<p>I called the McNutt Office at Dartmouth today, and managed to extract a few interesting bits of information:</p>
<li><p>Official Admissions Decisions will be mailed on March 31st-no earlier, no later.</p></li>
<li><p>This has probably been mentioned already, but the Admitted students weekend will run from April 20th to the 23th. The adcom said that students can stay for all, or part of the event, and that they should just let the college know about their plans beforehand. Housing and food will be provided (yum!) I also inquired about transportation to the gathering. Apparently, they provide travel grants to some admitted students-and likely letter people can already find out if they’re recipients by telephoning the office. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>Hope this has been of some use.</p>
<p>How long would it take for an admissions packet to reach the west coast? Anyone know?</p>
<p>check the usps website I think.</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.usps.com%5B/url%5D”>www.usps.com</a></p>
<p>Anybody have a rough estimate (in punds and ounces) how much one of those deliciously delightful admission packets weighs?</p>
<p>Also, would they send it priority or what?</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>would they contact the people who get travel grants? or is it our responsiblity to find out if we get one?</p>
<p>My guess is that they’ll include the grant info with the admission packet, the one that’s coming in early April. Along with that, I assume they’ll be including plenty of info about the weekend that’s being thrown. If you’ve already received a likely, you should just telephone, converse with the officers, and see whether a grant’s heading your way, as they might not be contacting everyone about it. They allocate something like $50,000 per year for admissions travel grants per year, so if transportation is a problem, I’m sure you’ll be able to get them to cover something.</p>
<p>Jeez… why would they start Dimensions on a WEDNESDAY, of all days???</p>
<p>Raspberry, </p>
<p>I wondered the same thing because last year it was from Thursday to sunday. The students may also have their first round of midterms coming up the following week, that could be why they changed it.</p>
<p>If you got a straight out invitation to Dimensions in your likely letter, then they will be a grant to help pay for the cost of yor trip tp Hanover.</p>
<p>when do they have the parties? =) and we’re allowed to crash student parties, right?</p>
<p>if we can’t make it during dimensions, are we welcome to come up any other time? just without the freefood etc?</p>
<p>ouch. thanks for the heads-up, sybbie!! (not that i was planning on getting wasted). um, would you know when D students usually start partying during the week? (i.e. friday night? hopefully thursday night? or earlier? haha ok i need to stop w/ the wishful thinking)</p>
<p>Daughter told me that she believes someone got kicked out during orientation, as she saw him when they moved in and hasn’t seen him since (who knows).</p>
<p>Part of that question I really did not want to know which is also why I havent read the sexual attitude thred. Leave me bliss in my ignorance 
(because I remember my college days). Daughter told me that it is pretty quiet Sunday thru Thursday (maybe because she is doing pre-med, facing labs every week) and is not much of a drinker. Events like winter carnival, homecoming and green key drinking may start wednesday or thrusday because there are no classes on friday. This is probably going to be a dry week because finals are starting. (she has a final saturday morning)</p>
<p>Some students set up their schedule so that they have classes on monday wednesday friday. X-hours for yor classes willbe one hour on tuesday or thursday. She has had professors who only use their X-hours right before a test and others who use their X hours every week. </p>
<p>She’s a quality of life person who tries to schedule her classes to start around ten and be finished by 1:30. She’s taking 1 class on tuesday thursday (tis term which ends on wedesday)and all she has done is complain because she has classes 5 days a week.</p>
<p>sybbie!! lol i have no idea what you were inferring from my question but i wasn’t going there at all, lol. it’s just that personally it’d be nice for me to be able to experience the party scene on not just one night so that if the parties are great on one night, i won’t think they’re an aberration/part of an attempt to show off to the prospective students (i dunno, that’s how i felt about williams).</p>
<p>Hey Taurustorus (I was young, once.)</p>
<p>trust me i want to be bliss in my ignorance, one of those things don’t ask don’t tell moments (or in my parent mode -don’t ask if you don’t want me to speak on it)</p>
<p>For a school with no frats prospies got wasted at Williams last year. They guy I was referring to who has been MIA since orientation got bombed at Williams, blitzed at Dartmouth during Dimensions ad may have gotten wasted at orientation.</p>
<p>Someone got kicked out during orientation?? What did they do??</p>
<p>I think she said it was underaged drinking</p>
<p>Man… that’s pretty harsh. I’m not condoning underage drinking, but I imagine it must happen every weekend at Dartmouth…</p>
<p>the worst thing is…imagine that this person is one of us. for four years you’ve worked your posterior off to gain acceptance to this college of your dreams - the moment you got the acceptance letter, you started bawling and then called everyone you’ve ever spoken to since you gained usage of your vocal cords - and then, not even a week after you arrive, you’re thrown out!</p>
<p>If this happened within days of coming to campus, before school offically started, I don’t know.</p>
<p>I was a little suprised at the thought of drinking getting the boot also but it depends </p>
