How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the brochure and watched the DVD that the school sent

What impressed you positively?

everybody was very friendly, hospital was new and very bright

What impressed you negatively?

Hanover, while a very pleasant town, is kind of in the middle of nowhere

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Dartmouth admissions is rolling and acceptances are offered as early as October 16, contrary to what is on the MSAR (November) and their brochure (January)

What are your general comments?

Both faculty interviewers have access to all application materials, but one of my interviewers chose not to read anything beforehand while another seemed very familiar with my file. As a result, the first interviewer asked general questions and offered little feedback. My second interview was fantastic. I don't know if the school specifically picked my interviewer, but the doctor and I had lots of interests in common so we had a great conversation. I wish we could have chatted for more than 30 minutes.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
