I wouldn't worry about the length. It all depends on your responses and who interviews you.

 

[Tri Nguyen]

I think it went well...I guess I'll find out in two weeks or so!

 

[Birchum]

Sheesh. I wonder if that's a good sign that they take so long with someone?

I'll tell you in two weeks!

 

[BabyDoc86]

I am hoping for good news on Friday... hoping for closer to 2 weeks instead of 3!

And as soon as I post that, my phone dings at me and I about jump out of my skin... grrrr spam!!!

If either of you are interested, I'm grabbing dinner with a fellow SDNer the night before. Let me know!

Yep, but I have lurked SDN for much longer than that. I applied EAP and have been conditionally accepted since May. I was actually surprised, they said that they only received 8 apps for EAP this year. Just got my MCAT score last week, so its official. And Thanks.

What's EAP?

Congrats!!! I'm hoping to hear good news before the 28th, we just might be classmates!

 

[ModernAlchemist]

What's EAP?

Probably like EDP. It most likely stands for Early Admission Program.

Amazing that EAP can get you accepted before AACOMAS even opens. How would one even apply without AACOMAS?

 

[DO17 Hopeful]

What's EAP?

Early Acceptance Program, it's kinda hidden on their website.

 

[DO17 Hopeful]

You basically start at the secondary, sending everything directly to DMU. And the best part, it only cost $50. It opens January 1.

What happens on the 28th?

Wish I would have known about this! Oh well.

 

[MedPR]

What happens on the 28th?

2-3 weeks from her interview. It's how long DMU says a decision will take.

 

[BabyDoc86]

What happens on the 28th?

That is when we (my interview group) were told to expect to hear something, at the latest.

Ok, I just got something different from that.

Ha ha ha! I'm liking this ModernAlchemist person more and more.

Possibly DMU's best kept secret. Would have been nice to know about. Lol
Anyway, congrats bro!

Congrats on your acceptance!

As for the EAP, you need to have pretty stellar stats to be considered (high GPA + MCAT). So, good for you and I'll see you next year!

 

[UVU Guy]

That is a long interview by DMU standards though it always depends on the interviewers.

Mine was that long as well this cycle. I didn't feel that long but sure enough I walked out and there wasn't really anyone waiting on those chairs anymore...

 

[peacelovecoffee]

Anyone interviewing October 1st want to get dinner/drinks the night before? Send me a PM!

 

[MedPR]

I think their best kept secret (until you interview) is all the fine ass girls I saw walking around. Just don't tell my girlfriend I said that.

Interviewed on 9/7, got an email today that I was waitlisted.... Was hoping for better news but I guess its not a rejection

Thanks! It was disappointing because I personally felt like the Interview went really well.. 🙁

Still hoping for good news from DMU in the future. Great school, I would be lucky to get picked up off the wait list.

I feel ya. Was hoping to be pretty much done with applying today, my fist big let down of the cycle. Interviewed 9/11 and got the alternate list today. c3.59, s3.82, 28O, felt the interview went really well but I do have a red flag from the distant past which I bet was a big part. Also didn't explain why I had an MD instead of a DO letter too well, which I'll be better prepared for from now on.

Oh well, guess I'm playing the waiting game until Mayish. Good luck to the rest of you! It really is a great school.
