I just submitted my ED app, so this is all of the final info that I included in my application. Any insight is greatly appreciated :)

Essays:
Common app: I would give it an 8.5/10, my counselors loved it, but I would not say it was necessarily the best of the best lol.
Why Dartmouth: It was only 100 words, so very tricky to write. Talked about the art history program in depth, D-plan, study abroad (specifically the FIRE (study in Florence) program) and aspects of the community I fell in love with when I visited. I might give it an 8/10.
Extra Supplemental: Talked about how my inability to paint on large canvases led to my obsession with doing nail art/painting my nails. I also tied it to how I started my mini-business with nail polish in middle school. This is my favorite essay by far and it was very well-received by my college counselors and others who read it. I might say 9-9.5/10, but who knows.
Thank you in advance to anyone who responds!
