Anyone know if pre II letters of interest or updates are ok here? I really want a chance to visit here and have been complete for a while now. The crickets are starting to chirp louder...

Yes they are just email the email address that you already have in your inbox. It takes a couple days but they'll get back to you.

Any post-interview news lately?

 

[cupcakesandcadavers]

did anyone who wrote dartmouth an update letter pre-interview get positive news as a result? (or speculative? lol)

 

[milski]

II this morning, OOS, LizzyM 73, complete since late July.

 

[Wunderbar]

Hey all,

I've submitted my secondary application on 9/5/2014 and I still haven't received a "complete" e-mail. Is this something I should bother the admission's office with or just remain patient. Thanks for your help! Oh, I'm a Canadian citizen applying for MD/PhD if that changes anything.

I'm also a Canadian citizen and received my complete email the day after I submitted my secondary. Have you checked your status in the portal?

Any acceptances this week?

Congrats! What dates are they scheduling for?

I did this last year and got an interview invite about 2 weeks later. It's pretty tough to say whether or not it was a coincidence though but I don't see it hurting your chances here!

I did an Update a few weeks ago. There was a brief email stating it had been added to my file. I doubt it will have any effect on my being given an II though.

 

[MobiusEspresso]

Does anyone remember from the interview day if they said they'd continue to release acceptances through November? Or if it was just a small number in October, then more in January?

 

[breakintheroof]

Following an acceptance at another school, I have withdrawn my application. I had been complete in late July with no interview invite, and I sent in an update a couple of weeks ago. Best of luck to those in the running to spend four years in beautiful Hanover!

[chachi19]

Any recent II??

 

[MrLogan13]

Or admissions decisions?

 

[Toddissox]

I have just withdrawn my application since I haven't heard from them since early July, even after a few updates. Good luck to those who are still in the run!

 

[doctar]

Just had my interview today! Love it here. BUT I forgot to ask when we should be hearing back?

Congrats! Hope it went well. I'll be interviewing there next week- any tips? What's the interview stress level on a scale from 1-10? Thanks 🙂

Any particularly notable things you liked about the school?

 

[meowfish6868]

If I remember correctly, they said that a few people might hear back within a month or so, while the majority of acceptances will hear back in spring. This makes the chances for admissions roughly equal for fall and spring interviewees.

I had my interview today too! I wonder if we talked 🙂 I also really enjoyed it! FYI to others, it is SUPER low stress. I would relax, and bring a warm coat 🙂

As in, a coat that goes on top of your suit?

I don't have anything like that. 🙁 West coaster over here

Same problem here. Did you have to spend much time outside?

 

[Gladiator89]

How do you post an update? I can't seem to find it on the portal.

 

[atalantamedicus]

How do you post an update? I can't seem to find it on the portal.

I e-mailed admissions at Geisel.admissions @dartmouth.edu and attached my update letter. They confirmed receipt, so that's the way to go! Pretty sure there's not a way to do it thru the portal

 

[SomedaySoonMM]

No, there is not a ton of time outside, although the optional tour at the end might spend more time outside. I was just happy to have a warm coat during the visit in general. I'm a west coaster too, and it's quite a bit colder over there!

Interviewing here pretty soon, any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated!🙂

If you guys have specific questions regarding interview day, let me know and I'll try to answer them 🙂 I posted a while back on curriculum and schedules!

 

[Seashell6]

Accepted here today by email! I don't usually post on these threads (this is my first post 🙂 but wanted to give an update for anyone curious on the time frame for hearing back post interview. I interviewed on 10/16.

Hi, thanks for spending time to help people here. I wonder what is it like to have a class with an average age of 29 (or 27...I can't remember which one was it). I mean, does it make the atmosphere more mature? How do the 30+ students feel about it? I probably will be one of the oldest in any given school. I'd love to have people more around my age in the class.

Btw everyone, I was talking to the admission just the other day and they said that they were totally swamped so don't loose hope for II even if you were completed really early in the cycle. You can still be on the queue to be reviewed.

a class with an average age of 29 sounds amazing

Had a great interview experience yesterday! Everyone is genuinely nice and the students seem really happy there. Interviews are low stress

 

[Pedsmdplease]

And congrats to all with acceptances!

 

[giraffesuptop]

Anyone know when they stop interviewing?

[snarkie]

From what I can see from the tour schedules, last day of interviews is March 19th. Will address the age related question very soon 🙂

 

[Krispy Kreme]

Varies year to year but I would assume until late March and II's will probably continue until the end of february or even beginning of March.

Thanks! I am still waiting for you, Dartmouth! 😉
