People, people, people.** You obviously have some EC’s that were important to you and in which you excel that you are likely to continue their pursuit in college. Meet the underclass members of those organizations and ask yourself do I want to spend the next four years with these people. If you have any inkling of what you want to study, find a professor whose research interests you and ask them out for a cup of coffee on your visit. Discuss their research with them (read at least one of their publications) and ask how they would approach Dartmouth given your interests. Don’t worry yourself about sending an email to someone at Dartmouth you do not know. The fact that you have earned an invite should provide a warm reception from those that want to continue to build the strengths of the departments and the organizations that are important to them on campus.</p>
<p>For the most part, students and professors are going to be straight shooters with you. They care less about yields and more about making sure the next class of students will thrive in their environment.</p>
<p>Congratulations and good luck with your decision.</p>
