for those of you that have submitted + not gotten any IIs yet, does your status say "ready" or "under review"?

me too! didn't think to do this before but actually most of my schools say "ready" (even if they've already started giving out IIs) with only a few saying "under review." i wonder if that's just the norm?
 
How would you input courses/Premedical Requirements? For department do they mean course code department (like BIOL) with 1101 in course number field?

Having trouble with this as well. Also, does college mean the college at the University or just the university itself? It's a little confusing.

This is the way I did it and hopefully this is what they wanted lol:

For College I put: My University and the College the department is in (I took graduate level courses in undergrad so these sometimes differed).

For Department I put: Department of Chemistry or whatever it’s in!

I paid application fee and the application portal says that I still have not paid. I received an email from them saying that they received the money but I'm not sure why the portal is updating yet.

Is this a glitch on their end, or do I have to wait for the fee to be processed?

Has anyone had this resolved? I just encountered this issue today, and wonder if you just have to wait a bit for the fee to process? Or did you have to email admissions ..

Just wondering, does Dartmouth have a dual MD/MBA track that students can take?

Do schools actually change your status to "under review" when they're reviewing your app. I thought some schools say "ready" and some schools say "under review," regardless if they've started reviewing your app or not.

they do but you don't apply until your second year and its super selective

Are they pretty strict about reapplicants to Tuck School of Business/why it's not advised to apply until the second year of med school? And is this business school open to applicants that are from non-business backgrounds/have non-business experience like people from the healthcare/biomedical research field?

this might not be helpful at all, but if you weren't applying for medical school and were just applying to MBA programs independently, do you think you would be a competitive applicant for top-tier MBA programs? If you don't think you would get into the MBA program by itself right now, I don't think the MD/MBA pathway necessarily improves your chances. When you say reapplicant, do you mean you've applied to Tuck previously?

I can't speak to having applied before but I know that's how their MD/MBA operates

They don't appear to be closed to anyone without a business background but I know you have to express a legitimate interest in business administration considering how few students they take which is understandable

I've looked into the MD/MBA program extensively so I know a bit about it and the process. It's not that it's not advised to apply until the second year of med school, it's mandatory per their MD/MBA website (Admissions – The MD-MBA Program at Dartmouth). This is because the applicant has to be in good academic standing through their M1.

Tuck of course is selective, it's a top 10 MBA program in the country, but I can't speak for reapplicants. Yes, the school is very open to people with non-business backgrounds- have a look at the Tuck MBA class profile (Class Profile), 45% of the class has arts/humanities undergraduate degrees, 28% have engineering/science/math, and 27% have business. As with any MBA application, you have to demonstrate qualities and abilities that you've gained in your previous experience, and how obtaining an MBA would enhance them. Moreover, you need to have a clear plan and explanation as to how this degree would benefit your career aspirations.

II today around 30 mins ago, complete 07/16. Portal was not updated though, and I cannot seem to proceed with scheduling an interview even though their email tells me to go through the portal to do so. Should I email them or just wait it out for a couple hours and see first?

NVM i’m dumb, the portal will say nothing but under the application section there’s a media consent form if you got an II. Complete that and the interview scheduler pops up haha
 
Anyone else get an email from admissions regarding an upcoming lecture? Nearly had a heart attack

Entire admissions faculty is extremely kind and welcoming. Can't disclose anything specific about the group interview portion but it's not intended to be exorbitantly challenging; more so an opportunity for the committee to see how you interact in a group (whether or not that is an optimal method is a debate for another day). Two individual interviews - Geisel admissions will send you the names of your interviewers prior to your interview day (it's very well structured). To my understanding, the interviewers have the choice of closed-file or open-file. Both of my interviewers were very well read on my application; all in all, pretty conversational - did not feel like I was being interrogated for the most part. Left with an extremely positive impression of Geisel and praying I get the acceptance in October. Good luck and feel free to ask further questions within reason.

Thank you! And good luck to you! Hope you get the acceptance!
 
Just wanted to dump my post interview feels! I really liked the school and it has definitely one of my top choices they do a really good job of selling the school 🙂 one of my interviews was a little bit interrogation but also conversational and one of my interview was VERY conversational very friendly interviewer. Ultimately, I don't know how my admissions result it will turn out but it was just a great honor to be there and talk to such cool people! There are a few tough questions but nothing totally out of left field. Best advice is just relax and truly be yourself the faculty and students want you there!
