Congrats! Do you think the email is what facilitated you getting a decision or not really? It’s been 5 weeks since my session so I think it may be too early to email them.

Received a second, but different, student ambassador postcard in the mail today. Interviewed 11/10. Based on previous comments in the thread, I’m assuming this has no bearing on decision?

is there a place on the portal to do this or did you have to reach out

 

[medical_shrimp]

I had to reach out, I emailed them they followed up asking for some confirmation information and then it was finalized. I couldn’t find anywhere to do it on the portal but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist lol.

I don’t think it indicates anything but the wording is very unclear . After my acceptance I received an actual packet in the mail.

 

[Crust101]

Has anyone from the 10/26 info sesh Hurd back ?

 

[themountain123]

Has anyone from the 10/26 info sesh Hurd back ?

10/16 info session still nothing

 

[medicine&mascara]

10/16 info session still nothing

Same here!

 

[Josh cord]

So for the info session, is it just you and faculty or is it a group of applicants?

Group of ~20, plus a faculty member and 2-3 student ambassadors

 

[themountain123]

Has anyone here been rejected or waitlisted?

 

[Rite1234]

[cozu]

Another day another survey for continued interest plz dmu

I received a couple of those before I got an interview invite in February. It's annoying, but it's still possible to be interviewed. 😄

 

[JustBoughtAHammock]

Withdrew my acceptance due to an In-State A I got. Blessings to all. Hope my A goes to one of y'all.

 

[bananabread224]

Just received IS II today

 

[doctorate123]

Hey, I interviewed on 10/22 and had my group session on 11/2. In the email I received on 11/2, they said to allow for 4-6 weeks for a decision. This coming Thursday marks 6 weeks, is it fair to send an email to admissions on Friday if they haven't sent one out yet by then or would that look bad?

Won’t look bad but I expect things will start moving after December 14th next week. DMU seems to be playing it safe in regards to sending out any waitlists or rejections for now

 

[Crust101]

Spoke with DMU today, movement and communication should be happening after the 14th this week and into January

Does this mean those of us who haven’t heard are looking at mostly WL or R??

 

[mj_lobster]

I think it’s dependent on who is depositing by December 14th how much movement will occur.

 

[DOcSto]

Does this mean those of us who haven’t heard are looking at mostly WL or R??

No this is neurotic. It means you’re still in review. That’s it.

 

[Josh cord]

Do I need to prepare for the group interview?

 

[Crust101]

Got the A today ! So happy

 

[Dr.Chopper]

Also got an A via text! Had my group session beginning of November

 

[thev3lv3tunderground]

Can anyone provide insight into what interview day is like? Since it is only one hour and there is a group of us, are we still expected to answer Qs in an MMI fashion? Or is it an info session that isn't being "scored" in any way?

 

[thev3lv3tunderground]

Congrats!! Was the group session like an interview where you are expected to talk, or was it more of a casual info session?

I believe I signed an NDA so none of us can really speak on it

 

[mj_lobster]

[Crust101]

Did any of y’all’s portals update with the deposit due date for those who got the A today? My portal has not updated yet

Not yet. I think it updates within a week according to the website in the email.
