<p>Student Applying To Colleges
3 Details
-Will Surely Get Into Both, so don’t bother with that.
-I am intending to study the Literature (The Classics)
-Is the Ivy League name more important that St. John’s “Great Books” curriculum?</p>
<p>“will surely get into both.”</p>
<p>If you really want the stats, I’ll give them, but I would be wasting your time and my time. haha</p>
<p>You might as well write Dartmouth a letter saying…</p>
<p>“I’m not applying because I am going to get in. If you want my stats, I could send them, but it’s a waste of time. I start my classes next week.” </p>
<p>That’s the vibe I’m getting. No one will answer your question.</p>
<p>You might as well campaign to become president, as that probably seems feasible in your eyes.</p>
<p>I wrote this post so that I could get an opinion on whether the Dartmouth Literature and English Department would provide a comparable program to the “Great Books Program” at St. John’s College (it is actually a fascinating program) and if not is the Ivy League name that important?</p>
<p>Stats:
4.0 UW
4.8+ W
2300+ SAt
60 Credits of dual-enrollemtn credit (all As)
Class President
Valedictorian
Debate Captain
Etc… Lots of stuff</p>
<p>Took a year off to volunteer for the Church, so applying later this year.</p>
<p>Lol. I hope for your sake they don’t care about personality when making admission decisions at Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Dartmouth: Reach
St. John’s: Safety</p>
<p>Pay attention to Dartmouth’s distribution requirements; if you want something similar to St. John’s College you can always apply to Columbia…</p>
<p>The only reason I posted “Will surely get in” is because, I wanted the focus to be on the curriculum of St. John’s program Vs. Dartmouth’s English Dept. and not on whether or not I could actually get in. I have a splendid personality and I am not being egotistical.</p>
<p>Thank you very much, Catria. I will keep that in mind.</p>
<p>What made Columbia not fit you?</p>
<p>The fast life of the city really isn’t for me. I might apply if you think it is a good fit. I actually have a recommendation from a former chair of the English dept. about an essay of mine. I live in NYC.</p>
<p>“I have a splendid personality”
Nope. Not egotistical at all;).</p>
<p>Well thanks for the feedback, I probably won’t be on a computer for the next 6 months in the part of Spain where I’m going to be. haha. Churches hate technology.</p>
