Current first year student here! Last year there was a lot of waitlist movement around May and June as final seat deposits were due for other schools, and a very steady trickle throughout the summer. I was waitlisted and sent a letter of intent, and a few updates including my final grades and work experiences. I just typed mine up into a word document and sent them as a PDF in an email to the admissions office. You can call the admissions office to ask what they would prefer. I really think sending updates shows your interest and increases your chances of getting off the waitlist!
Last year they made it all the way through first quartile and a few into second quartile. Some years they make it to the third quartile, some they didn't make it through the first, it just really depends! I think you can find past year's threads on SDN if you're curious. I would recommend sending updates to show your continued interest, and if DMU is your top choice, send a letter of intent!
I think it's going to depend on when we have access to vaccines, and the call will probably be made over the summer. Most labs are currently in person and I don't see that changing. Whether lectures and orientation will be held in person, I honestly have no idea!
Did you mean to post in the nova thread?
Do you remember what days they were offering for interviews?
Thanks for the response, I recently just sent them an update of a new experience that I have taken on. Should I also send them my grades from the fall semester? And if so is it fine to send in a PDF or would they need a official transcript?
They told us during the 2/19 group session that they definitely still had open seats. They actually said the exact number but I can’t remember it atm. I just remember it was pretty high but less than 200
This makes me feel so much better!! Thank you so much!!
When were you complete?
So, I called after I was notified that I had been waitlisted. They said this year was weird and they loved my application but acceptances had already exceeded their open seats. I think most people are interviewing for wait-list seats now, but who knows.
Dang, this is what I was worried about. I'm sad they don't have any open seats now
When were you told this?
I sent mine to this email; [email protected]
If it boosts your overall GPA or you had a really good semester, I definitely would send them! I asked the admissions office about this last year, they said just a pdf unofficial transcript is fine for an update, and they will only ask for an official transcript if you're offered a seat. You could call or email the admissions office to make sure their preference hasn't changed
That being said, DMU is known for moving through their wait-list. It's worth a short especially if you end up in a HP or first quartile position.
Middle of Feb.
As far as I understand, scholarships through DMU are offered when an acceptance is offered. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong
+1, same zoom session. On their Alternate List FAQ page, it says they'll email us with what quartile we're in, but it doesn't say when.
Don't mean to single anyone out, but would any alternates from today feel comfy sharing their stats? GPA/MCAT?
ARCOM
PM'd you
Congrats! If you don’t mind sharing, when were you complete?
Congrats! What dates were available?
It will be late April, early May.

Can I ask where you decided to go? I am potentially deciding between two schools and trying to decide what will be the best fit for me.
I think today was their last session. So mostly likely not 🙁

I have an iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil. It's a few years old from undergrad, but it works great!
My question is, is it worth it to spend the extra money on the pro vs air or regular if someone were to only really use it for notes and all of them are compatible with the pencil nowadays? The pro is clearly the best of the three but it also costs the most
if you’re only gonna use it for notes, i say get the Air. that’s what i’m doing!
