This is my top choice! I realllllyyy hope I get accepted, I already go to their undergraduate campus and let me tell you, when I went to shadow at their dental school, and it is such an amazing program!!! Everyone I know that is already a dental student has nothing but nice things to say about the program.

Anyways, who else is applying?
Post your interview/acceptance date!
Good luck everyone! 👍

oh and please post your stats as well 🙂

have all of you already received a confirmation email from UDM? My app was mailed on 7/5, and check mailed on 7/4.

I heard that UDM responds quite late in the cycle compared to other schools..🙁

I'm anxiously waiting for this one too

actually... they've changed things around in the past couple years.

They have already received a good numbers of applications (so far) and yes, they are starting to review them (from a few weeks ago).
 
Hey I was wondering how many instate students got accepted last year? I am from Michigan and hoping to go their.
 
Anything heard from the school? My app was mailed out on 7/5 and they cashed out my check, however nothing heard from the school 🙁
 
I called last month and the admission lady said that checks were ok. My check was even cashed with no problem. However, the update email this morning specifically said that UDM is only accepting money orders? ahh conflicting information.

Yeah, that money order only email caught me off guard. Especially with all that emphasis on the word only. I know last cycle that seemed to be more for Canadian applicants so they do not send the fee in Canadian dollars.

But they do not mention the money order requirement here: http://dental.udmercy.edu/admission/procedure/index.htm
 
High school transcript...............sigh

What? We have to send a high school transcript too?

And I called the office and they do want money orders, but they know that some students will be sending checks instead and that is ok as long as the check doesn't bounce.
 
Where did you hear that?!

Hear what? I just realized the high school transcripts is just for canadian applicants. I called the admissions office and they said they want money orders. but they know some students didn't read those instructions correctly and will take checks too. But if the check bounces, they charge you double.
 
DentalWorks or any other student:

Now that detroit has declared bankruptcy, how do you think the School will be affected?

Do, you guys think patient flow will decrease?

I doubt the flow of patients will decrease. People need dental care same as they did before, regardless of whether the city is broke or not.

If I do end up getting into UDM, I will be living across the border in Windsor and commuting.
 
On aadsas supplemental info it says checks or money order, it only specified that they only want money orders on the email...

Hey guys, did anyone not have their checks cashed out? I sent my supplementary with photo and check on 7/31/2013 and they still didn't cash the check.
 
It takes one to two months for them to cash the check in. That's how it took for me and I applied at the end of June
 
I got a call too for September 28th :banana:
