I'm trying to arrange to have a student host but when I click on the link for the hosting program...
dms.dartmouth.edu/admissions/hosting/contacts
They ask for a username and password...Was the username and password given to us somewhere in the confirmation e-mail or do we need to call the Admissions office to find out?

Its given somewhere in the email attachment.
Do I have to book the Dartmouth Coach well in advance to get a good rate?
My interview is Thursday of next week.

Rejected 33Q / 4.0... Canadian Applicant
I'm sorry to hear this. Do you mind sharing when you were complete. Best of luck w/other schools!
I was complete around July 18 I believe. Thanks!
If you're coming from Boston you don't need to book beforehand and there's no difference in rates between advanced booking and buying on the day of.

I love your attitude! Sorry about the rejection, but life is so much better when you have a sense of humor about things like that. I'm sure you're going to go far in this career with that attitude
Haha I just lol-ed in the library reading that.
atrp, sorry to hear that. Would would mind me asking your stats?

Congrats! Is it via email or regular mail?
Not all decisions are made in the order of interviews. You could interview in October and be accepted in February while someone else at you interview day could get in two or three weeks after their interview. So, unfortunately, just because the committee has discussed your application post-interview, it doesn't mean you'll necessarily hear anything soon. Or, you could. 😉
Good luck!

Hey guys, I received the acceptance letter through the mail.
For you statisticians out there, I interviewed on Sept 30th, 3.8cGPA/sGPA, 37S, and a contagious smile.
😀 Best of luck to everyone else out there!

Complete since 9/28. No Word. 3.86/3.88 34P. Goodluck on your interview(or I hope it went well).
complete since 9/08 and still haven't heard...really starting to lose hope T_T
34Q cGPA 3.96 sciGPA 3.99
would really love an interview at Dartmouth esp since it's one of the few schools that provide financial aid to Canadian students.
I want to send an update letter since I've just received a TA position, should i do that via email or snail mail? and to whom?
Thanks 😳

I see you are not on premed101?
(at least I haven't seen anyone post a rejection from Dartmouth this year yet)
Don't lose hope! There were people in last year's thread getting invites after 5 months! 🙂
You can address your update to Andy Welch (Dean of Admissions). Andy prefers snail mail but you can do email.
Andrew.G.Welch at Dartmouth dot EDU
I'm not sure a TA position is worth sending an update, but if you think it's a substantial change from your application, go for it. Good luck.

It seems as if it has been going in order, so I suppose the Oct. 5 interview session should be next. Most likely some people will be coming out with acceptances this week, from that interview date.
I recall we were told that very few people will get acceptances and rejections at this time. Their whole admissions process includes a ranking (was it 1000 points?). After the interview, your file is presented to the committee and if your total rank is really high (or really low), then you find out about 6 weeks post interview. The Dean indicated that MOST students do not fall in those categories and that the majority (of those accepted) finds out later.
Sooo, if you do not hear anything around the 6 weeks post interview, you are still in very good shape.
Is that just wishful thinking though?
I ask this because in reading the previous years thread, the batting average acceptance range was greater than .8 starting out. By the end of the season it had only moved down to .750. This is just a small drop, is it really likely most of us are in that range?

No one on the previous thread could possibly know the cutoffs unless they were on the admissions committee and it is extremely doubtful that any members of that committee would post such information on this board.
Remember that in every year there are students who are accepted off the waitlist. So, obviously, people with a lower "batting average" have a shot at getting in.

Soooo I just got an interview invite to DMS. Huzzah! Problem is that I'm coming from Los Angeles and Hanover seems like a huge pain to get to.
Has anyone had to not accept the dates they offer in the email? They want me to come mid-December but that's not at all possible for me. Plus I work full-time and am almost out of vacation days, so the fact that they only interview on Tues/Thurs kind of sucks (oh well).
I'll be in DC for two weeks around x-mas...has anyone made the DC-Hanover (or similar) drive? It's like 9 hours and would probably require my renting a car, so I'm not sure if it's worth it. Another option is seeing if they'll let me visit in Janurary and fly to Boston then take the Dartmouth Coach. Any others who had to travel from LA to Dartmouth? Thanks 🙂
