Hi, could anyone share the secondary prompts for this year? I heard that one of the questions changed from last cycle.

Please indicate your plans for 2026-2027. If in school, list the courses you will be taking. If working, tell us about your job. If your plans or courses change, subsequently, please inform the Admissions Office by email at [email protected]. For course changes, we only need to be notified about changes related to prerequisite courses. (250 words)

Please reflect on your primary application and share something not addressed in your experiences or personal statement that would be helpful to the Admissions Committee as we review your file. (300 words)

Are there specific aspects of the Geisel School of Medicine that draw you to apply? What are the characteristics and strengths you will bring to our program, and how will you contribute to our community? (300 words)

Dartmouth values a culture of inquiry and respect and encourages dialogues that harness diversity and openness of thought. Reflect on a situation where you felt different from those around you, or one where your perspective differed from others. (250 words)

You are the goat <3

Hey all. Current M4 here, popping over from the residency application to the med school side to see what's going on. I'm happy to answer any questions and will try to check back in with some regularity. (I'm ok for DMs too, but no promises on how quickly I respond--sorry!) I'm N=1, but I love it here. I think most people actually enjoy it up here, but I want to be careful not to speak for everyone.

Me: 34 years old, non-trad, white, first-gen from a small town in Ohio, low GPA, MCAT 509, little research, MS Pharm Chem from UF, Air Force vet, medical scribe for about 1 year.

It took 2 application cycles for me to get in anywhere, and I only applied to Geisel on round 2.

I have a wife and a 2-year-old, and the people here are super supportive. They helped facilitate local clerkships so I can be with my family despite the clerkship locations usually being determined by lottery.

The application process is miserable. I empathize with all of you as I am currently working through the residency application process (general surgery). Remember that there is a lot more to you than what paper can tell. These programs know that. Be proud of your accomplishments. Submitting an application to medical school is an accomplishment in itself!

Keep your heads up and stay strong. It is all worth it! :)

Cheers,

Drew

I just need to post this here for my future self: this is my dream school and despite everything standing against me I AM GETTING IN HERE

well considering other people are getting interview invites, it looks like we are cooked and our cycle is over ;(

Thanks for the inspiration 😭

just tryna be realistic, im in the same boat.. we are probably doomed for this cycle atp

I beg to differ

For those who got an interview, would you mind sharing if you received notice that you are under consideration? Also anyone IS get an interview? Sorry to be a menace, this my dream school so extra anxious.

I didn't get anything except for the secondary complete email! (OOS II)

Appreciate it! Using the max amount of copium atm and saying they just haven't viewed mine yet because I submitted after 7/4 lol

That’s prob true bc imagine how many apps they’re reviewing in a day like there’s no way they’ve even touched mine yet lol

RIP to me as a 7/4 submitter lol

we're not out til we're out

Go to their 25-26 cycle data on here. Sort interview date. Look at when submissions were made. You’ll see people with early july submission for like the whole time. Almost ZERO interview life has been “used up”. Your straight. Keep trucking.

Idk man, it seems like us early us who submitted early are cooked for this cycle

BEWARE OF RAGEBAIT ^^^

bc 3 ppl on admit have II to a top 40 school? Bro
