Thank you!! I received the e-mail less than 3 hours ago. If you're referring to the portal where we fill out the secondary, it hasn't changed since I submitted my secondary months ago. I'm not aware of any other portal!

Yeah that's the one I meant! Good to know I can stop checking it haha. Thanks!
 
rejected, secondary complete august-ish. no II.
somewhat surprised, my clinical experience is excessive.
always thought dartmouth favored the clinically rich applicants.
 
Still hoping for some love post-interview, way back in November :whistle:
 
still alive complete 9/3... no update and Canadian applicant. when does their interview season end??

So is it safe to assume at this point no news pre-II is good news?

i would not think this is safe to assume at all, it doesn't seem like they do "batch" rejections/acceptances, but they are going out individually "click by click" of the mouse.
 
Just got the pre-interview rejection. Complete in August and kept sneaking through all of the cuts. I sent an update last week, so either it really doesn't help or maybe it reminded them that they forgot to reject me earlier. Good luck to everyone still in the running.

For second look are people bringing parents or significant others?( or know if we can?) Contemplating as I want advice on schools I visit.

I'm sorry to hear that :( if you don't mind, what's the first letter of your last name? Wondering if they are going alphabetical by now or what...
 
Rejected this AM, complete early August. Was hoping for good news after making it for so long without the ax, but alas. Best of luck to all of you still waiting to hear!

Interviewed in early December - probably safe to assume I'm waitlisted (or rejected) at this point right?
 
Received a II last Thursday, complete mid September - there's still hope everybody!! Would somebody be kind enough to post the applied/interviewed/accepted stats from US news? I'm curious and I really don't want to pay $30 to renew my subscription.

Does any one know whether having a car is required for students at Geisel? Thanks!

Not "required". They have a pretty robust shuttle system that ferries med students from Hanover, to the the campus, and to the hospital. The area around Geisel looks like it's just all houses for college students.

If you plan to live far, you will likely need a car.

Not sure if its a requirement but there isn't much around DHMC itself. As BKNbkn said, you would rely on shuttles. Having lived there for 20+ yrs, I would recommend having a car.

They said it's an "unofficial requirement" interview day. You'll need one to get to preceptorships which start almost immediately.

Does that mean they'll be accepting applicants once a week?
 
Yes, from my understanding and that everyone will have an answer by those first two weeks of April
