DMS expects apps increase in 2009

By Greg Berger | November 4, 2008

Joanne Nurse / The Dartmouth Despite a recent report by the Association of American Medical Colleges that shows a 3 percent decline in the number of first-time applicants to medical school for the current academic year, Lee Witters, a professor at Dartmouth Medical School, said he expects the number of medical school applications to increase in 2009, especially among Dartmouth students. Based on past trends, the current national economic crisis may cause more students to consider attending medical school and pursue jobs in medicine, as positions in business become more scarce, Witters said. Among Dartmouth seniors this year, 218 students are currently considering applications to medical school, with 179 of those students sure of their plans to apply to medical school, according to Kimberly Sauerwein, the pre-health adviser at Career Services.
