Great! Was it email or portal? Mind sharing stats and complete date?

I have been hearing that the taking of a gap year is becoming traditional.

Diversity of age is a thing, but I think what is accomplished during time off is more important (quality > quantity)
Not sure who that was directed toward, but no. An otherwise traditional, 22 year old college grad who takes one (or even two) years away from school for the express purpose of applying to med school is absolutely not a non-trad applicant. I know I've seen the numbers before, I can't remember offhand, but I believe something around 30-40% of applicants take a gap year now.
It's not really "time off" is it? If you're not in school as an adult, it's because you're out in the real world, probably working. I expect most people are just trying to pay bills and such, even if that's not high quality in terms of med school applications.
I simply meant to say "time since undergrad"... as is asked in the first question of D's secondary
Stats? Congrats!
For the photo: my attire screams "professional", while my smile gently asks, "Am I wearing any pants?". Hopefully I will be able to answer the question during an interview.
You know what? After browsing through this thread, I love everyone's sense of humor and "fire". Maybe we should all get together and form our own medical school class (that is, if Dartmouth doesn't recognize our awesomeness).
On a side note. I was driving through NH one day and decided to swing by Dartmouth (as a poor, state-educated boy...I grew up to look at Dartmouth as some magical place...like Hogwarts. So I wanted to see what it was like). Anyways, my dog took a dump on the main lawn within 5 minutes of being there...and he only dumps when he is comfortable. So he is either going to be super excited, or extremely upset when the decision arrives.

Or he got into some Chipotle.
This, right here, is what student doctor network is about. I hope you get into Dartmouth so so badly.
Thanks brother! Right back at you. I wish you nothing but the best! We all got this.
Thank you! My stats are not straightforward, so I thought a range would cover it more inclusively.

Congrats on the II?
Is there a reason provide a range of LizzyM? Or is that just the cGPA and sGPA?
Ahh okay, makes sense! Also, it was a type-o with my "? "earlier saying congrats. Haha
This is a dream come true! I just received an email stating that I received a $10 coupon at LL Bean (expiring 9/1/2016). 😎
Lol, you are funny!
The question is: do you go all in and buy some nice duck boots for that first winter at dartmouth med?
I like you! But absolutely. I would need the added traction and protection from the elements to evade the police, as I would be attending classes illegally.

The good news is, they have a "no questions asked ever" return policy, so you could literally buy these boots and return them 2 years later after using them for during those years and continually get new ones for the rest of your days so there is potential for great ROI.
LL Bean is awesome. My winter coat got a tear in it and they just straight up handed me a brand new one.
Exactly! You can't beat their policy! That's why I always recommend their CC (you get $10 coupons every month just for having it...you don't even have to use it).
Hey...maybe we could fund our educations by becoming spokespersons or campus brand-reps. We should send them our pantless Dartmouth App photos to see if they are interested.
As a west coaster, LL Bean sounds like a dream.

This is by far my favorite thread to check out of all the schools I've applied to. If this is any indication to what kinda people apply to Dartmouth then I really hope we all get in!
I don't know where everyone in this thread is from, but this is pretty much what it's like in New Hampshire. I'm SO happy I moved here; I realllyyyyy hope I get to stay for med school!
Neurotic, hopelessly optimistic, and a tad bit annoying? Perfect.
Well, this wouldn't be SDN without the neurosis. But the optimism and congeniality, yes.
Congratulations! When did you submit?
