It's been a year, and my "Why Dartmouth" essay is still not done...

The second and final post of my "Why Dartmouth?" story. Reflecting on my decision to attend and move to Dartmouth College!

Behold the answer to the question I have been trying to find a concrete answer to for quite some time… "Why Dartmouth, Gavin?" (Part 1)

As Dartmouth prepares to welcome the incoming Class of 2026 this fall, I was inspired to interview Professor Doyle and understand what makes Dartmouth such a unique and exciting community from a professor's perspective.

Why Dartmouth? Academics, definitely, is not everything.

More than just "good academics"

Wow, I can't believe that it's been over 30 months since I was writing my application to Dartmouth as a high school senior. Today, I'll go line by line to see how my "Why Dartmouth?" essay has evolved over these past two years.

I thought about how I would attack as I paced from corner to corner, my head as vacant as an empty bottle. The crumpled-up drafts on the floor just added to my nervousness, but I needed to write a 'Why Dartmouth' essay. How? I had no idea.

It's decision time, and you're probably terrified. This is why I picked Dartmouth and how you should pick the school right for you!
