Admissions
Candidates must apply for admission to each school separately. Admission to one school does not guarantee admission to the other. Because the two schools have different admission and tuition cycles, early application to both programs is encouraged to facilitate coordination by the joining MD/MBA subcommittee.
•        Applicants are encouraged to apply for the combined degree program after admission and matriculation to DMS.
•        Applicants applying for the MD/MBA program prior to matriculating at Dartmouth Medical School should initiate an application to each school where independent admissions decisions will be made, but coordinated by a joint MD/MBA subcommittee. Applicants are advised to apply early during the applicant cycle so that the timing of decisions can be coordinated by both schools. Joint acceptances generally will require that the GMAT examination be taken no later than the application deadline. Each school's decision to admit or not admit is based solely on that school's selection criteria. Admission to one program does not guarantee admission to another.
•        Dartmouth Medical School requires on-site interviews in Hanover. At Tuck, although interviews are not required, they are strongly encouraged. All Tuck candidates are welcome to interview on campus. The admissions committee may contact you if they need to speak with you before making a final decision on your acceptance.
•        The Tuck School of Business has no mandatory prerequisites, but students are encouraged to be come familiar with Microsoft Excel, statistics, financial accounting and microecomonics. Application requirements include statement of honesty and integrity, self-reported GMAT results, self-reported TOEFL results (if applicable), self-reported transcripts, essay and short-answer questions, two confidential statements of qualifications (CSQs) and nonrefundable application fee.

The goal of the Geisel School'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 the Geisel School. Dartmouth receives approximately 5,200 applications a year for about 85 places in the entering class. The Geisel School's student body is national in scope and impact. In fact, the vast majority of our students--over 90 percent in recent years, come from out-of-state.

•        Two years (16 semester hours or equivalent) of chemistry, which must include one semester (or equivalent) of organic chemistry and one semester (or equivalent) of biochemistry.
