Congrats!! Do you mind me asking what time around you got the email? Also, did your app portal update with any new info?
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!
Same. Sent a letter of update, but don't know if that'll do anything.
rejected, secondary complete august-ish. no II.
somewhat surprised, my clinical experience is excessive.
always thought dartmouth favored the clinically rich applicants.

Waiting since late September 🙁
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.
anyone know if tomorrow is a big decision day for those that haven't heard back post-interview
somebody was accepted a week ago today based on this thread, so its hard to say, but I doubt it
+1, except Canadian and not in state
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...
Received an II today. Completed secondary 9/12.
Congratulations!! What're your stats? Still holding out hope to get an II here🙄
Interviewed in early December - probably safe to assume I'm waitlisted (or rejected) at this point right?
Nope
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.

759, 276, 92. 36% (interviewed, accepted, enrolled, acceptance rate after II Data)
Complete early August, LM 72
At this point I feel like it is not going in order of completion any more...

Complete Oct. LM ~70. Non-trad, wacky kind of applicant that I think Dartmouth often likes.
MCAT: 510 (84th percentile)
Cumulate GPA Overall: 3.77
Science GPA: 3.65
I feel like I have a unique personal statement and life story that they might have liked.
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.
Rejected today, complete in early September. Dodged a lot hackings but sadly this is the end of the line for me

Any idea when the next round of acceptances are going to take place?
I interviewed today and they mentioned that they will be reviewing applications every Thursday in March and the first week or two in April.

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
