What impressed you positively?

"Everyone was EXTREMELY nice and everyone seemed really happy to be at Dartmouth. Curriculum seeks to overcome the isolated environment by allowing clerkships to be taken in a large number of other locations. Huge ratio of faculty to students. Administration very interested in improving curriculum every year. 4 students per cadaver in anatomy; students do all the dissecting. Huge number of int'l opportunities. Hospital is beautiful and relaxing. Town is very bicycle-friendly and picturesque. Large number of non-traditional students. Students are very collegiate and collaborative with each other; very tight-knit class. Faculty I interviewed with were friendly and kind." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Hospital has fewer patients than urban ones. Administration asks you to bring a car with you when you matriculate. Travel to other less remote locations is logistically difficult. I imagine there would be a limit to the number of new people one could meet in such an isolated location." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Nothing; I had a really lovely day and am very glad I went." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Most interviews at Dartmouth seem to be open-file, but there are some who prefer closed-file, and by the luck of the draw both of mine were closed-file. However they were both very easy-going and friendly interviews; one of them in particular flowed very easily and left me with a very positive feeling. There are two tours; one of the medical center and one of the school. Unless you happen to get a student interviewer (seems to be a small percentage of the interviewers), the tour guides will be the only students you meet unless you go out of your way to find others to talk with, or you stay with a student (which I'm really glad I did). One of my tour guides was neutral, the other was really enthusiastic and happy." Report Response
