<\/p>\nIntellectual curiosity. Integrity. Empathy. Compassion. Ability to overcome obstacles. Resilience. Distance traveled. Coachability. A commitment to lifelong learning. The goal of the Geisel School of Medicine's Admissions Committee is to enroll students who reflect all of those qualities and who will contribute to the uniquely close-knit and stimulating learning environment that defines Geisel. Dartmouth receives approximately 8,000 completed applications a year for 96 places in the entering class. Geisel's student body is national in scope and impact.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The admissions committee carefully reviews the entire application with attention to personal, academic, scientific, and community engagement considerations. We seek to select a group of students each year who are reflective of our nation and who will contribute positively to, and benefit from, our institutional mission. We employ a holistic review process that places value on applicants who possess a strong academic foundation, diversity in all forms, a broad range of life experiences, and traits known to promote success in the field of medicine.<\/p>\n
