I interviewed 10/4 so probably won't hear til next week, the suspense is killing me!! I bet you'll hear today good luck!

 

[Shammyguy3]

Is the interview open file?

 

[DOgdad23]

Is the interview open file?

Yes, but my interviewers didn't open it. They had notes on my application and went off of those. I did feel like my interviewers actually read my application, though. So that was nice. As far as the interview itself goes, I had a great mix of situational questions and questions about my app. I enjoyed this interview more than any other interview. Good luck!

I personally love zombie Burger but some people may tell you its overrated. Id say still go if you have the chance. Gt one of the alcoholic shakes after your interview and the burger with the grilled cheese sandwiches as buns 🙂 my favorite.

email admissions they'll give you the rundown. Also, just be yourself there really isn't a way to game the interview. Interviewers have done this for years and can see through any facade people try to put up

Has anyone else from the 9/27 interview not heard back yet?

 

[Snickerdoodle1996]

Did anyone find hotels that offer a discount when you mention DMU?

 

[CJhooper123]

Did anyone find hotels that offer a discount when you mention DMU?

Holiday Inn Downtown - a little pricey but has shuttle service to/from school and to/from airport.

 

[Fennel608]

Did anyone find hotels that offer a discount when you mention DMU?

Using Expedia was the cheapest I could find for less than 80 dollars. All the hotel deals through the school were well over 100.

How long did they say it takes to hear back? Interviewed 3 weeks ago tomorrow

I was hoping to find a medical school student from Des Moines as it is one of my top choices who got into DMU. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Waitlisted for interview. Anyone know if I have a chance of getting off the waitlist and when that might be?

Same, I think we will hear today! They said 3 weeks max and it seems they usually send decisions on Wednesdays.

I interviewed 9/28 and have yet to hear. Seems they’re starting to get behind. Anybody else from 9/27 or 9/28 have yet to hear yet?

Oh shoot, well hopefully they caught up and we'll all hear this week lol. I did notice that my portal changed a bit today though, it previously said "9/9 required items received" and now says "9/10 required items received" so progress maybe??

"outstanding requirements confirmation"

 

[armoman898]

"outstanding requirements confirmation"

Prob good. Maybe they run the background checks and other stuff at this point to save money for only hopeful matriculants. That's just my conjecture though.

You've definitely been accepted, mine said the same thing the morning before I received the acceptance email. Congrats!!

 

[hopefulCAdoc]

"outstanding requirements confirmation"

Congratulations! That tells you the classes you need to fulfill (if any) before matriculation, the deposit, and background check information.

I was complete 8/3 and didn't hear a single thing until I finally got an II today lol. Be patient- as long as they haven't told you explicitly, you haven't been denied.
