For the secondary part where it asks about listing premed reqs, for department do we list the category assigned on AMCAS or the category from my school? (eg biochem was BIOL for my school but was listed as CHEM on AMCAS)

I listed exactly what appeared on my college transcript, the official course title. My school did the same with biochemistry.

What are people writing about for prompt 2? With the other secondary prompts and my primary application, I don't feel like I have much to share?

Yeah I feel like its optional, but I wrote about a hobby I am passionate about and connected it to medicine.

 

[Jason1211]

How many words are you writing for prompt 2 and 3?

Hit around 300-350 words in each, but quality > quantity.

Does anyone know if you have to move for clinical rotations? I have school aged kids and need some stability. Trying to decide if I should apply here. Thanks.

I'm also confused by this because BIOL, CHEM, etc. are classes of courses, not departments I thought. Do I list the university department under which the course is administered (ex. department of chemistry, etc.)? And for college, should I put the university at which the course was taken or the specific college within my university (ex. college of natural sciences, etc.)? I can't find anything online lol

 

[RunnerDad]

i dont believe so

Years ago Dartmouth would partner with Brown (I think) to provide clinical training, when Dartmouth's own hospital did not provide enough different rotation opportunities for med students. But I believe in this era Dartmouth students can do all their rotations in and around Hanover.

I grew up as a Jehovah's Witness; do you guys think that is a good way to answer the "other" prompt?

Even amongst Christian circles, Jehovah's Witnesses are considered a cult, so be careful how you talk about it.

What about for the college? Do they mean like College of Natural Sciences or the name of the university/college you took the course at?

Are these open to everyone? Or just interview invitees?
