What impressed you positively?

Despite some people's concerns that the school is located in the middle of nowhere, Hanover is in a gorgeous area and the Dartmouth campus is beautiful. The students were so welcoming and friendly and truly seemed happy and confident.

What impressed you negatively?

It was snowing and cold (brr!).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The medical school is not next to the hospital (you have to drive or take a shuttle bus between the main Dartmouth campus and the medical center).

What are your general comments?

My interviewers were great and my interviews were both nicely flowing conversations. But the best part was definitely the students!
