didnt mean to make my last response anon (i am the 7/5 submitter, purple anon from a few posts ago). looking at those who matriculated last cycle without scrolling quite far there are 100% people who submitted in july got the ii in late december or january and were admitted. I haven't looked at the ratio of all people who were early submitters late interview to say what the outcome is but i do know for sure that dartmouth gives later interviewees full consideration and its not like your "interviewing for the WL" after a certain date.

with all of that being said id say my current state is best described as cautiously optimistic or pessimistically intrigued (ik these are contradictory). What I mean is that they have doubled back and hit people who dodged a wave with an R on multiple ocassions already this cycle; however, I do believe that they will circle back and hit some of us in the limbo group with an ii later. Do we have an uphill battle from there? Probably, but im more optimistic about geisel now than i was at the start.

Sorry, didn't mean to be incorrect in my estimation. To be clearer, as a 7/4 submitter, I only looked at the first 10 days of July (sorted by submission date), and I realize now I missed one applicant who matriculated after a later interview.

I definitely agree with you that I've only gotten more optimistic with every wave, but that I am also proceeding with caution lol

Certainly fair to proceed with caution (that's also how id approach it)! Through a very quick scan there seems to be 5 or so submitters left who haven't heard one way or another from the first week + of July. I wouldnt be too surprised if a reasonable rate of these people get ii (although it is likely an uphill battle)

same! I survived two huge stanford R going past my date before a II, and now I'm surviving so many Dartmouth R's I hope they circle back with a II instead of R

this was me and I just got a II LOL I guess my app is one adcoms r unsure with I keep dodging and getting IIs, good luck to everyone else though fingers crossed!

what dates are they scheduling for? congrats on the II!!
