Did Dan end up getting accepted to Dartmouth?

Unfortunately, there isn’t a universal source that tracks every applicant—like Dan—in the various admissions forums, so unless Dan publicly posted a specific update about his Dartmouth decision, it might be tough to confirm. Sometimes applicants will update their original threads or create a results post, but unless you have a link to Dan’s specific profile or update, there’s no guaranteed way to know for sure.

One suggestion is to check the original thread where you learned about Dan’s application. Often, students edit their posts or leave a final comment revealing their outcomes after results are released. You can also use the search function in the forum to look up Dan’s username along with "Dartmouth" to see if an update exists. Sometimes, users post all their results in a single summary post at the end of the admissions season.

If you're applying to Dartmouth because you relate to Dan’s stats and activities, just remember that while one applicant’s outcome can be interesting, each decision is made on a much broader and individualized basis. Details like essays, recommendations, and context can all play a big role, even for applicants with similar profiles.

If you find Dan’s update or learn about his decision, it could help give you some anecdotal insight, but your application journey will be unique! Good luck with your Dartmouth application process. If you have questions about stats, essays, or other strategies for getting accepted, feel free to ask!
