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.

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.
