Swimmers train in Ireland, compete in Vegas over break

|

The Dartmouth men's and women's swim teams spent their winter break training, globe-trotting and competing as they traveled to Las Vegas, Nev., and across the pond to Dublin, Ireland. The University of Nevada, Las Vegas Invitational gave the Big Green a chance to test themselves against a group of athletes that are seldom available for competition on the East Coast. "It was good to compete against West Coast teams," women's co-captain Liz Mancuso '08 said.

Early applications increase 11 percent from last year

|

With an 11 percent increase in applications, Dartmouth awarded early admission to 400 students. Dean of Admissions Maria Laskaris '84said this year's early decision was "more selective than it's ever been." Out of the 1,428 early decision applicants, the 201 men and 199 women admitted -- 28 percent of all applicants-- comprise what Laskaris called "an academically accomplished, diverse and multitalented group of students." Early admitted students represent 37 percent of the expected Class of 2012, with the rest of the class admitted through regular decision in April. In a memorandum sent to the applicants' guidance counselors, Laskaris said that of the 1,428 early applicants, 526 were deferred and 471 were denied admission.

Women's basketball faces tough foes, preps for league play

|

Tilman Dette / The Dartmouth Senior Staff The Dartmouth women's basketball team found wins hard to come by over the holiday season, but the team's play improved during late December as the Big Green women look to translate the experiences from the non-conference slate into Ivy League success. The team played tough against several NCAA tournament-caliber teams, a feat made even more impressive when considering that the team had a full month between home contests. Co-captain Kristen Kraft '08 sees the non-conference winter break schedule as a way to prepare for Ivy League play by facing tough non-conference opponents. "I believe we grew as a team over break," Kraft said.
