Dartmouth bound: Two Newmarket seniors get Ivy League acceptance
By Kathleen D. Bailey
NEWMARKET – Not one but two Newmarket High School seniors will be heading to Dartmouth College in the fall.
Zoe McGuirk and Taylor Kenison were both accepted as part of the Ivy League school’s early admissions program.
How hard is it to get into Dartmouth? The college accepted just 8.7% of its 22,033 applicants to the Class of 2022.
The two Newmarket seniors have similar interests, in politics and international relations, and similar career focuses. But they selected the school through different paths.
McGuirk, ranked eighth in her class, at first wanted something different from Newmarket, New Hampshire and New England.
