2024-2025 Dartmouth (Geisel)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

For what it's worth I did a rough comparison of SDN, admit.org, and cycletrack, for this and a few other schools. Cycletrack has far more people responding, with almost as many secondaries submitted on July 1st (356) as admit.org has all together. Cycletrack has 3x as many A's tracked. SDN correlates pretty well with cycletracks dates, but again even SDN is is sampling a very small number of applicants. If Geisel get's about 8k applicants per year we're only seeing data of maybe ~19% of people given they list an n = 1436 which includes data from the past 3 cycles so it's likely lower than that for any individual year.

The irony of cross checking all the stats on these websites to make a case against using them for predictions is not lost on me lmao. I for sure get a little hope from stat farming but the truth is it's just bad data at this point in time. Until the AAMC releases real live data I think we'll all be stuck with guesswork.

If I was a med school and saw this post, I would find out who you are and send you an A immediately. Dedication!
 
Am I cooked if neither “why medicine” nor any of my clinical or volunteering experiences came up during my interviews? Instead I got more general questions and didn’t really get to steer my responses in those directions. I thought that both my interviews went well but now stressing looking back thinking I blew my shot [emoji24]

If the conversation went normally then you're fine. If they wanted to know specific details, they would have asked

You are so fine! If anything, that might just mean you answered those questions well in writing already, and they’re just wanting to know you more a bit as a person, beyond your medical journey 🙂

Tysm for the kind words, this is really reassuring! My faculty interviewer did prompt me with wanting to learn more about things not included on my application, so I really hope you’re right. I just got hit with a post II R (that I definitely feel went worse in terms of questions/interviewer vibe), so I guess I’m finding it easy to overthink things on this one [emoji43]‍[emoji94]
 
so if we have heard nothing yet, what does that mean? I was complete in December lol

Interviewed 1/9 but didn't hear anything today like the rest of my cohort... not sure what that means
 
does this mean they might finally start sending II to late August submitters?
 
Withdrawing my A from here. So bittersweet because this was my absolute favorite (and first!) interview, as well as my first acceptance back in October. Never thought I’d have a shot at a school like this when I quit a career and decided I wanted to go to med school, so I hope that another non-trad gets to take my place in the class!! Best of luck to all of you future doctors (and enjoy Hanover)🫶🏼
 
If we interviewed 1/9 and haven't heard anything, does that mean a waitlist or rejection?

My guess is that tomorrow is our last chance for an A and then after yeah W or R... correct me if I'm wrong though. I also interviewed 1/9 and haven't heard anything.

Gotcha. What makes you think tomorrow? Have they been traditionally splitting interview days into two rounds of As?

This non trad (whew I was a 30yr old freshman!) is really proud of you for taking a shot at a second career in medicine 💕and also this post is so nice. Best of luck wherever your journey brings you!
 
pre II R OOS just now, complete 8/20. I want to email them about how unprofessional it was to not review these apps until last minute lol
