<p>Who can give your brother more insight to the process than you who has been through it already. Apparently you know what it takes to get in. You also know that if your brother was going to be recruited as an athlete, he would have heard from a Dartmouth coach before the ED process took place. While having a sibling may be a small plus, he’s going have stand on his own merits.</p>

<p>oh I certainly realize he is going to have to stand on his own merits, as well he should, but I dont have much idea what they are looking for. With ivy admissions as much of a crapshoot as they are, its hard to say why I got in, so its hard to offer any good advice</p>
