How did you prepare for the interview?

I watched their DVD and read through the other materials Dartmouth mailed me. I re-read my application.

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed like they all really liked each other.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't like either of my interviewers. The first seemed really distracted and literally stared at me for a full two minutes before I started asking questions and trying to have an interview. She was definitely a little batty. The other said out right that the time I had taken off after graduating from college seemed like wasted time. Also while waiting for an interview, a student pulled me aside and said that I should not go to Dartmouth. This was the only school where a student warned me not to go there. And, my student host wouldn't meet me until 11:00 at night even though I arrived during the afternoon because she had to study. That seemed a little weird to me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Dartmouth is extremely isolated. As soon as I saw it, I knew it wouldn't work out.

What are your general comments?

I knew Dartmouth wouldn't work out from the moment I arrived. It was just a wrong fit and two weird interviews confirmed it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
