[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Admissions Beat (Dartmouth AO podcast) - talks about this today (Nov 4 podcast) - the admissions beat/AO Quiz Bowl. It's all about how AO talk to one another about the files they are reading, how they describe the applicants, what jargon they use, etc.

Gives a sense for the types of things AO values in applications and the things they don't value.[/quote]

A lot of clues in that podcast that they are looking for a certain type of personality. Applicants should be mindful of that when writing their apps and finding schools that appreciate the kid's actual personality. Dartmouth is very different than Princeton, for example.[/quote]

100% this podcast is wild.
It is all about "vibe"[/quote]

Very interesting.  I think they have acknowledged that demonstrated interest matters, even to schools, like Dartmouth, who technically say they don't consider it. They called applications with no connection/no visit/no interaction "stealth".   Also NN means "no need" . . . [/quote]

I thought Dartmouth had always counted demonstrated interest. Like Northwestern.[/quote]
