I just had my alumni interview for Early Decision yesterday, and my alumni interviewer told me that I was the first person from my school to ever apply to Dartmouth. Several students from a school 20 miles away have applied and gotten in, but no one has ever even applied from my school. Considering that I’ve taken all my classes at a community college rather than a high school, but I’m graduating from my public high school, do you think being the first person to apply will work in my favor?
