II last night complete 12/13
wow thats quick.II last night complete 12/13
Most are ones where you have to demonstrate interest in FM/EM, etc. or have to be a veteran. But others are available yeah
wow thats quick.
I have been waiting since 9/6 and still no news.
I’m not sure as I don’t have interest in either of those fieldsCan entering students receive those FM/EM ones if we have shown interest? Or are those mainly for upperclassmen that have done EC’s in those fields?

Does anyone know if students receive free laptops every year?
Curious to know before I pay $500 for a laptop that meets their “requirements” since my current one doesn’t

I got a bit of a silly question, but might ask it anyway: is DMU flexible with studying from home - like thorough online materials or do you actually have to attend the campus every day? I live like 3 hours away and have a family (kids), not ready to move closer to the campus yet. I got fairly competitive stats and wonder if I should still apply this year or just wait till next- or even the following cycle and apply then, maybe I'll be a little more flexible regarding living accommodations by then, I doubt it though. I appreciate your insights!Congrats to the prospective incoming class of 2024! I'm a current MS1. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. Either reply in this thread or shoot me a PM. I have no affiliation with the DMU administration and will try to be as candid and open as possible.
1. Too late to apply this year. 100%.I got a bit of a silly question, but might ask it anyway: is DMU flexible with studying from home - like thorough online materials or do you actually have to attend the campus every day?

With strong enough stats he could apply today and maybe get in.1. Too late to apply this year. 100%.
2. You will need to be on campus most days, even for like an hour or two. I was barely on campus besides for required classes and I still was there almost every day, especially in the beginning of school.
You need to live within like 30 minutes. 3 hours is way too far. What you could do is rent an apartment or something and just be home on the weekends if you absolutely cannot move, but unfortunately medicine is a thing that you need to be able to move...residency, etc
nooooooo. Its too late. Think about it, 60 day wait time for processing + scheduling an interview (hoping for a spot) + hoping the class isn't full yet. It isn't worth being a re applicant. DMU is competitive and it isn't like admissions is sitting on their hands waiting for some rockstar, there's a ton of apps.With strong enough stats he could apply today and maybe get in.

Me too! Can’t decideAccepted just now. Interview 12/12. Debating DMU vs KCU
Alternate list. Interviewed 12/16. When does the quartile rank come out again?
Would also like to know this as a 1/23 intervieweeGot an II for 1/24! Does anybody know if the class is full yet and I would be interviewing for the waitlist? I am just curious because this is one of my top choices, thanks!
I am 16 days past the 90 day mark. Hoping for the best.So - I am literally 26 days past their 90 day response and have heard nothing lol so I'm going to go ahead and assume its a soft R but hey good luck to everyone interviewing and congratulations to those accepted!
Accepted a few minutes ago!! Interviewed on 12/16.
Does anyone know if scholarship offers are made at the same time as admission decisions? I can't recall what they said during the presentation.
I won't be applying until next cycle, but I have a few questions about the application process for DMU! Since there isn't a secondary, are the school-specific questions built into the application? What types of questions do they ask?
Thank you! Any advice about applying in general?Yes, the questions are part of the primary application. Only two notable questions which are along the line of "describe your experience with Osteopathic Medicine" and "What are you/will you be doing from this point leading up to matriculation?"
Please do your future self a big favor and apply early, like as early as June 1st when the cycle opens. I applied semi-late this cycle and it has been a rollercoaster ride for me. Seeing other early applicants getting acceptances while you are sitting there waiting for II's is not good for your mental health.Thank you! Any advice about applying in general?
Your school should give you a list of what they need. No more no less.Did anyone else have a committee letter from your college/university? If you did, how many extra LORs did you include from doctors, PI's, etc?

They accept a decent portion of the waitlist, so interviewing for the waitlist isn’t so bad.
Hey! Same. 12/16. Got the A, but no info for financial aid yet. I remember them saying that they discuss our aid alongside our admission decision, so if I don’t get any more info by mid next week, I’ll probably call.
Also for everyone else, I loved this school a LOT. It was pretty amazing and the only downside was high cost and location as I was admitted to my home state school for cheap. I am pretty sure I will decline, (barring crazy aid), and hope it goes to one of you guys. Super amazing place and I’m very fortunate to have gotten into my top 2 realistic schools. If anyone has Qs from interview, I am happy to answer! Best of luck.
Interviewed 12/19

Huge dilemma whether or not I will take the acceptance. Currently it is looking like I will! From NJ so Iowa is incredibly far haha
Moving from AZ to Iowa, I feel
This was the first snowstorm that we got 6 inches in like 5 years. Its more the wind which will be tough to get used to haha you dont spend that much time outside for the first few years just live next to campus and walk itCA to Iowa, same same.
Happy to be given this opportunity, but would have loved to stay where I grew up. I’ll use these four years to figure if I can stand the snow storms.

An earlier post from a current student said we get one of the latest HP or Dell laptops during orientation.

2nd this, they told us exactly this during interview. There will be a list of qualifications that your laptop needs to pass.I'm a current DMU student, up until now DMU has provided laptops for everyone but they recently decided to stop doing that so you will need to have your own laptop!

That’s upsetting. Now we have to dish out $500-$1,000 for a laptop that probably won’t be as good as the ones they historically provided. My laptop is from 2015 and doesn’t meet the qualifications. Do any students have trouble with MacBooks on campus? May finally make the switch to Apple just to match my phone. But man those are expensive.
I guess it’s a small price to pay in the grand scheme of things.

IIRC the cost of the laptops were added onto the tuition anyways, and from what I hear they weren't anything to write home about. I'd recommend a MacBook for school anyway, they tend to be more reliable if you want extended usage (from personal and family/friends' experience).
