What impressed you positively?

Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center is extremely nice! The admissions people are really friendly and informative.

What impressed you negatively?

We met only two students the entire day, one of whom seemed very bothered that he had to give us a tour. Both my interviewers and the admissions director talked at length about how great DMS students are, and I was disappointed that I didn't get to meet many of them and find out whether I'd fit in here. Also, the medical school itself is a dump. Old facilities, feels like you're in a basement.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How extremely isolated and rural the town is. Beautiful place, but I didn't realize the town was that tiny! Boston is 2.5 hours away, though.

What are your general comments?

I expected to really like this school, and I was extremely disappointed.
