DMS is a great school in a wonderful, quiet location. Their students are very friendly and match to top programs in their field. If you enjoy the backwoods location, outdoor/winter activities and the small cohort, it will be a wonderful place to study medicine.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Generally just a conversation about my experiences and interest in the school
What was the most interesting question?
Given your interest in working with a diverse population, would Dartmouth's relatively homogenous patient population factor into your final decision of which school to attend?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read over application materials, researched the school through its website, talked to student host
What impressed you positively?
Personalized attention due to small class size, lots of research/elective/dual degree options, lots of use of technology in classes (every student gets an iPad), so many positives to this school
What impressed you negatively?
Lots of lecture/class time - 7 hrs per day in first year is not unusual - and tests every 2 weeks. DHMC is beautiful, but sometimes seems more like a shopping mall than a hospital
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
They are currently going through a major curriculum change which will be implemented for the 2015 entering class
