Major strength/weakness: GPA/ AP Scores fo sho are weaknesses. And to you ball guy, come on, lighten up, seriously, Dartmouth obviously looks at more than just “credentials”. I forgot I applied until they contacted me for an interview; I had put in my supplement in Decemberish but forgot to send my actual transcript/recs/school profile and stuff, so I sent all that in late February/ early March. My interview went really well and she was really impressed with me. I have no idea how I got in, but I’m pumped! Just gotta choose between Dartmouth, Tufts, and NYU, and gonna stay on the Columbia waitlist.
