<p>Congrats to all, to the rejected and waitlisted - you have good news coming and great choices ahead.
We’ve been gone on spring break, so I missed all the hoopla.
Has anyone heard from Blu?</p>
<p>Yeah blu was waitlisted. I really hope she gets offered a spot. :o</p>
<p>But hey, that’s better than rejected!</p>
<p>BTW- THANKS sybbie!!! I still love this community and I haven’t given up on Dartmouth. Since I’m probably going to school on the east coast, I decided that one day I’m going to visit Dartmouth. Just for fun. 
I hope I see many of you there.</p>

<p>Hey sybbie…thanks for all the love! I still hold love for Dartmouth even though I was waitlisted and I am probably going to take a leave term at Dartmouth when I’m enrolled at Stanford…I know they have a program like that…I checked it in their viewbook so i’m very excited that Dartmouth is a possiblity for me sometime in the next four years. </p>
<p>Dartmouth ppl are so awesome…the people on this board are just so awesome…I can’t imagine what it would be like to be around 5000 of them. Thanks for everything sybbie and everybody else on this board. You all have made this whole college admissions process a lot easier and a whole lot memorable. Good luck with wherever ya’ll end up…we’ve worked hard to get here…so be proud and GO CLASS OF 2005! :D</p>
