Damn that’s a quick turn around. Good for you!

Thanks so much - really hoping this isn't a Mayo-type deal where I end up eating these words lol

Thank you! Complete 07/17

 

[blinkblink2]

Any complete mid-September or later with IIs? Thanks

 

[ImmunoFanatic]

Also got an MD/PhD II on Friday. Complete 8/26. Super short notice with a 2 day interview next week, but still grateful! On that note, anybody have advice or suggestions for the "group interview" portion? None of my other program invites have anything like this so I'm not really sure what to expect.

Same! Not sure what to expect

Is the interview one with faculty and one with student?

 

[boopboopbeepboop]

Is the interview one with faculty and one with student?

I had two faculty.

 

[biff_webster16]

Is the interview one with faculty and one with student?

They email you the interviewers a couple of days before. Their interviewers are faculty (both PhDs and MDs) and med students - FWIW I had 2 faculty

 

[MollyWeasley]

Is the interview one with faculty and one with student?

i had 1 faculty and 1 student, student was more conversational but both very chill. Good luck! 🙂

 

[Zeno911]

Is the interview one with faculty and one with student?

I had one student and one faculty. Student interview was great. Faculty interview was...not as chill.

 

[tortellini]

I had two faculty.

Also had 2 faculty. 1 was very friendly and felt like a pretty standard interview. The other was, as Zeno911 put it, not as chill... 🙂 🙁 I guess it's the luck of the draw.

I think dartmouth does good cop/bad cop. I had one interview that was fairly hostile and then one where the interviewer was extremely sweet and didn't actually ask any questions.

Both of mine were really sweet and easy compared to other schools. Probably just depends on who you get

+1 student was probably my best interview so far while faculty member was tough.

 

[lacrossegirl420]

are they still sending II's here? mid-sept complete

 

[deleted973222]

are they still sending II's here? mid-sept complete

Wondering the same! Complete 7/19 and haven’t heard anything back

 

[deleted1075526]

are they still sending II's here? mid-sept complete

Same! Complete 07/31 and haven't heard back.

 

[MediocreClimber]

They have a very small class, you folks think they're filled by now? 🙁

It’s November 2nd. Definitely not

 

[jb2000]

I'm also going to assume they have massive waitlist movement and low yield. so they're probs going to issue way more As than their actual class size.

 

[KatsuCurry]

II just now!!

Complete 7/29. Dates available 12/3 and 12/10.

 

[SiberianIris]

II this morning as well! Complete late July, OOS, LM 80. Dates were mid December for me!

 

[calcgirl98]

anyone else who was complete early sept (I was 9/6) hear anything back whether it was an R or II?

 

[Zulka]

anyone else who was complete early sept (I was 9/6) hear anything back whether it was an R or II?

Complete late August and nada.

 

[PerfectMD]

Complete late August and nada.

For now, we dodge the previous murderous rampage of rejections.

 

[stickyokra]

So grateful to have received an II on Wednesday!! Complete Early-Mid August. LizzyM 67. GPA below the 25th percentile. Don’t give up hope 🙂

 

[borrawin95]

+1 student was probably my best interview so far while faculty member was tough.

I had the opposite experience! The student interviewer seemed very dry and uninterested in engaging in conversation with me.

Complete mid August and silence

 

[FluffyCat1212]

Complete mid August and silence

Right there with ya.

Can anyone who has interviewed here give some insight as to how the "group activity" went for them? It's my first time doing this sort of thing for an interview, and I'm a little unsure of what to expect. Thanks!

It was low stress and kinda fun. I would not worry too much, you need no previous knowledge or anything. Relax and good luck!

[JadedJiroveci]

To confirm, we can send thank you emails directly to interviewers right?

Make sure you talk but don't be aggressive about it. Don't be condescending to other interviewees. I thought I did okay in mine, ended up with an A fwiw.

 

[back2skewl]

Does anyone know how Dartmouth views update letters post-interview?

 

[doingmybest10]

Any recent As from late Oct interviews?

 

[thunderstorm1824]

Pre-II R, complete 7/22. Good luck to everyone who’s still in the running!!

 

[flutacious]

Pre-II R, complete 7/22. Good luck to everyone who’s still in the running!!

+1, complete 8/3

 

[MDToBe1!]

Pre-II R here too, complete 10/28 🙁 Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back!

 

[DrRen]

+1, complete 8/3

+1, i feel like they didn’t even look at it their class probably full already! Gd luck ya’ll!

 

[MDToBe1!]

Yeah, most likely. Their class is only about 90 students, so it gets full pretty quickly.

As someone who’s interviewing tomorrow, I sure hope not!!

 

[Canweskipthispart?]

haven't heard anything yet, Complete 7/14

 

[Suzukaze]

Complete 8/8 and no R so far.

 

[musicmed26]

Another pre-ii R, LM 73.9 OOS complete late July. A little disappointing but I'll survive 🙂 Good luck to everyone still in the running!

 

[Quarantini]

As someone who’s interviewing tomorrow, I sure hope not!!

I would bet someone a really nice home-made baked good (post-COVID haha) that the class isn't full yet. As someone who applied and got pre-ii rejected two cycles ago (nothing from here yet this cycle), Dartmouth is a school that does rolling rejections early-ish on. Anecdotally, several other schools go in more well-defined batches starting in say December in a typical year, I think.
