Advice is needed - a Dartmouth student just received a surprisingly low grade at the end of the summer quarter in one class. When they wrote to the professor to get feedback on their performance (which required a few emails and involving a dean) the professor responded - you never turned in your final. The student then provided electronic evidence that they had - in fact - submitted their paper on time, both in the weird wordpress site the professor used for this assignment - and because the wordpress site seemed odd - via email directly to the professor.

The dean told the student to submit a petition with their evidence attached. They did so. And now today - the dean has written and said essentially that they will leave it to the professor to decide if grading the final paper is worth it or not. ummmmmmmmm WHAT?

The student is now waiting to hear from the professor - but this professor has been pretty unresponsive throughout the whole process. And the student is trying to manage their incredible anxiety over what seemed like a situation that has an easy and obvious resolution - grade the paper and adjust the grade to whatever the addition of the final score would be.

The dean's response - frankly is the most shocking part of this. The advocacy and impartiality seems weak at best.

Is there a path for escalation if the professor decides there is no reason to rescore the exam she missed?

how to send the isfaa documents? They say on the website that it must be sent directly to their financial.aid@dartmouth.edu. is there any templates that i must send the document with. how will they associate this email with my common app application. I guess these are very amateur questions but i really have no clue

I have scrutinized everything about both schools of Engineering and A&S. Now, I am deciding which to apply ED. I am glad to go anywhere of these two, and now I am considering the acceptance rates. Which school is easier to get into?

Please tell me about the good and bad at Dartmouth. What are some important things to know?

Looking for statistics on the number of international students by country, but latest data I can find is a touch dated from 2018 and a lot has changed since then.

Could anyone bring me up to date?

Hi everyone, I’m really interested in Dartmouth’s MEM program because I like the curriculum and overall structure. Given its Ivy League status, I’d love to know what my chances might be based on my profile. Any feedback would be appreciated!

• Education: BTech in Computer Science (8.8/10 CGPA ~ 3.6 GPA)
• Research: Published a paper in the IEEE Journal
• Work Experience: Currently a Supply Chain Consultant at a startup that was recently acquired by an international management consulting firm (almost 2 years). Converted a prior internship into a full-time position.
• Internships: Completed multiple paid internships during undergrad in diverse sectors like Finance, Healthcare, AI/ML, and Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Data Analytics.
• Extracurriculars: Active in AIESEC, held multiple leadership roles at both local and international levels.
• Volunteering: Involved in various NGO projects (animal welfare, education for school girls).
• GRE: Yet to take (scheduled for late October).

Would really appreciate any insights! Thanks in advance.

Our son recently started Dartmouth and his 16 year-old sister wants to go there as well.

I’ve heard there are really good coaches that can help students prepare their résumé and extracurricular activities culminating in an optimal application to get into certain schools.

Can anyone recommend a good coach we can hire to help our daughter get into Dartmouth as she just started her junior year in high school. Thank you.

How are Dartmouth AI programs, how do they compete to other top 20s? Also are there good entreprenuership and tech internships? I am slightly worried because of its location and not being able to afford a car.

hey everyone!

senior at a top Liberal Arts College (think Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Wellesley).

feel like which undergrad you go to would define your early-, if not your entire, career trajectory.

🌳dartmouth folks — what opportunities do you think your undergrad degree bring?

my guesses:

1.people say “it’s not what you know it’s who you know.” Feel like the Dartmouth/Ivy undergrad circle is exclusive, something you couldn’t enter as a Master student…

Do you think being part of this community opens door to many, many opportunities?

2. do Dartmouth undergrads have higher earning potentials on average? (truth or myth?)

Thank you!!!

Hello! I am a high school senior in South Korea who is passionate about language and linguistics. I plan to apply to Dartmouth for my ED. If there are any linguistic majors, I wonder what your stats (GPA, Standardized Tests), extracurricular activities, and essay topics were, and which part of your resume you think really stood out to the admission officers.

Also, please tell me what you love about Dartmouth's linguistics classes, programs, and the community.

Basically the title. Heard from a student that members of the graduating class from 50 years ago greet the new freshman. Can anybody confirm if this is always true, sometimes true, or just false?

