This blog post is designed to assist you in navigating Dartmouth's supplemental essays, providing step-by-step guidance and examples from previously successful essays. ## Prompt 1: "Please respond in 100 words or less: While arguing a Dartmouth-related case before the U.S. Supreme Court in 1818, Daniel Webster, Class of 1801, delivered this memorable line: 'It is, Sir... a small college. And yet, there are those who love it!' As you seek admission to the Class of 2028, what aspects of the College’s program, community, or campus environment attract your interest?" In this prompt, Dartmouth wants to see your genuine attraction towards the college. Here's a compelling response from a successful applicant: "Dartmouth’s liberal arts focus appeals to me with its promise of a holistic education. I am drawn towards the experiential learning at the Dartmouth Outing Club, which encourages leadership through wilderness adventures. Furthermore, the intimacy of a small college combined with the resources of a large research university presents an ideal learning environment. The prospect of undertaking research through the Presidential Scholars Program also fuels my enthusiasm." ## Prompt 2: "In 300 words or less, offer us an idea that you have had and found intellectually engaging." In this essay, Dartmouth wants to see how you engage with ideas that stimulate your intellectual curiosity. An example essay from a past applicant reads: "I am captivated by the concept of neuroplasticity: the brain's ability to rewire and adapt itself. The notion challenges the idea that our capacities are static and unchangeable, hinting at limitless potential for learning and development. I have tried harnessing neuroplasticity in my own life, experimenting with methods like spaced repetition and deliberate practice to enhance language acquisition and musical skills. My fascination with this concept has deepened my appreciation for the brain's complexity and inspired me to consider a major in Neuroscience. Exploring neuroplasticity has also made me cognizant of the significance of environment and routine in shaping our brain functions, leading me to reflect on the ways our education system could be revolutionized to better leverage our neural capabilities." Approaching Dartmouth's supplemental essays, remember to focus on showcasing your unique perspectives and experiences. Let your passion for learning and your curiosity shine through in your responses. In conclusion, Dartmouth’s supplemental essays are a gateway to show the admission committee who you truly are. So, write sincerely and passionately, and you will significantly increase your chances of getting admitted. Good luck!
