Interview date??Put on hold today
I feel like everyone knows who I am lolMy reaction when I'm on SDN in the lecture hall and I see a DMU DO-18 mystery classmate post:
And thanks to some of you for making it easy

You gotta believe in yourselfI THINK I do. But I'm not 1000% sure.
I wouldn't have been put on hold if I got an interview. Wasn't waitlisted I was put on hold which is like a pre interview wait list.Interview date??
Got it.I wouldn't have been put on hold if I got an interview. Wasn't waitlisted I was put on hold which is like a pre interview wait list.
I think you have a good chance. Did you apply late?Been under review for over a month now. Glad I haven't received any bad news yet, but not exactly feeling like I'll receive good news either. My cGPA is a real bad spot for my application, currently at 3.16, while my sGPA isn't so bad 3.38, and my MCAT is a strong 32. I'm not from the midwest, I've very clearly stated my desire to work with underserved, but in urban settings.
After being rejected from MU-COM, DMU would be pretty high up on my list if I thought I stood much of a chance of getting in. Anyone care to chance me?
EDIT: super solid upward trend of 70 hours at roughly 3.9 (biology & chem pre-reqs and upper division mainly)
Nah, I've been complete with them since 8/20. My ECs show years of commitment and work with urban underserved, but after some of my rejections, I'm not sure how well I came off in my personal statement and essays. Plus, that cGPA ain't pretty.I think you have a good chance. Did you apply late?
Zombie burgerInterviewing here on monday! Kinda nervous since it's my first. Does the office have any room for our bags? Also does anyone have any advice on where to explore if I have a day in Des Moines to myself. I'm flying in early Sunday morning.

My brother in law just started at DMU this August. He is a non traditional 34 year old student, not from the midwest, 3.3 cGPA, 3.2 sGPA, 27 mcat. He was initially put on the waitlist after being accepted to 3 or 4 other schools, ultimately decided to go to RVU. Two weeks before moving his family to Colorado he got the call from DMU. So yes there is hope. (His GPA might have been slightly higher than that, but i know at one point he told me his GPA was around 3.2)Been under review for over a month now.

That and my love of batman villainsPerhaps all the meme photos should be a big hint?
Sure thing terms can be confusingGot it.

DMU shoots for all-stars, right?
Well I'm pulling for ya. I'm waiting to see if I get an II here as well. I'd love to go to DMU, definitely in my top 3.@Higherprimate @JPickos9989 thanks for the feedback.
It does feel like a number of schools really focus on fit. Guess I'll find out soon if they feel I'm a good match. There are some other schools out there that I do feel like are a good fit for me. Not many schools specifically speak to serving urban underserved populations, so it can be hard to tell which schools (outside of the obvious ones) have a real interest in those type of students
'Preciate it! Pulling for you too. I've seen you pick up at least one solid interview (MU-COM) so far, and I'll bet you grab a few more.Well I'm pulling for ya. I'm waiting to see if I get an II here as well. I'd love to go to DMU, definitely in my top 3.
They do have a decent size closet where you can keep your stuff!Interviewing here on monday! Kinda nervous since it's my first.

The numbers aren't a very good indicator of interview chances.
O NO! I may have to do a last minute cancellation. My flight from Chicago to Des Moines tomorrow appears to be canceled.... I don't know how else I would get there last minute...
Call admissions first thing in the morning and see if you can reschedule. I think they will be more lenient with you as you're coming from the east coast and the whole fire disaster at ohare and midway really isn't something you can control. switching flights isn't an option? I understand that would be insanely expensive I'm sure, but potentially flying into Milwaukee then to DSM? Just trying to think of some ideas for you
Your airline may be willing to work with you as well depending on who you're flying.
I'm on hold now to see what can be done (50 minute estimated wait LOL!). If they can divert me to one that is not to much more expensive i'll do that but if its double the price or something I will be unable to afford it . Hopefully DMU will just let me reschedule, I have a feeling I won't be the only one.
Can you drive?
I can't see DMU not letting you reschedule. The cancellations of the all the flights happened this week. You may potentially be able to get a flight to Minneapolis-St.Paul if not Milwaukee, if that's still on the table. I'm sure there are hundreds of people calling to fix flights
Does anyone know which background check vendor DMU uses?
