This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I received my acceptance too earlier today after interviewing on 12/9. I don't mean to be sensational, but friends, genuinely never give up on this dream. Be willing to take detours -- life happens -- but no matter what please don't give up. Work your butt off and use every opportunity to show these programs that you want a seat. Know that you got this and your moment will come. 🙂

About how long did it take you guys to get the email confirmation that you got your campus preference after you put the deposit down? Did they send it to your personal email or LMU email?

Is LMU sending out the little banners in the mail saying you're accepted? I would really love to send a pic to my fam with it 🙂
 
For those of you who accepted your seat, did you do so through the portal or just by paying the deposit?

Its not the one you see on LMU instagram though, I think that's white coat day. Its a normal size computer paper that says something about "i got admitted at LMU-DCOM!!" and stuff like #LMUsaidyes and #futureDOctor

I just paid the deposit electronically and then got the confirmation email with campus confirmation less than 2 days later

I sent a formal email response accepting my seat and then asked if I could decide on a campus after my tours of both campuses which were upcoming at the time.

Does anyone know if any ii have been sent out recently? If not, does anyone know approximately when the next batches are coming out?
 
Does anyone know if there is a cadaver lab at Knoxville campus? I can't find anything about it

I saw it via personal email about 4 days after putting the deposit.
 
whoever interviewed january 6th.. how did the interview work? was it 3 applicants in a zoom call? plus.. why does it say room A,B, C, etc?
I interviewed in December and got accepted a few days after. To answer your question, when I interviewed, there were approximately 50 students online. In order to be able to interview everyone, the staff organized students in 3 Groups -- A, B, C. These are not room assignments, they are just chronological groupings to determine who interviews when. While one group is interviewing, the other groups are listening to presentations about student life and hearing from student-doctor ambassadors. Back to the question. The Groups are then further broken down into sets of 3 students and assigned to different zoom meeting rooms. You don't have to worry about groupings/room assignments, they take care of all of this for you.

The interview is both structured and conversational. It is a laid back interview with no "gotcha questions", but I would still prepare answers for the common questions on the school's SDN interview page. My interviewers asked each of us questions -- so there is no need to be nervous about not being able to get some words in, they will make sure to call on everyone the same number of times. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask! You're gonna do great, and of course, be sure to send the interviewers a thank you email after the interview.

You're welcome! I am not sure about the exact acceptance rate, but I do think your chances are solid so long as you do well on the interview. LMU generally doesn't send out IIs unless they think you're a good fit. They also have a very active WL with lots of movement.

You'll get an email regarding that stuff soon. You'll do all that stuff using CastleBranch. It's a sucky website but it does the job.
 
Hey guys, my interview is on 2/17 and just wanted some tips from anyone that’s been accepted. Also, what is the dress code for the zoom interview (male)? I am currently overseas so it’s difficult for me to Navigate through these forums and online in general, thanks for the help in advance!

Attire is business professional just like a job interview would be! Tips I could think of are to use the SDN DCOM interview feedback page to see example questions you could be asked, come prepared with questions for the faculty and staff, and to have a few snacks prepared! Also take a deep breath because the interview is actually fun!

is there any med students on this thread? Is it easy to get research opportunities at LMU-DCOM?

Also curious
Not a current student but I emailed them about this a few months back. They have research opportunities at both campuses; however, they ask that students hold off on research until the 1st semester of 1st year is done. That way, you allow yourself to find a rhythm and success in your classes before adding more workload in the form of research. Here is the link that I was provided: Student Scholarly Activity and Research
