Could you say what date you interviewed on?
Also, if the list is ranked like they said, would update/interest letters actually help?

Yes, my acceptance was emailed to me. My status page still says my application is under review. I interviewed on Dec. 20th.
I have no idea about update/interest letters. 🙁 sorry. Good luck, everyone.

Thanks. and to anyone who has sent a letter, who did you address it to? Director Welch, or just to whom it may concern?
Hey PhillyDoc, congrats to you, that's wonderful! Do you mind posting stats and if you're international or usa/state?
Where are you checking your status?

I addressed mine as: To the Admissions Committee,
Heading up for an interview soon and I wanted to spend an extra couple of days skiing. Does anybody have any suggestions? I was hoping to go somewhere that is close enough to Hanover that I won't have to change hotel.
other things:
- I am a terrible skier, so I don't need some super nice place.
- I will have a car with me.

When you say you applied late, what do you mean by that? When were you complete?
Congrats!!!👍
Hoosier I'm wondering the same thing... or do they put out post-interview admissions and rejections all at once?
I can answer the North Park questions... they are extremely over priced and are pretty crappy. If you will not have a car they are convenient in that you can walk to the medical school and the free (week day) bus lines, but honestly that is the only benefit to them.
You also, at least at a graduate student, get randomly assigned roommates for better or worse. The 4-person apartments consist of a relatively small kitchen with a bar style table. A "living room" (part of the same area as the kitchen) that is tiny and comes with a crappy coach and table, and then 4 small rooms and 2 bathrooms (that are strangely large). The rooms are furnished with single beds/dresser/desk.
I would strongly advise against living there, unless you really don't want to worry about transportation or buying furniture.
When I was there, I used to live in Vermont (Wilder) and commuted there daily. I knew a couple of other people that did this. The parking around the med school should be fine for since that is the College's commuter lot.
You can save a ton of money by living outside of Hanover.
For sure, Hanover is insanely expensive, I live in Leb and its dirt cheap in comparison.

Interview Invite today! Very surprised given my secondary was complete in August!
Congrats to both of you! I was also complete in August and am still hoping for an invite
Anyone have suggestions for places to stay while at the interview? Thx!
Six South Street hotel is a minute from the green (campus center). Get off the bus, head towards the intersection, make a left at the light, walk for a minute, make a left at the light and you're there. Alternatively, the Inn (which is on the first intersection) may be closed for renovations, but that's another option. You can't go wrong.
I would recommend student hosting if it's available.

Ditto. Lovely people, really.
Rent a car (which you will need to get around) and stay in Leb or White River Junction.
I'm not sure that there is an option that wouldn't cause you to arrive at some ungodly hour, unless you drive.
Drive up I-95 to I-91 and then get off at Exit 13 in Vermont. That's the only way I see this working out for you.
Just received a waitlist e-mail, interviewed back in October.
has anyone else heard anything recently, in terms of invites or waitlists?... the boards seem awful quiet!

i thought dartmouth didn't establish a wait list until march, after a number of ranked candidates had been rejected and accepted. this would be true according to the information they gave during my interview. anyone know how the waitlist works? I'm still waiting for a decision (interviewed in november), so not sure what to think regarding the turn around.
That's how I understood it from my interview session in december as well... but maybe they are starting early with applicants from october and gathering their final evaluations now?
oh wow... September and October interviewee's... I guess we are all in the same boat of feeling anxious and nervous! Has anyone contacted the office lately to get an update?
I'm a 9/14 interviewee. They said it would possibly take quite a while, so I've just been waiting.
to those still in it! Advertisement - Members don't see this ad
Hey mrmatt, according to last year's thread, it looks like interview invitations were extended until March 5th (at least, that's the last person to post about an II). So there's still plenty of time, if this year is anything similar.
Good luck!
