Have they sent out II to anyone complete in Sept or later?

I was complete mid-September, interviewed in November and was accepted this month. most likely matriculating.

edit: last month...

Also still waiting.... completed in October. The anticipation is excruciating.

 

[TriageNinja154]

II yesterday! Better late than never, can't wait!

 

[SpartacusSmartacus]

II yesterday! Better late than never, can't wait!

May I ask when you completed?

 

[CyrilFiggis]

May I ask when you completed?

Complete dates are pretty much irrelevant at this point. They've been sending out II's the past week for people complete in July, September, and October. They've also been rejecting folks complete around the same time.

 

[NotaCop]

Rejected pre-II just now, complete in mid September. Not really bummed as this was a big reach anyways. Good luck to those still holding out for good news!

 

[TriageNinja154]

May I ask when you completed?

I believe I was complete sometime in early or mid-August. It doesn't seem like completion date is all that predictive of when you hear back.

Edit: Just found my complete email, it was actually late July

Thanks 🙂 You're probably right the date doesn't matter but makes me feel better lol.

Rejected pre-II this morning :-/

Complete 10/13.

Still waiting, complete in early September... can't believe I haven't been rejected yet, but I guess that's a good thing??

I'm the same boat friend. No news is good news!

 

[porridge101]

Should thank you cards be addressed to the admissions office?

i typically address them to the interviewers

 

[prettypinkbookworm]

Withdrew my application yesterday post-II, hopefully if there are any of you still hoping for an interview it goes to you all! Good luck!

 

[Okazaki Frag Grenade]

It's been pretty quiet on the acceptance front in here ...

 

[porridge101]

Sorry, I meant to ask, what address do we send them to?

 

[PhDandConfused]

Any idea if there have been a lot of pre-II rejections? Or do they hold off and do most rejections later?

The admissions director, Aileen (who is a very nice lady btw), said at my interview that they are still reviewing apps. Currently, adcom meets every two weeks but in March they will meet every week, so things will pick up soon.

Does anyone know what it means if we havnt been rejected yet? Have we been reviewed preliminarily and set aside for later review, or has our file still not been opened?

They re-review throughout the cycle (I believe there's 4 screeners). If you haven't been rejected that's a good thing. Just need to sit back and see what happens at this point my friend.

So with you on this.

 

[jordan222]

So with you on this.

In the same boat here too.

 

[emma2015]

For those who have interviewed, what time are you done with the day? Is the tour of the medical site at 3:30 optional? I'm trying to plan my Coach ticket departure times.

My tour was of the actual academic facilities/classrooms (the hospital tour is halfway through interview day though). It is optional but I'd recommend it

I see - I definitely want to be on all available tours, but I also want to catch the Coach at 5pm and not have to spend an extra expensive night! Thanks for the info.

 

[Cerebral_Policy]

Received an II here last night! Wow, that took forever lol. Will most likely be withdrawing though. Good luck to you guys still in the running.

Complete late August.

The tour will take less than half an hour. You would definitely be able to catch the 5pm Coach. Hanover Inn is a short 10-minute walk from the Admissions Office.

 

[Dr.TonySoprano]

is anyone here matriculating for sure at dartmouth?

I am. small problem tho: haven't been accepted yet.

 

[HybridEarth]

Highly likely to be matriculating. Don't know how I could say no lol

 

[Cerebral_Policy]

Is this place as isolated as I've heard? It's the main reason I've lost interest :/.

Cool hybrid. I might too. Depends on next month's decisions

 

[brobro2]

depends. i like the outdoors and solitude, so this is an ideal place for me.

 

[PhysioMD]

Anyone know if they will still be sending out invites?

 

[Cerebral_Policy]

I just got one last night so I guess it's still happening.

 

[PhysioMD]

Also do we just send update letters to the admission board? I don't see a way to upload online
