I realized that dartmouth was my top choice late in the game, so I only applied RD, but your videos are one of the biggest reasons I fell in love with the school so thank u!!! super nervous to find out next week
Thank you so much!! Lately I have been asking myself what college I want to attend and I felt that the school I would attend would define my character. But, after watching your video I now understand that it isn’t the school that defines you rather you define yourself and your class thus slowly one defines their school. I still, with all my heart, want to get accepted into Dartmouth and that is why I watched your video and many others; however, now I feel stable knowing that it is fine to not get accepted to such a prestigious college. If more people had your mindset: as a human race we have the power to define and change the world for the better, I know the Earth would be in an excellent place. You’ve made me think differently, Thank you so much!!! I hope your doing great!!!
aw this made me so happy reading your comment!!! I'm so glad to hear that you're able to have a healthier and more balanced perspective on college and what it means to get into various schools. I wish you all the best with college applications and I'm sure they'll turn out excellently for you!
This is actually first time “commenting” on your vid!! You inspired me to visit Dartmouth and I enjoyed the campus SO MUCH! My boss went to Dartmouth and my friend who goes to Dartmouth hosted me in her dorm room while I was visiting. SushiYa had the BEST 두부김치 ever, and I fell in love with Morano’s gelato. I’m applying for Early Decision, but still don’t know cuz some ppl say I barely have any chance 😢 I really hope to see you on campus if you are around!!! I heard a lot about you from other Korean students at Dartmouth. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your experience ily
wow thank you sooo so much!! I'm so glad you enjoyed dartmouth and had such a great visit! haha be careful who you listen to, people may not always have your best interest in mind, and may often speak out of ignorance anyways. I'm so glad you've enjoyed the videos and ahha comment more often!!! I love hearing from everyone who watches the videos!!
Hi Joelle! I’m Michelle and I was admitted ED in the fall (so thankful to be a ‘22)! I actually met Sean in December at an alumni meeting in Seattle, and I told him how much I loved your videos! Thanks for being so honest about everything at Dartmouth, I feel better informed because of you! Hope to meet you there in the fall! :))
OMGGGG yes I remember getting that snap from Sean ahhaha so nice to finally e-meet you I was hoping you'd comment or something so I could know who had met Sean. I actually flipped out bc it's like my goal to make sean lowkey yt famous ahahah. super excited for you! and I'm so glad you're able to find the videos helpful!
I wish I had been encouraged to apply ED, now I’m barely applying and their deadline is Jan 2 :( Also, how much do they weigh your essay you send in? Everyone keeps saying stats is not what they always focus on but I feel like if you send in a bad essay they won’t want you
aw no worries you got this! and ooh both are very important. They need a holistic sense of who you are and of whether you'd be able to succeed at Dartmouth, so as rough as it is, you need to have strong stats and essays.
I just found your channel while looking at Dartmouth videos! Love ur vid, its concise and direct. I also wanted to know as a Junior with an unweighted GPA of 3.82 and a 1550 SAT with 17 AP Classes throughout 4 years of HS and pretty good EC's do you think I have a shot at getting in ED even with my sorta low GPA?
aw thanks so much I'm glad! And what yeah definitely apply ED if you're interested haha that's definitely not a low enough gpa to rule you out esp given all the other stuff you have going on. nothing's every guaranteed but you'll never know if you don't give it a shot
I’m from an asian country, our grading system is different here. i want to try to apply for the ivy leagues or the ucs, but i dont know how. although my grades are not that excellent, they are okay, mostly from 85-98. i am excellent in the writing and speaking field, like debating, theatre, and declamation. do you think i have a shot? and also, how do i apply. im gonna try to boost my application form by completing a book or something.
oh yes don't worry I'd defs apply!! I can't say whether what they look for in international students is different from US students, but definitely do your best and apply, you never know what could happen!:)
actually what you could do if you want to go an Ivy League school is to take the SAT even multiple times until it seems you have your best score, and try to get really good grades even go to visit one of them in person!
Thanks for the video!. I am currently a senior in high school and just sent my application in to Dartmouth RD. I have a legacy of many generations of my dad's family attending and my grandfather donated to the school. I have an ACT score of 30, unweighted GPA of around 3.82 and have two AP classes, a half-dozen honors classes and other regular classes that I took in my high school. I have a little more than a dozen things on my resume and seem like a pretty well-rounded student. Do you think I have a likely chance of getting accepted?
hahaa sounds like you should know the answer to that!! ofc I think you sound like you have plenty of credentials in your favor. As I mention in the video, unfortunately college apps are pretty much a crap shoot, but sounds like most things are working in your favor! But your essays, interviews, etc. will all be the distinguishing factor to make you stand out against other students!
Thank you for making this video! I'm Korean student and my dream college is Dartmouth. So could you please take a video about financial aids or scholarship of Dartmouth?
of course! I'm so glad it was helpful for you! I don't have enough to say that would fill a whole video about financial aid at Dartmouth, but I do know that it is need blind for americans, permanent US residents, certain eligible non-citizens, and undocumented students in the states, but for international students it does take financial aid into account. However, there are loads of scholarships you can apply to, but I think looking at Dartmouth's admissions website would be the best way to get detailed and up to date info on that!
Hello, I am a peruvian student, do u think it is possible to get into Dartmouth without SAT? I only have my TOEFL scores, and I am planning to apply for financial aid, but I do not know if there are students who have been admitted without SAT scores :( Thank u a lot for sharing your experience.
Hi Joelle! I enjoy watching your videos because it motivates me to keep studying hard and train everyday to be a better diver so I can apply ED through diving! I was wondering..for the two subject tests, does the math part have to be math II or can it be math I? And what are your advices to an athlete/student? Thank you and hope you had a wonderful day!!
hey girl!! aww that's so encouraging to me thank you so much ahha I'm glad!! and hmmm Dartmouth should say on it's website about the subject tests but I believe most people take math II... and for athlete/ students in our outside of dartmouth, I'd say balance is key and rest is super important haha so just make sure that within everything you take care of yourself and aren't too hard on yourself because you perform worse under stress and exhaustion anyways. you'll do amazing thanks so much for commenting ahha I love talking to you guys!
Lol. Giving exam in iit is for free. so anyone can sit for the xm. But ivy college application needs a lot of other things. They don't want only book geeks
So what if I’ve been taking college classes since 9th grade and my gpa is fucked with a 3.3? Will they be nicer on me? I haven’t taken AP classes, I’ve only done duel enrollment. I’m currently a junior and I’m in 4 clubs (2 student governments, newspaper, girls who code) , 4 college classes and 2 online high school classes. I almost have my associates degree and I can graduate in 11th grade, I just choose not to.... I’ve been thinking about going to Dartmouth because someone that works there came to my program to talk about why ANSEP(my program) should apply to Dartmouth and etc.
I can't say anything for sure about how an admissions officer might read that, but definitely apply and make sure you explain your situation adequately (as you just did for me!) and I'm sure they'll look at it with a very holistic view
this is like completely unrelated but I've been like binge watching a bunch of your videos on Dartmouth and a question: can freshmen get a single dorm? and like, ik that some buildings are more for like freshmen and like other housing buildings are more for upperclassmen; do you have to change dorms every year? also, how is Dartmouth for pre-med? how's its medical school?
yes freshmen can get a single! it's not as common, but definitely possible. and you do change dorms every year! as for pre-med, a bunch of my friends were pre-med and a lot of them were able to get into great medical schools. I don't know anything about medical school rankings, but you can definitely look that up online!
@@joelleolol awh, was it just me that didn't expect you to actually reply?? You're so kind; thank you so much for taking the time to read my comment and considering it; your reply was very helpful and highly appreciated. I hope you're taking care and staying safe!! : )
Hey! I'm a legacy, and my dad and my uncle went there. Does the fact that my uncle went there too? Also, does it matter that I do dance, which isn't a sport there? I'm trying to calculate my chances regardless of the academic element lol
I believe only parents play into the "legacy" part but if your uncle attending has heavily impacted your decision to apply, definitely worth mentioning too! and honestly, unless you're a recruited athlete, your extracurriculars are really just opportunities for you to demonstrate leadership and passion:)
Hey, love your videos they are so helpful! I am British and want to apply to a US college and just wanted to know are there many British or international students at Dartmouth? Thanks!
haha mm I'd say it's actually very much based upon merit. Of course, it's always a weird balance as they're trying to maintain a good mix of ethnic backgrounds, but I definitely don't think they prioritize one group above the other on an equal playing field.
How to get in: 1. GPA, SAT, class rank, independent learning and curiosity 2. Extracurriculars: capable of making a college team, leadership positions (not just a variety of memberships)3. character: integrity, love of learning, compassion, capable of dealing with persons from all walks of life. 4. Interest in a specific college and able to say why you are interested and what have you done to learn about it. What can you contribute to the college and what can it contribute to you? Demonstrate that you are not just interested in a generic "good school"but are interested in one specific school for specific reasons. Have at least one quality that makes you really stick out.

