Interview invite less than a week ago, keep the faith!
lol what? I got an interview from here today. On March 1st!
Same here! Super pumped to be interviewing at my hometown school!
Rejected pre-II just now
Accepted yesterday as well! Interviewed around same time as @eddies
.
I was shocked to see my invite. Don't lose hope! You got this!
Just got an interview invite as well today, so they're still going out! Will be withdrawing so hopefully it goes to someone else who is waiting instead 🙂
Edit: dates go until end of march for those still waiting

Stop interviewing people and start accepting people!

Withdrew from Geisel post-interview. Sincerely appreciate an opportunity to visit Hanover but ultimately end up choosing another school.
Does anyone remember from interview day what year electives can be scheduled? Or any current students? Is it 3rd or 4th?
Spoke too soon. Also got II yesterday, but will probably not attend. Hope it goes to someone who's still waiting to hear back!
This may be a super dumb question but we can fill out CSS and school specific financial aid applications before being accepted, right? Because the deadline to file for Dartmouth is April 15th, and are we supposed to hear back about any decision by then? What about if you end up on waitlist?
Many thanks
Many thanks
To my fellow neurotics, the information below will not interest you because you probably already did this for yourself, but I have assembled a list of acceptances/rejections I found for this time frame in last year's thread so we can continue to let this wait slowly destroy our lives by the second.
1 Rejection on Monday, March 7th 2016
1 Acceptance on Tuesday, March 8th 2016 (They interviewed Late-January)
1 Acceptance on Monday, March 14th 2016 at 9 am via email (They interviewed Mid-Jan)
1 Acceptance on Saturday, March 19th 2016 at 5 pm via email (They interviewed Mid-Feb)
1 Acceptance on Saturday, March 19th 2016 at around 5 pm via email (They interviewed Early-Feb)
A couple other miscellaneous things I found in case you yourself have not combed through the past year's thread yet:
1) Second Look Day last year was 22/23 APR.
2) Apparently, they meet every Thursday in March and like the first 2 Thursdays of April to make admissions decisions (review around 60 candidates per session).

Hope this helps some of you!

Unfortunate for those who were rejected today, but I for one am glad to finally see activity for Fall interviews (waiting since September)
Did they say anything about more acceptances/rejections?
I didn't ask. I feel like if it's been 2+ months since you've interviewed it's safe to assume you won't be accepted outright. Best you can hope for is to make the waitlist and dodge the rejections.
So there are still people interviewing (like myself, next week). Are we just interviewing for spots on the waitlist?
At my interview they said they hold onto people toeing the line of the waitlist/acceptance until the end of interviews. So you could be accepted near April and avoid the waitlist. Holding out hope....

Hi all,
I was wondering if any internationals had been accepted yet?

Have you looked at the dartmouth coach that goes from boston to dartmouth? There are several buses everyday so you could finagle them into your schedule.
awesome! Thank you so much.

I interviewed November and haven't heard anything yet..... just patiently waiting for my turn to get rejected lmao
+1, it's probably a rejection. Gosh darn Dartmouth, I really liked you.
+1. Oh well, at least I got a crazy travel story out of it.
Hanover, Massachusetts haha.
You guys are depressing me btw it's not probably a rejection until it is. Dina from admissions said they don't hold back on notifying rejections. If it was a rejection you'd know by now there's probably no decision made. Waitlist goes out in batches though.
