<p>for anyone who is wondering, after I was deferred I sent in a letter restating my interest in Dartmouth (and why I would be a good fit) as well as a extremely glowing, Dartmouth-specific rec from my Dartmouth alumni teacher. I also provided an update on recent achievements (though nothing particularly amazing, so it probably didn’t make too much of a difference).</p>
<p>tbh, I don’t really know why they would send me a LL, other than the possibility of them thinking something along the lines of what someone here said (“Why did we defer them/Need to sooth hurt ED feelings” etc). but at any rate I’m quite happy they did!</p>
<p>congrats to all other LL recipients, and good luck to everyone else!!</p>
