Does anyone know how often the ADCOM for DMU meets. I noticed in the acceptance thread that most of those accepted were informed within a week. Does teh ADCOM meet weekly or is it less often than that? Thanks Everyone.
 
I'm wondering about the same thing, it's been a week, and I have not heard anything back, stress level raising slowly..... :scared:

When did you guys interview? I interviewed the 13th of October, and I heard that within two weeks people should know something. Good luck to all, I loved DMU and was very impressed with it.

Hey soundman - when I interviewed out at DMU last year they got back to me pretty quickly - something like a week or a week and a half. From what I understand, if they invite you for an interview at DMU you're all but in (I think I've heard that somewhere around 75% of those who are invited for an interview get it, but I might be wrong) - they just want to make sure your 'personality' fits w/ the school.

so what 'personality' fits with the school? 🙂

I'd really like to be going to your school 🙂. Well here's hoping, my interview with them is Oct 28th.
 
Here's something to put you at ease.

DMU rocks :horns:
Can't wait until next year!!
I was accepted in less than a week. Same with y'all??
Good luck.
P.S.-with the new facilities, those numbers (% accepted/interviewed) will drop for sure. It's the hottest place out there. 😀
 
🙂 Thanks everyone. I interviewed on the october 7th. It is definitely the place I would like to be next year. And with no acceptance in hand yet, the anxiety is rising with each passing day. Perhaps I going psycho for nothing, but only time will tell. Thanks again for the encouragement.
