<p>What kind of stats would be needed for a transfer to Dartmouth do you think? Hispanic male, although I’ve heard theres no AA in transfer admissions. Thanks.</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>You basically need amazing stats. Pretty much everyone on this board got rejected, and they had like 3.7 + gpas coming from well known school. The only person i could think of that got in was a 3.97 from berkeley (which is already an amazing school). Being a hispanic wont help you as dartmouth doesnt do affirmative action.</p>
<p>I was one of the “rejectees” and I can personally say that Dartmouth transfer admissions are extremely competitive. I got waitlisted (which was an accomplishment in its own right given the fact that so many qualified people were rejected). I had a 3.9+ from a top 15 school.</p>
<p>Don’t even apply…unless of course you like to give money away.</p>
<p>This was an incredibly tough year for Dartmouth, but next year might be slightly easier. Transfer admissions are hard to pinpoint. Brown has wavered between 24% and 5% the past three years, Dartmouth doesn’t waver quite that much (transfer admit rate is usually below 12%) but this year I’d be surprised if it were higher than 5%.</p>
<p>The # of transfer applicants Dartmouth accepts, is in great part determined, as it was this year, by the yield % of the incoming freshman class. When more students decide to to say “yes” to letters of acceptance than the admissions office thought would accept, there are then fewer openings for transfer students. It’s all about balancing “heads and beds”, especially at a college like Dartmouth which doesn’t have enough housing for all undergraduate students at one. Hence the origin of the “D” plan.</p>
<p>i dont think you’d honestly want to go to dartmouth</p>
<p>maybe they should put their minds together and decide to build a dorm.</p>
<p>Actually housing is becoming less of an issue with a number of new dorms on campus. The issue is class size and this year Dartmouth was significantly over enrolled (Yield was 3-4% higher than expected).</p>
<p>actually i got into dartmouth this year and i didnt have “amazing” stats. i thought i had absolutely no chance, but i applied just for kicks, and somehow i got in. So just because its hard to get in, i dont think that should discourage you from applying. I mean, obviously dont bother if you have a 2.7, but if you think there is a reasonable chance and you have good stats, i say go for it.</p>
<p>If you are a community college student, it’s the only Ivy League institution my college president actively tells students not to bother with. But hey, if it’s your dream, apply and find out.</p>
<p>i love when people say they applied “just for kicks” because i think the whole transfer application process is quite a commitment</p>
<p>Seriously. Plus, my advisors would kill me if I asked them to write recommendations basically for no reason. :p</p>
<p>well dartmouth takes the common app so it wasnt that big of a “commitment” seeing as dartmouth wasnt the only school i applied to.
I was just trying to be helpful to the OP, theres no need to be rude</p>
<p>lol im not being rude</p>
