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
