Is Mock Trial an “acceptable” extracurricular activitie?

That’s quite the wrong way to think about how the Dartmouth social scene works. There are no unacceptable ECs – you won’t be looked down upon for any EC, really – or at least no more than at other schools. (I suspect spending all your time on Dungeons & Dragons or an MMORPG is not the best way to build up social cachet anywhere.) There are however ECs which give you a boost in the social scene – and at Dartmouth those ECs are sports and Greek houses. Put it this way: ECs can’t really drag you down, but they can push you up significantly. Any club sport is quite good.
