Hello, was there a change in the portal that let you know that the app was under review? If so, could you explain where it is?

There's no secondary for this, right? It's just the questions on the primary?

Has anyone applied to DMU without having any DO experience? For me, I don’t have any experience with DO but I really like the philosophy and would love to go to a DO school. I am just confused about how to answer the question about experiences with osteopathic physicians. Thanks!

Have you ever interacted with any physician who was a DO? I do not have any extended experience, shadowing, recommendation, etc. but talked about a doctor I interacted with who was an osteopathic physician and what I noticed about them. If not, maybe you could just discuss what drew you to the philosophy and how you see your values fitting in to theirs 🙂

Does anyone see in their account when deposits are due?

 

[hippo_cat]

Do they wait until your take PREview to review your app or is having the exam scheduled enough?

PREview is not required. I already completed my interview and never did it.

Portal just updated. Deposits are not due until December, but you have to complete a meeting with the counselor before October 8.