Really need some help as I have never written an sop before. I'm applying for masters in engineering management and would really like some inputs and critical feedback. Let me know if I can reach u via dm

Hi, I am currently a freshman at a T10 university majoring in Econ, but I really wish I were closer to home. My top choice was Dartmouth but I ended up matching with this T10 on Questbridge, so I didn't end up applying to Dartmouth. I deeply regret that decision and would like to try to transfer. I had a 3.94 UW gpa in high school, and a 1560 SAT. Is it possible to transfer to Dartmouth and what can I do EC wise to maximize my chances of getting in? I will apply as a mathematics major. Would it be okay if I can't find any research opportunities freshman year? Do I just continue with my high school projects and join clubs/orgs at my current college?

Oh my god Why am i so obsessed??

I AM EXTREMELY OBSESSED WITH DARTMOUTH AND WANT TO GO THERE SOOOOOOO BADLY YOU CANT IMAGINE (maybe can) 😭 I dont know why i like everythibg abt it. BIG GREEN RAAAAHHHHH!! The holy athlete atmosphere winter carnival outdoor activities green! The community! D-plan everything and everything... What can i really do to get in i am very lost right now.. Just a rising sophomore #Dartmouth MY WALLPAPERS ARE DARTMOUTH MY ROOM DECORATION IS DARTMOUTH I WOULD TURN DOWN HARVARD MIT ALL THE THINGS FOR IT 😭 (i am not drunk but dont know what is happening) I really know i belong there..

I was interested in including a resume on my common app, but I am unsure what that should look like. I want to make sure it looks professional and I don't know which template to use or if I should even use a template. I am applying to Dartmouth ED and wanted some help. Thank you to all!

I also understand that it's optional and only useful if I need it to add things that were not on the Common App. I want to go into more detail on my resume.

I am wondering how well Dartmouth places into Quant Trading and Quant Development? What majors do people tend to hold going into those? How does it compare to peer schools like Harvard or MIT? Any on-campus quant recruiting?

Hi!

I’m a junior in high school who lives less than fifteen minutes away from Dartmouth with a couple of questions about the possibility of becoming involved at the school. Does anyone know of opportunities at Dartmouth that might be open to a motivated high schooler taking part? Perhaps clubs hopeful for more members? Professors willing to let somebody sit in on a couple classes? Or even other opportunities like research or something of the likes? I am an extremely ambitious student and would be eager to take part in any and all activities that I could possibility be a part of. My interests range from political science to business and economics to Spanish and Latin American studies.

Anybody have any ideas or recommendations for me to check out? Thanks!!!!

basically what title says. i’m retaking in october, but 1490 superscore is my fall back. for context, my schools avg is in the low 1200s and i’ve qualified for national merit semi finalist status. i’m ranked 1st in my class and have taken 7 aps so far (5s on 5, 4s on 2). will my sat score tank my app? i’m also applying ed and participated in the dartmouth bound program, any advice is appreciated 🙏

I've gotten into film during the summer, but I'm not sure where to go when back on campus. Any recommendations?

Hello, I am a non-traditional international applicant based in London looking to connect with Dartmouth alums ahead of submission! Please reach out if you were in a similar position and are able to exchange some DMs, thank you ever so much!

Hi i got admitted late so I'm looking for a place to stay, just hoping to find somewhere close to the bus lines.

hmu if you’re selling a bike, thanks.

Is there anywhere on campus that would develop 35mm film and send scans? Closest place is Rutland VT

Currently a prospective applicant, and since I live across the country, I haven't been able to visit the school. What are some cool things at the school?

Can you get the permission to go to certain labs (especially electrical engineering labs) and build your own products there without being obligated to work on other people's projects? In my country the only way college students can enter labs is to get a research position and then they have to work on the research that is going on. In my high school however, I can literally walk into the school lab at midnight and no one would even notice, it's the reason why I was able to complete many projects of mine. And without the permission to use labs to work on my own projects, I can hardly thrive. Does Dartmouth give people the freedom to use labs like that?

Is there any place to get film developed on or near campus? And are campus darkrooms available to students?
