MechEng/AeroEng at Dartmouth + EngSciences VS EngPhysics Difference

Hey!

If I wanted to pursue MechEng or AeroEng at Dartmouth, which engineering major should I choose? Additionally, what's the difference between both of them (sciences and physics)? Which one is better for job placement, more credible/recognized, etc.

I have 2 b and 1 a (caie Cambridge a lvl) I will sit for sat and hoping to get 1470+ but I don't think I will be able to submit them by time as I applied ed . I know I have really low chances. I have so much family conflicts and financial problems that even focusing on studying WA challenging so I have no major ecas too. But I just wanted to try out as this was my dream college before everything started going downhill jus so I can say I tried

Where to watch men's lightweight rowing tomorrow 11/2?

I'm coming to Hanover to watch a family friend row tomorrow vs Harvard, I live somewhat nearby in Vermont and am mostly familiar with Hanover area.

I haven't been to watch a regatta before and am unsure where to park/where is the best viewing, etc. Our friend is set to row in one of the first heats and I'd like not to miss him because we were faffing around with the arrival logistics.

Cheers!

Magic, mind-reading, and comedy at Common Ground, Sat, 11/2, 10pm

Hello! I'm Joseph, I'm a touring magician and comedian, and I'm flying to you from Los Angeles with a brand new show!

I'm particularly excited to visit Dartmouth -- it's been on my list of campuses to visit for some time now.

So come on down if you're free, get your mind blown, and have some laughs. Oh, and stick around and say hello afterwards and tell me that we're already Reddit friends!

I was asked to write my friend a letter of recommendation the other day for Dartmouth and they told me I need to submit it by Thursday, but on the website it says they accept it later. I do not want to mess up their chance of getting into their dream school so can I submit it over the weekend?

Chemistry 5

Hello, I am required to take Chem 5 for my major. However, I only took Chemistry honors in high school. I'm very nervous for the class, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

Thank you

Application Question, Dartmouth specific

Hi Guys,

On Dartmouth's website it mentions that early decision applicants, in addition to grade 9-11 info, "will be asked to submit transcript updates, including quarter grades during the application review process, and mid-year and final grades if you are admitted to Dartmouth." I assume this means that my first quarter senior year grades are considered in the decision-making process?

Have they reinstated the swim test for y'all?

Crusty alum here, but was def shocked and saddened to hear about the death this summer, and hoping that Dartmouth actually forces undergrads to learn how to swim again.

should i invite my friend for my peer rec in the "other recommenders"section on commonapp?

I asked my friend to submit it on the commonapp section,and he did do it. Is that okay or should I remove it and request him to send it via the Dartmouth portal?

Application question: should I leave a recommendation spot empty on common app if I plan to invite peer recommender through the Dartmouth portal (post submission of common app)?

My best friend is writing my peer rec, but I plan to have her submit it directly onto Dartmouths application portal post submission of the common app (mostly need to do this bc she is also applying to schools and will take extra day to touch up letter). Should I fill both of the recommendation slots on common app or leave one empty? If I fill both will that remove my option to add the peer rec through the portal?

Architecture course prerequisites?

I’m a 28 and want to try out the Architecture 1 course in the studio art department (if I can get a spot). Are there any prereqs or anything?? I can’t find anything on their website. I have no experience in the studio department or with engineering yet, but I’m really interested in architecture and want to try out some base level stuff

Thoughts on the D-pine?

What do people think about the D-pine brand mark (see logo of subreddit). Thoughts about it as a symbol of the college instead of the older seal? I see it everywhere nowadays and it seems like admin is really trying to phase out the old seal...

Electrical Engineering to patent law?

Hey guys! I am currently a senior in highschool who has found a love for the culture and campus of Dartmouth. However, as someone who wants to go into electrical engineering, I’ve heard that sometimes Dartmouth isn’t the most specialized school.

So my question is do yall think that Dartmouth would be a good undergrad for EE if I want to pursue patent law?

Is financial aid really what you CAN pay?

Hi, I’m a 17 year old male international student, who plans on applying to Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth,Brown and Cornell, among others, next year. So I have done my research, and on every schools website I see, that financial aid is meant to cover what you acc CAN pay. My Dad is really worried about this not being true, and him and my mom having to stretch themselves to pay my fees. My parents can’t even come close to paying the schools fees of any of these schools to be honest. The css profile form asks for so much specific information, so I do think it should know that my parents really can’t afford to pay much. So I need to know that if I do get in, because I’m directing so many of my efforts towards applying to top schools in the US, will my parents actually be made to pay what they CAN pay without it being a heavy burden on them.

Transferring

Hi everyone :)

I'm a sophomore at a liberal arts college in the US. I'm thinking of applying to transfer to Dartmouth.

The reason I want to transfer is mainly academics, connections, and my desire to go to a really good grad school afterward. A school like Dartmouth will let me explore my fullest potential. So far I've been finding courses at school pretty easy and I'm advised by my advisors (including an alum from Dartmouth who said he wants to write me a letter of recommendation) to transfer. At school, I'm very involved and I'm pretty ambitious. My GPA is 4.0. I love academics and so far the Econ department at my school is not cutting it. I know that Dartmouth will offer me a more rigorous undergrad education and better opportunities in and out of college. I'm interested in doing Economics research as well, and the Econ faculty at Dartmouth seems great.

Do you think transferring would be wise? How many transfer students generally get accepted? ( I know the student body there is small). Please give me any advice. Thank you so much!
