Dartmouth saw a 10 percent increase in the number of early decision applicants this year, with an all-time high of 1,856 applications for the Class of 2019. This marks the second year that the College has seen an increase in the number of early applicants — following a 12.6 percent drop in early applicants for the Class of 2017 — coinciding with

a national shift toward early admission programs. Last year, 1,678 students applied early for the Class of 2018, and 469 were accepted, comprising 40 percent of the Class of 2018.

ClearChoiceMD, an urgent care facility aimed to improve access and quality of medical assistance while reducing costs, opened its Lebanon doors Thursday. Visits will last just an hour each and cost about 10 times less than trips to the emergency room, founder Marcus Hampers ’89 said. The center accepts almost all insurance plans, including the Dartmouth student health insurance plan and those provided by Cigna, clinic administrator Brenda Ellis said. Self-pay visits to the center cost a flat

rate of $100, with an additional $25 to $50 added if X-rays, lab work or a particular procedure, such as stitches, are performed, Hampers said. He added that no visit to the center would cost patients more than $250. Hampers worked as an emergency room doctor at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center for 20 years. The center provides urgent care, treatment of non-life threatening and episodic illness and injury. This differs from primary care, where chronic sickness and disease prevention are managed.
