot and I’m not looking for any chancing feedback. But I’m wondering about what the typical Dartmouth student is like?</p>
<p>We live in a very rural university town in the (way) deep south. My daughter is a minority white/Jewish student at a public high school where many of the students are disadvantaged. She is funny, friendly & outgoing and knows how to see similarities instead of differences. She’s not naive but she’s not urban savvy either. I am worried that (god willing) if she gets in, she might end up feeling like a hayseed up there. Are Dartmouth students typically down to earth or more uptight? </p>
<p>She wants to go greek (a nightmarish process down here – it’s all about your car, clothes, pedigree). What’s it like up there? Do they evaluate kids on who they are or by who their people are?</p>
<p>One last question: How is Dartmouth’s English dept? Seems I only hear about Econ, Sciences. She is likely to major in English Lit. </p>
<p>Thanks for your time and feedback!</p>
