| I think you to be very brave - or very hooked - to apply ED to Dartmouth from this area. Dartmouth in the ED round is not accessible for 98 percent of bright unhooked students in the DC area. It's a very small school that is very particular about where they take their students from. And it's not unhooked students from either the suburban schools or the privates here - by and large. |

The other is a double legacy. |

Major bump meaning no way would get in otherwise? |

| One of the NCS girls is, as the previous poster said, daughter of a VIP and very hooked. Visited Dartmouth this fall and stayed with another VIP’s kid from another DC prep school. The other is an athlete. |

| VIP meaning national name recognition? Political or entertainment/athlete type? |

VIP as in the parent made it up and can’t cope that their kid didn’t get in. |

| DD got flat rejected. I expected a deferral, frankly. 4.0 UW all advanced/AP classes at NJ public. 1550 and 35 (one and done on both), all 5s on APs. Strong but not exceptional XCs and essays. Oh well. Their loss. |
