<p>1) Does the Dartmouth Book Award help you get in?
2) How many SAT 2’s are required?
3) When are the interviews held?</p>
<p>I can’t help you on questions one or three, but Dartmouth requires two SAT Subject Tests according to its website. </p>

<li><p>I think mine (for RD) was held around early March. I seem to remember him saying that the deadline for interviewers to conduct their interviews was March 1, but that was apparently flexible by a few days.</p></li>
<li><p>I can’t help you out with the Dartmouth Book Award (having never heard of it) but I would assume it does not give any kind of significant advantage compared to other similar awards. I know that at most elite schools, even participation in their SSP’s are not guaratees for admission.</p></li>

<p>Is the Dartmouth interviews initiated by them, or do we need to contact them?</p>
<p>They’ll contact you. Don’t freak out if you don’t hear from anyone though, because you will not be 100% guaranteed to have an interview (though it’s highly likely). If you don’t, it will not hurt your chances in any way, though I would not recommend turning down an interview from the alum who contacts you =/</p>
