Hi! I’m considering ED Dartmouth but I have 4 Cs from my dual enrollment courses this last semester, so I’ve been a little hesitant, and considering trying to work on improving my grades next semester/year before submitting RD.
Im homeschooled and first gen so I’m a little lost in the admissions process so I’m trying my best, but I’m not really sure if EDing would be the wrong move.
Dartmouth is definitely my first choice, but I’m still hesitant because of my grades.
Overall they are fine, I have a 3.8 UW GPA, but I feel like having Cs really drags my chances down. Do you have any advice?

"Alumni" refers to a group. "Alumna" refers to a female alum, the plural of which is alumnae. "Alumnus" refers to a male alum, the plural of which is alumni. Just saying!

Dartmouth prospects who prioritize the Frat scene are not actively recruited in fact rejected from admissions however the fraternities filled with current Dartmouth students have a negative reputation… 🤨 hmmm.
Improve the reputation of Dartmouth fraternities by admitting prospects who value the Greek life…Just a thought
