How many students are in the central Iowa cohort?
Half of the class

~40 people will be in the year long cohorts in Des Moines.

Meanwhile the other year longs are out of town or out of state.

I just received an email asking me to confirm my interest in DMU with a follow up essay asking about updates since applying. They gave me an option to withdraw my application too. Wondering what this means?

I got the same email mid-October and then two weeks later got the interview invite! Not entirely sure, but I would say this is a good thing! 🙂

I got an email last week saying that my application was placed on hold. Anyone know how likely the hold will turn into an II?
 
Anyone heard back recently about their interview? Assuming I'm on the waitlist since I haven't heard anything for over 10 weeks but wondering if there will be movement after the December deadline date

I'm also past 10 weeks. Pretty annoyed because I've reached out twice and they really are just refusing to give any sort of answer or timeline about when I'll hear something, they just keep using the word "soon" and then I never hear from them. Out of all my acceptances I really wanted to pay the deposit here but I guess I'm forced to pay it elsewhere and hope to hear back after the deadline.

Wondering if we will hear around the December 14th date when people decide to not put a deposit in at Des Moines
 
OOS II; LM 65 submitted 06/13! Did get interest form in like October.

Also heads up my invite went to my spam but have always received emails to main inbox.

Just now got the acceptance text. I emailed them last week admittedly a little passive aggressively and they never responded to it, but clearly got the memo that I was frustrated with not having heard back for over 3 months.

Just got an OOS interview invite!
 
OOS: Marked complete on Nov 5th; No interview 🙁

Does anyone know what the general timeline is from being marked complete? Also at what point is it considered only interviewing for waitlist spots based on previous cycles?
 
Just got the continued interest email. Does anyone know what this means? Could this mean that an interview invite is coming or is that overly optimistic?
 
I emailed admissions but they haven’t responded yet, does anyone know if DMU accepts updates and how to submit one if they do?

Sorry if this has already been asked!
 
OOS II received today around 3:30 CST !! I also had received the continued interest email on Nov 1st 🙂 LM 64

If the person that posted receiving a DMU waitlist today on cycletrack is on here, would you mind please sharing when your interactive session was? Thank you!
 
Anyone? Should I call the office
I would definitely call by now. I received the registration for the group session 2 days after my Kira back in September. I’m assuming that the office is moving slower due to the holidays.
 
Hmm I see. Does everyone get registration for group session after Kira or is it only select interviewees?
Not sure but I’m assuming everyone who got invited for a Kira also gets an invite for the group session. I think they go hand in hand
 
How long after completing Kira do you have to wait until getting the group session invite? I did my interview this past Saturday.

I completed Kira 12/09 then received the group invite 12/12 - only dates available were 12/16 and late January. Think it can take up to two weeks based on replies I think.
