What impressed you positively?

Hanover is beautiful, and the Hitchcock hospital is fantastic.

What impressed you negatively?

My first interview consisted of me reciting my AMCAS activities while my "interviewer" wrote them down. He asked me to tell him everything I'd done starting with freshmen year of college. Everytime I tried to elaborate on anything he cut me off and asked, "what did you do after that." It was ridiculuous. My lips did not utter a single subjective phrase for the entire 30 minutes.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I could have dropped off a copy of my AMCAS to my first interviewer and spared us both the waste of time.

What are your general comments?

My first interviewer had about as much personality as prokaryotes that he did research on. It was a total waste of my time. My second interview was great. It was laid back and conversational, and my interviewer seemed genuinely interested in me and my goals. Overall, Dartmouth is a great place. I think it comes down to whether or not you want to go to med school in the middle of nowhere, which may be appealing to some, including myself, for several reasons.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
