Withdrawing my seat, hope it goes to someone on the WL!

To those who interviewed in the past 2-3 weeks, any updates?

 

[TiramisuLover99]

The academic calendar lists Winter Break as December 23 - January 1.
The term dates, however, list December 8 as being last day of Fall term and January 2 as being first day of Spring term.
So is Winter Break 1 week or 3.5 weeks?
Asking because I'm trying to plan travel and book flights ASAP.

Look at your outlook calendar. The week after the term ends is retest week. If you don’t retest then it’s an extra week off.

Nada. I know of 2 other people that got accepted from these late interviews though

 

[DocInProgress23]

Can I email or call them for an update? I need to decide between schools and move soon. 😢

Did they both get accepted on the same day or different days? Trying to see if maybe acceptances were sent in a batch

 

[TiramisuLover99]

Got accepted recently, interviewed with the last 3 sessions, scrambling for housing

There is lots of housing availability in DSM and things can move as fast as you want them to! Speaking from experience . Many places will give video tours via FaceTime or Zoom as well. Additionally, there are a few places that will give you a few months lease, if you want to move here and have a place to stay for just a few months, and spend some time looking for some good housing once you are already here.

Different days

 

[rarecornball]

I wonder if anyone from the recent interviews has received a rejection? Or does DMU ghost

I would assume (emphasis on assume), unless they just totally didn’t like you, if you interviewed in one of the late batches you were auto placed on the alternate list.

Congratulations!! Did you get any texts/emails before you were given your official acceptance?

Congratulations!! Did you get any texts/emails before you were given your official acceptance?

Yes, I received two texts asking if I was still interested in attending DMU.

 

[rarecornball]

Any news of acceptances today?

 

[DocInProgress23]

I got put on alternate list with a confirmed seat for next year on Friday. (

Ooo that's interesting though. At least you don't have to worry about reapplying, and you have a whole year to yourself essentially. Did you receive any text messages about still being interested before you got that email?

 

[DocInProgress23]

Yess, I did.

For current students - Are exams primarily online or in person? If there are exams on Friday, can those be taken remotely, or do we have to appear in person? I'm trying to plan some travel as well and wanted to ask since I've seen different medical schools administer exams both in person and remotely since covid

Exams are online but in-person

Does anyone have any interview advice? The interview seems short since it is only an hour, and I am wondering if we are expected to talk about our app and expeirnces/MMI style/what will go on!
