Hah best thing to do is just chill. I'm pretty sure on interview day they said that we shouldn't expect to hear back until January-ish...
II! 30 SECONDS AGO!
Complete 7/23! Re-applicant. Info in my MDApps

I had given up hope already. I had neurotically given up on receiving anymore interview invites this season (which is stupid because it still is early for many places). I hope you get one too!
Congrats Kitty, Tell them to be nice to Bear and offer him an interview too
+1 for Cyril
Me too!! Reapps unite!!
would you mind sharing when you interviewed?
anyone currently at Geisel know if updates carry any real weight? I just had a paper accepted for publication.
I had a great time at their interview, but can see how it's not a destination for everyone. Do updates every 4-6 weeks help one's cause by showing sincere interest in matriculating

not a destination for everyone simply because of the location or what?
Sounds very much like overkill.
I agree. I'm glad I attended the interview but I have a lot of digesting to do because the medical education experience seems so different from everywhere else I've visited. Also a head's up to those who don't know a ton about the program: apparently it's pretty common to move to a new city for each clerkship during year 3; I knew that there were opportunities to do away rotations at California Pacific in California and a few Indian Health Service locations but didn't realize 1) how many/how geographically scattered there were or 2) the apparent majority of MS3s don't spend much time in New Hampshire. Seems like a really cool way to gain multiple perspectives on health care delivery.
that's good because everyone seems to be worried about the lack of diversity in the Hanover area.
II! Completed 9/10. The dates available were next week or early December.
well s**t... looks like I'm getting the axe in the next round if they're already interviewing Sept candidates.
This process make no sense! I was complete in Late July
I was complete mid July and I just got an II today. Dont freak out!
This all feels like the Hunger Games. It's impressive I survived the first night (aka the last round of rejections), but I never truly expected to win. Not to mention they killed Cinna and I have no sponsors.
I have faith/hope/a floating canister of burn salve that good news is coming! Hang in there.
LizzyM 73
Good, cuz I've been burned wayy too many times already this cycle.
II today, complete 7/29. Quite surprised, I'd figured this one for a silent reject!

Do you mind sharing stats? Congrats after such a long wait!
Congrats!
Also, I'm pretty sure Dartmouth doesn't silently reject - there have been plenty of outright rejections already. 😛
My stats are kind of misleading as I'm a non-trad with a long (early on not so great, years later solid) academic path. LizzyM 63 over everything, 69 only counting my second round through UG. Extensive work and community service history.
Anyone know if there is a Facebook group for students?
Yep, I remember that a lot of the interviewees just left their luggage in the main waiting area and it was fine
Yea a lot of people brought their luggage with them and stored it in the main office when they arrived when I was there.
Whatever Dartmouth you aren't THAT cool. The least you can do is give a girl an II after months of silence....
No Lanny!
Haha I expected my rejection to be part of another wave of rejections, did get a special rejection just for me?
Well I haven't gotten mine yet. So we will see.
I plan on joining you today. I'll let you know.
If it's any consolation, there are like 6 other schools also sending out rejections today. Or as I like to call it, axe day.
Hmm haven't gotten any other rejections so far, what schools are sending out rejections?

I'm curious as well, which schools? It always feels good to survive a wave of rejections haha
Rosalind Franklin, Cooper, Maryland (post-ii), Drexel (post-ii). So maybe just 4, for now...........
II!!!! Holy crapolli!!!!!!!!!!! So excited!!!!!!!!!!!! Dream school hell yes
Complete 7/14
