Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Surprisingly rural, downtown Hanover is basically nonexistent...it seems like surviving without a car would be tough.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Getting to town is a little tough, but I would say fly into Boston, take the shuttle, and stay with students that live near campus or who can get you to your interview. Or consider renting a car...

What are your general comments?

I enjoyed my interview day. It began as usual - with a group of about 12 students assembled in the admissions office. I was impressed by the friendliness of the staff. There's a group session on admissions and financial aid - sort of Dartmouth's chance to sell themselves to you. Watch your coffee intake before, it's a couple hours without a break. After that, the students take the bus over to the medical complex. It's surprisingly large for basically being in the woods, and beautifully designed. There was a short tour by a medical student, although it amounted to standing outside of several elevators. Lunch follows, and then interviews at either the medical campus or back at the medical school. I spent a lot of time walking around the medical complex before my interviews, and I'm glad I did. There's a great medical library, and just exploring the outpatient departments was a lot of fun. Everyone I stopped to talk to seemed sincerely happy. As far as interviews go, they were pretty informal, basically just coversations. The whole day is nothing to worry about - use it as a chance to figure out if Dartmouth would work for you. Also, I enjoyed hearing my interviewers reasons for ending up there themselves.
