If you don’t mind me asking when was your info session and what are your stats?

Nov. 13 was the session. Stats are 3.18 cGPA, 3.05 sGPA, and MCAT 518

Those who did the group interview, did this entail any 1 on 1 portions, or was it just to provide an overview of the school and offer a Q/A panel?

Not sure if this has already been talked about, but what is the grading scheme at DMU? Pass/fail or letter grades?

 

[Almosthere771]

pre-ii rejection, bummed but mcat low. Was hoping this was it because of state school, kinda sad, but it is what it is. Good luck everyone : D

Letter grades for almost everything! There is 1 first year class that's pass/fail (Medical Informatics).

still no text!! could potentially be delayed because of the holidays

 

[JD_H2G2]

same! I should be taking some advice I once read in large friendly letters but that’s a bit difficult.

 

[Fencing Doctor 319]

These dates seem to be a bit all over the place. Last week seemed solidly with the 11/13 Zoom crowd. This week should be 11/20. Except some 11/20s heard late last week. Some 12/4s are hearing too. Oh, the humanity!

 

[JD_H2G2]

It also looks like some were getting text as late as 3 pm EST so I guess that should help me relax a bit

[whoisthataltruist]

didn't they say the week of the 21st? so it could not be today

 

[Fencing Doctor 319]

The email I received post-Zoom said, "Please allow 4-6 weeks for a final decision via email."

For those Zooming 11/20, that comes to anytime from 12/18 - through about the end of 2020.

Withdrew my A here, I hope it goes to one of you on the waitlist. Good luck everyone!

I assume it’d be sooner rather than later is their aim given the holidays.

Thank you!! and no problem. I'm from Out-Of-State (kinda non-traditional), cGPA/sGPA 3.5, MCAT 511. 3+ years healthcare experience as volunteer and scribed for little over a year.

 

[Fencing Doctor 319]

Anyone do the “success meeting” yet? Any feedback?

 

[disulfidebond23]

Anyone do the “success meeting” yet? Any feedback?

It's super quick! They just go over outstanding requirements (deposits, etc.). Mine was under 10 min

 

[let-me-take-my-mcat]

Anyone do the “success meeting” yet? Any feedback?

It's literally just a 5 minute phone call where they tell you the same thing that's on the "outstanding requirements" form and let you ask questions. Nothing to stress about.

 

[ahopefulmed]

I've been on hold for months! Anyone else?

 

[futuredocnully]

I've been on hold for months! Anyone else?

Me too! I think I've been through two 90-day wait times lol at this point I don't think they want me but they don't want to say "no" yet

 

[_Ro-z_]

Withdrawing my acceptance. I hope it goes to one of you!

 

[Georgebrown901]

For those of us who had zoom sess on 12/7, I wonder if we have a shot of hearing back before the new year

 

[ahopefulmed]

Me too! I think I've been through two 90-day wait times lol at this point I don't think they want me but they don't want to say "no" yet

Thank you for replying!! Yeah same, I'm curious how many interviewees they take from the holds!!

 

[Canvaseyes]

Anyone else have an upcoming info session?

 

[meddreams158]

Anyone from the 12/11 session heard back yet?

 

[greenmonkeyy]

Anyone else have an upcoming info session?

Mine's on 1/15!

From what I've heard there's a presentation followed by a Q&A panel, is that all? Does anyone have any other info about it?

Mines 1/7. I haven't heard anything other than that myself. Saw part is supposed to be with faculty and part with students. Since it's only an hour, seems largely informational.