I wish I had been encouraged to apply ED, now I’m barely applying and their deadline is Jan 2 :(
Also, how much do they weigh your essay you send in? Everyone keeps saying stats is not what they always focus on but I feel like if you send in a bad essay they won’t want you

Army
My mom went to Dartmouth, I have all the Merch, hopefully I can get in, I’m a junior in high school.
that's awesome!! best of luck to you!!
So this is such a late comment, but could you make a video about the classes you took in high school?
ooh interesting no one's ever asked me about this before! will defs throw that on my vid list!

@@joelleolol I think Dartmouth would contact me if I would like an interview with an alum, right? You may have said in the video. thanks!
they should contact you!!! not everyone gets an interview, but they try to match as many applicants as possible!

Actually IITs in India have 0.1% acceptance rates.
OMG SO ROUGHT WATTT
@@joelleolol around 1.3 Million people sit for the entrance exam for IITs and only around 10k make it in

Lol. Giving exam in iit is for free. so anyone can sit for the xm. But ivy college application needs a lot of other things. They don't want only book geeks
You can be national topper but Harvard will still reject you if you don't have any extraordinary eca or stat
Great video!

thank you! and YES there are tons of international students!!! definitely worth applying!
From what you've observed do Dartmouth admissions generally favor minorities?
haha mm I'd say it's actually very much based upon merit. Of course, it's always a weird balance as they're trying to maintain a good mix of ethnic backgrounds, but I definitely don't think they prioritize one group above the other on an equal playing field.
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa SO WISE. SO DEEP. Even when talking about dis stuff. you're cool
hahaha TANKS GIRL ILY
Does Dartmouth still require a peer essay?
it doesn't require but it suggests/ allows it!
Joelle thank you!
got in 2 years ago and still watched all 17 minutes
HAHHA ILY JOJO
this is such a great video
Thank youuuuu!🙃
How more people need write peer recommendations?
I'm so sorry I don't think I understand your question??
Who should I talk to write my peer recommendations?
How to get in: 1. GPA, SAT, class rank, independent learning and curiosity 2.
