Interviews

Selected applicants will be invited to interview virtually on our own Gathertown virtual Dartmouth Campus on January 9 and 10, 2025. After interviews, we will invite accepted applicants to campus on March 6 and 7, 2025.

Interviews last two days and include meetings with students and faculty and the chance to learn more about current research at Dartmouth. This interview weekend is a critical part of the application process.

IND will notify candidates of its post-interview decision either by email or by postal mail by January 31st.

The following on-site visit is designed to provide you with essential information and contacts that will provide you with a successful transition to graduate school at Dartmouth and to life in the beautiful Upper Valley of New Hampshire and Vermont. IND can accommodate reasonable requests for alternate visit dates. IND covers domestic airfare, ground transportation, parking, accommodations at Dartmouth, and meals on Friday and Saturday. Regrettably, IND does not have the resources to pay for international travel to Dartmouth. If an international student is already visiting the U.S. we may be able to help with the additional cost incurred by traveling to Hanover.
