still have not gotten a confirmation replying to the wait list, bad news?
still have not gotten a confirmation replying to the wait list, bad news?
like gorun said, it took me about a week to get the email. They may have just not got to everyone yet....I didn't get a response to my confirmation either...
I know there have been various people say they have/haven't sent LOIs in on this thread but I was wondering if a current student could comment on the LOI post-waitlist etiquette for Geisel? @physicsnerd42 , maybe?
Here are my thoughts:
1) They say in the waitlist follow up email that they would like to keep people on the waitlist who are strongly interested in Geisel, but in the Waitlist Letter it seems like they only want updates sent, not love letters. So, how does one show a strong interest in Geisel if we can't send a love letter? I've read on other threads that some schools will send you to the bottom of the waitlist if you send things they've told you that they don't want. What is the feeling at Geisel? Will the LOI help me or destroy me?
2) Does anyone know if Geisel is one of those schools where you're "supposed" to follow up with your interviewer to "show interest"? (I'm talking outside of thank you notes). For other schools I've heard people talk about "Letting their interviewer know about their interest" when they are waitlisted.
GAH. A year into this and I still don't know how it works.
Thanks in advance!
Sorry, I don't know too much about the wait list. The people in admissions are very nice and I would highly doubt that a LOI would hurt you. It also wouldn't surprise me if sending an LOI helped a little bit (if you mean it): they want people who want to be here and the wait list is unranked for the MD program (or has been in the past). Like I said, I don't have inside information about the wait list but if you really want to go to Dartmouth I don't see why you shouldn't send one. If you're really hesitant, you can also just call the admissions office to see if they're okay with these letters and ask anonymously.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.
You, me, and my family both. If this is going to happen the more time I have to plan a move completely across the country the better.The uncertainty is killing me....

Thanks!Just withdrew my acceptance. Best of luck to those waiting!
Seams like a greater number of withdraws this year, at least ones that have been posted to SDN, compared to previous years. Or is it just me doing a bit of wishful thinking?
I think I've seen more withdrawals than those intending to matriculate here than my other WL schools, as well as more than in previous years threads! Hope that bodes well for us WLers![]()
OMG i think you right. I am jumping for joy
I cannot wait....Keeping my fingers crossed...I know! Also, I feel like we've got quite the little quorum of Geisel Groupies on here! Hopefully we'll all find ourselves in Hanover in August! Fingers crossed for everyone!
Thought this might be appropriate for those of us on the waiting list (with a little editing)...

The sad truth is (I think) it makes it more expensive 🙁 less schollies for wait-listers, n' all .....Thought this might be appropriate for those of us on the waiting list (with a little editing)...

Good point. But does it truly not matter when you're accepted? (in terms of cost)Does Dartmouth even do scholarships? I thought it was all need-based

LOL.. same here?It's may 15th, where my acceptance at?!
The number of people that are probably on the waitlist scares me. No one's said theyve been rejected...
I was rejected! If it makes you feel any better haha...
