30 minute live session. I went through my questions pretty quick, then it was a regular conversation after that haha. My interviewer was super nice and it doesn't have to be answering all the set questions

I got the same email almost a month ago. I think they will keep sending these short surveys throughout the cycle until they decide to either reject you or offer an interview.

yes, i talked with the admissions team and they told me that if you arent offered a interview quite yet they will keep on sending those surveys. That way they know to keep you in mind or just move on.

Is there anyone who received an II from DMU despite not having taken the AAMC preview? I know its not required but I’m wondering if they consider that to be a factor.

Accepted within 2 weeks of my interview; no preview!

 

[Orthobro56]

anyone with a sub 500 mcat get an interview or acceptance?

 

[Jjdoctor18]

Can someone make / is there an admitted students group chat currently?

 

[kuplajsan]

I'm not able to register for the interview, i keep getting a message saying "There was an error, please see the system administrator!"
What to do?

 

[Ahsoka145]

Would you guys recommend sending a thank you after the interview? I don’t have an email of the interviewer

 

[majesticman]

OOS A last night. Interviewed 10/10. The email came at 8:30pm while I was at bar trivia with my friends

 

[frost.byte]

Does anyone know how to decline an acceptance? Would I just email the admissions office? I don't want to hold on to my seat when it could go to somebody else.

Email them a formal letter requesting to withdraw

should I be concerned that I haven’t received any updates or surveys since the “Application Complete” email on 9/12? I submitted my primary on 8/1.

 

[futurebrowndoctor]

^^ Same boat I got the application complete email late september but haven't heard anything since. Did they forget about me or is there still a chance?

 

[Bobby "Big Play" Falcone]

How much of a disadvantage am I at if I just submitted my application?

 

[Tempest13]

+1 OOS A 11/20! interviewed 10/17

 

[MrSilis]

+1 OOS II 11/24

 

[VoodooPreMed]

I got my application complete email late October, is there a reasonable timeline for expecting a response based off this info? No further emails since.

 

[similarswordfish]

has anyone who interviewed on or after 11/7 heard back?

 

[Syncreon3228]

has anyone who interviewed on or after 11/7 heard back?

Nope, I interviewed on 11/6

 

[live(r)at]

I haven't heard back and I interviewed 10/24 lol

 

[jazzyj_]

Interviewed 10/10, and was told it'd take 6-8 weeks to hear back, but I got the A 10/28. Submitted my deposit last night. Are there any group chats for admitted students?

 

[happycamper1000]

Anyone else got a continued interest email?

 

[beansman33]

Submitted my deposit yesterday, but my portal still says the requirement is not met. Anyone else experiencing this?

Same happened to me, they have to manually update the status, so it won’t be reflected until Monday. If you got a receipt email you should be fine. I’d send an email to admissions in case, they emailed me back Friday and a few minutes later it was updated in the portal.

 

[Kriszzzzy]

has anyone who interviewed on or after 11/7 heard back?

Nope, interviewed that day.

 

[smrtprinciple]

Nope, I interviewed on 11/6

has anyone who interviewed on or after 11/7 heard back?

Interviewed 10/23, accepted today. They seem to be taking longer than the anticipated 4-6 week timeline.

 

[ballooncycledeck]

OOS II on 12/16! Complete 10/20

 

[live(r)at]

Interviewed 10/24. OOS A 12/16

 

[No-Paramedic1234]

Do they accept post-interview thank you notes?

 

[No-Paramedic1234]

Do you have to have your camera on for the Dean overview?

 

[Rv15]

Submitted all materials on Dec. 15th and received an OOS II on Dec. 30th. LizzyM 70. I have my interview scheduled for Friday Jan. 9th and I wanted to know if anyone had some tips for what to expect or how to prepare. Thanks!

 

[sorangist]

+1 OOS II 1/5. Looks like it's a live interview with DMU faculty via Kira. Anyone have any insight into the live interview process? Are they asking the same questions as their asynchronous interviews?
