- Accepted: 3/13/2012
Summary of Experience:
Dartmouth is a very aesthetically pleasing school, as is Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (it's hands-down the most attractive hospital I've ever seen). Unfortunately, it rained the entire day of my interview. People seemed very friendly at this school, and the Upper Valley was gorgeous. I wish I'd had more time to spend up there during my visit, as I would've loved to go for a hike in one of the nearby state parks.
I was quite sad to withdraw, but I don't think I could handle New England winters, and my gluten-free diet (I'm celiac) demands more food shopping/dining options than are available near Hanover. There isn't a Whole Foods in the entire state of NH!
