Sorry for all the questions-for people who were accepted, did you get your financial aid package soon after acceptance? Looks like I only have 3 days to decide where to go so just want to see what the cost of attendance would be before deciding

Any chance they’re gonna make it to the second quartile for waitlists this year Lol?

 

[brbcrying610]

seems like the waitlist is moving real slow this cycle 🙁

 

[Thefifthyear]

Gave up my A up here last week. Hope it goes to one of you all!

 

[medstud16]

One more q to anyone currently enrolling - have your child & elder abuse checks cleared? I emailed in the form but it’s showing not completed for about a week and a half now

I submitted mine on May 12th but it's still not completed. Might be backed up 🤔

Congrats were you first quartile as well?

Yes I was. I have since declined the offer but I would have been very happy to attend this school

 

[Nosferatu32]

Anyone still on first quartile waiting to hear back?

We have to pay $150 for our own background check?

We have to pay $150 for our own background check?

Yeeee, pretty sure osteopathic schools are the only ones through that vendor that have to pay the fee. The MD schools don’t 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

[Nosferatu32]

Anyone from 2nd quartile hear back yet?

 

[sosmedicine]

Is there a dress code for students while on campus?

No dress code. When I do go to lecture it's in shorts or sweats.

Oh thank God all I wear is activewear

 

[Nosferatu32]

Just got off WL earlier today, second quartile

 

[the phenol countdown]

Lol just got an II today (?????)—will be declining.

I was put on hold sometime last fall I think. Hope it goes to one of y’all!

 

[cephhas]

Got told I'm off the waitlist today... likely will be turning it down, hope it goes to someone who needs it! Good luck all.

 

[premedvybes101]

Did anyone get the "still interested " text /email from Anna before getting accepted recently. I'm wondering if that's a good sign?

I got my acceptance a few days after getting that text, so it might be a good sign!

 

[DocInProgress23]

Just got an II?? Idk what to do!!

 

[jeanjacket989]

Got an II yesterday afternoon but will be declining the offer. Hope it goes to one of y’all!

 

[DocInProgress23]

People who are declining II. Just curious which school are you going to?

 

[username1999]

Late, but withdrew my A last week. Best of luck to those on the WL!

 

[premedvybes101]

I just got the A at 11am!
Interviewed 3/16; 2nd quartile 04/26 and LM 63

 

[premedvybes101]

Any DMU students I can message esp anyone who moved from the tristate area? I wanted to ask some questions

 

[premedvybes101]

If you guys dont mind sharing, what were your mcat / gpa?

Sure, 3.53 gpa 3.6 sgpa and mcat 503

 

[rarecornball]

Also just got an II today.

Me too!! I wonder how likely it is that interviewing this late will lead to an acceptance. I'm gonna take my chances though

 

[carte123]

just received an interview invite, but will be declining for another school. hoping for the best for all of you!!!

 

[premedvybes101]

Any DMU students from the east coast I can talk to or just DMU students ?

 

[ZyzzBro]

Did anyone get a scholarship today?

 

[premedvybes101]

they're still giving them?

 

[ZyzzBro]

they're still giving them?

Apparently so, a friend of mine who’s going here got a scholarship today.

 

[DOcSto]

Wanted to pop in and say congrats to anyone receiving A’s. I’m a rising OMS-II, would be happy to answer questions. I am a little busy right now, but I will get back to you as soon as I can!

 

[DOctor2be95]

I am a current fourth year at DMU, feel free to message me with any questions!

 

[medowl]

Do people actually get A's from these June interviews? I guess I don't understand why they'd be rolling out more interviews if they're still going thru the WL?

I think they may anticipate to clear the chosen part of the remaining wl and maybe want to wl more for potential to accept in the coming weeks

 

[sosmedicine]

I wonder how soon we will find out after the group session… idk if I should reapply now or wait

Eh just wait, I applied extremely late in the cycle (literally already in 2023) so you'll be ok to wait at least a few weeks

 

[medowl]

recent interview here, if I was thinking about sending an update letter to DMU should I wait until my group session is over or should I send it now? (I already completed Kira, group session is this week 6/23)

Hi everyone, just gave up my seat in the class here. It is a great school that I was really looking forward to going to, but I got off the waitlist at my top choice. Hope it goes to one of you!🙂
