Rejected today, was complete in late September. 32 3.6, OOS- it was a long shot so I'm flattered I was under consideration for a while. Good luck everyone!
Can any current students comment on the wait list movement from recent years? I tried to surmise from previous year threads, but its hard to establish any kind of context. Thanks in advance!
I have been having trouble accessing the site for Dartmouth in order to check my status. Is anyone else experiencing this difficulty??
I just want to check my status since I haven't heard anything since my interview in December. UGH![]()

There was a notice on the site last week about their admissions portal undergoing maintenance. And like the others have said, there are no changes to the status page after secondary and LORs.I have been having trouble accessing the site for Dartmouth in order to check my status.

Congrats! Most well-run interview day I've been to so far - they really know how to sell it!Interview invite today for March 11! OOS complete in July. YAY!
You look like a bird.II this morning too, complete in August! Can anyone comment if we will be interviewing for a spot in the class or the waitlist? Would love to interview if it's for a real spot, but I'd be coming from the Pacific Northwest so I don't want to waste a bunch of money if we really have no shot.
They hold to the "no news is good news" idea. You get immediate notified of acceptance if youre in the top scoring bracket, rejection if youre in the bottom scoring bracket, and no news if youre in the middle. At least thats how I understand it from what they explained at my interview day. I interviewed in mid-September with no news since then; I believe that indicates my overwhelmingly average post-interview score.Does Dartmouth send a post-interview decision immediately after it is made, whether it is acceptance, waitlist, or rejection? Or do they wait to notify applicants of waitlist and/or rejection decisions? i.e. is no news for an extended period of time necessarily bad news?

???♪ Mediocre and it feels so good ♪
On the same boat as you guys. Have been waiting for a decision since my interview in mid-December. I'm just confused because, since they have been waitlisting people (who I assume are also average), not hearing back could mean that we're either above that group and they don't know whether to accept or waitlist us, or that we are below that group and they don't know whether to waitlist or reject us. Lol as you may tell, I've given a lot of thought to this. Best of luck to all of you.
I think it may also depend when you come up in the committee discussions, which doesn't seem to be chronological based on interview. It's possible that they haven't discussed your application yet, in which case they don't have a score for you yet.On the same boat as you guys.

I agree. I've seen people before and after my Sept. interview that have gotten rejected, waitlisted, and accepted... I'm pretty sure I've been ranked, but I'm probably so close to the middle that it's just a waiting game to see if the acceptance cutoff reaches me before the rejection does.I saw that some other people also mentioned this randomization so I guess this is possible, but it was my understanding from what they said during interview day that they meet on a regular basis and rank applicants as they interview, so I'm confused.
sourdoughllama, I did see posts of other people who interviewed after I did and were waitlisted, so I don't think the silence is because they are still reviewing files of those who interviewed before December.

Got a large envelope from Geisel today, containing the Winter '14 edition of Dartmouth Medicine. Putting this out there so other accepted applicants don't get excited, thinking it's a money package or anything.
Wat dafuqNevermind. It was a mistake. I am not kidding.
Oh jeez, I'm sorry to hear that. What happened??Nevermind. It was a mistake on Dartmouth's part. Oh well...I guess I'm still waiting....

Dat swing in dopamine and cortisol levels away from homeostatis tho...
You've got some great other acceptances lol so don't feel bad ( 😍drooling over your Vandy acceptance)Rejected today pre-interview. I feel like a cheap date for being strung along like this for a half-year then getting dumped.
I've contacted 4 and they all haven't been able to. One mentioned they have exams during that time, so I'll probably end up in a hotel.was anyone able to get ahold of a student host, so far I've gotten no response? I just scheduled my interview for next week and I'd rather not pay for a hotel, the plane ticket was really expensive
