No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

read SDN interview feedback, school website, watched the DVD, reviewed my application

What impressed you positively?

the hospital is amazing. Based on a mall design with plenty of spaces to interact and converse. People (both patients and staff) seemed happier to be there than any other hospital I've seen.

What impressed you negatively?

with the relative isolation of the school, jobs for non-medical significant others are pretty limited

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Interviews weren't as stressful as I was expecting them to be. (These were my first ones)

What are your general comments?

We met at 9 in the morning at the admissions office for a (long) talk about the Dartmouth program, the Dartmouth-Brown program, and financial aid stuff. Then it was off to the hospital via shuttle to get our tour by a fourth-year student who snagged a couple classmates to join us for lunch. They were very helpful in telling both the positives and drawbacks of the school (location and isolation) as well as giving a bit of insight into our interviewers. Then it was wander around a bit before the interviews with a free half hour between. Afterwards a bunch of us caught the shuttle back to the admissions office and got a tour by a first or second year. Finished up around 4:30.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
