How did you prepare for the interview?

AMCAS, DMS viewbook, DVD, sdn, ethics website

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of everyone we met throughout the day. By far the most warm and receptive interview I've attended. Also, the caliber of a DMS education; I think it's really underrated.

What impressed you negatively?

Hanover - the rural New England thing either works for you or it doesn't.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that DHMC is such an amazing, beautiful facility; also that it's 5 miles from campus, so you definitely need a car.

What are your general comments?

It was a well-structured day, with a lot of great information. One thing lacking was a serious discussion about the DMS cirriculum. It seems like they're kind of relying on Dartmouth's image to help sell the school, because although people in the field that I've talked to speak highly of a DMS education, the admissions officers weren't going over many specifics of their educational program. Also, the Brown-Dartmouth program sounds cool, too bad it's ending.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
