Des Moines University (DMU-COM) Discussion Thread 2012 - 2013

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Congrats to those who got acceptances today! My interview today went really well. I won't post a giant thing about it because others have done that before me. Basically, I agree with what everyone else said. DMU is amazing!
 
Accepted! Very excited, going to be some tough choices ahead! Good luck to everyone.
 
Wow - that's a very fast turn around! Congrats!

I know I wasn't expecting anything until next week. They must review applications on a certain day of the week and include all interviewees for the previous days.
 
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!

Actually, you don't need to have taken the MCAT before applying for the EAP. If accepted, you just have to meet their minimum requirement.

And Thank you.
 
Congrats to those accepted!!!

And to those who did not get back good news today, you'll end up some place amazing regardless!

I hope the 9/13ers will hear back soon.
 
Accepted! It feels so good. I had a fast track interview on 9/7.
 
Woohoo!!! Congrats to all those accepted. So glad to hear such positive news. 🙂

Hope to see many of y'all at DMU next Fall! If you have any questions about anything, feel free to PM me and I'll do my best to answer.
 
So, I know I've asked before, but we're getting much closer now. Who will be interviewing on the 27th? Jaboomday, me...anyone else? Lets get together the night before!

Oh, did I forget to tell you? They moved your day to the 24th so we can hang out. Sorry for the confusion, but I promise it'll be worth it. 😀

Sad day, now I have to pay to change my plane tickets, car rental, and hotel. Bummer. Hey! But at least I get to meet ModernAlchemist! Woo hoo!
I wish...
 
Thanks for all the interview advice and school info. The DMU campus is great and the interview day is really professional and well put together. It is going to be a long three week wait!
 
I got an email from DMU today and thought it could have been an II...but nope. It was a "Discover Des Moines University" email. Made my heart skip a beat haha. I have been complete for almost a month

I got the same thing! I heard a buzz, looked at my phone, and saw something from Des Moines. I paused my music, brought up my email, and assumed "Victory Jumping Position". I interviewed 9/14 and they only send acceptances through email - WL or rejection is snail mail. Boo!

It basically went like this:
:idea: :hardy: :soexcited: :spam: 😡

Though I also forwarded it to my wife so she could have the same reaction...
:meanie:
 
Really? I thought all the decisions came via email?


Actually, it looks like you're right. I thought I remembered the admissions lady saying WL/Rejection was through massive mail, but looks like some people got WL via email...

Psshh ModernAlchemist stealing all my friends 😡
 
I do too! Mostly. But I don't like to tell negative stories, 😉
Too bad YOU can't change to the 27th. Jaboomday and I will miss you.

Haha I should just come back for round two. Maybe they'd respect me for my dedication. Maybe...

I think it's definitely worth a shot. Could only help really...
Tell you what, just hang out in Des Moines and then by the time we get there you'll know the best place to go eat/chillax. Yeah?

If only money was no object.... or the hotel was comped....

I had BBQ at Jethros. It was pretty good and it's just a few miles from the campus.

Jethros is pretty good, indeed!

Good to know. But who goes to Iowa for BBQ? Did you have any good corn? 😉

But... I must agree with this. The only news in des moines relates to either corn field acreage, or the soy bean market. Or the Gigglin' Goat, which burned down.
 
Being from southern California, what else would they feed them?!

Don't ask me what's in it though 😕
