Dartmouth College

Kindness of all staff members and interviewers.

Reviewing my application. Looking at reddit and common medical school interview questions.

The group activity included a lot of information to sift through in such a short time.

All the faculty and interviewers were great, positive, and welcoming. Great culture at this school. Left feeling like I would love to attend.

Mock interview, SDN, practice with friends, typing out answers to specific questions, review primary and secondary

Phenomenal program. I left the interview day not only more impressed, but it became my number one choice after interview day.

Nothing. The whole process was incredibly laid back, there was proper communication from the committee about interview day, and they responded to every email promptly and with tremendous amounts of information.

Not much. The cost of attendance is a bummer.

It was incredibly laid back, it was more of a conversation instead of an interview. Both interviews went over by 20+ minutes because we were having such fun in our conversations.

Research on reddit, SDN, school website. Reviewed their social media postings and MSAR page.

Hanover is a tiny town in the middle of nowhere

Had to take a 3-hour shuttle from the Boston airport to get there; terrible food options in the town; no diversity in terms of patient population, or Geisel faculty

I greatly value speaking with current medical students when I'm evaluating these schools as potential places I might attend, so I wish I would have known how few medical students I would end up getting to speak with.

We only had the opportunity to interact with two medical students the entire day (and it was a long day). We saw many other medical students, but they were very disinterested in speaking with us.

Nice facilities. Very nice admissions staff and faculty.

Practice interview with medical school student friends.

DO NOT wear heels to the hospital tour. pack them if you want to wear them during your interview and change right before. all the girls with heels had blisters.

My second interviewer (a professor) was the only person I met that day who was not extremely pleasant. He was kind of grumpy and made the interview a little unpleasant

Everyone is REALLY nice
