Hey, can anyone tell me if the interview at DMU is open file? Thanks!
 
Yes. I was just there for an open house and they said the interview is Open File.
 
Yes, it is open file. Are you interviewing there soon? I love it at DMU and I couldn't imagine going to school anywhere else.
 
I interviewed last week. It was open file and the interview was low stress and conversational. Good luck on your interview.
 
I was there for the first day of interviews and it was open file (like everyone else has said). The people there are very nice, though the interview was a little intimidating because there were 4 interviewers with me. Good luck at your interview and make sure you ask lots of questions!!

p.s. i got really overwhelmed because nearly everything is just top notch, so its alot to take in. I would maybe recommend taking notes on the things you like/dislike because after interviewing at other schools I found that really nowhere could compare

Funny you mentioned this because I was talking to a couple of interviewees and they seem to have become more nervous later on in the day after they have seen our great campus, facilities, and student atmosphere. They really wanted to get that acceptance.

Ahh if it were that simple.

He's been working at his current job for 5 years and is moving up in the company. He also has excellent insurance, whereas I'm self-employed and have none but his. We own our house here and the market, well, sucks. Plus, I'm going to be studying a LOT so I don't think it's fair to demand him to move away from his friends and all the extracurricular things he's involved in. Besides, we've already decided that if I have to attend med school away from home, we'll be living apart. 4.5 hours is doable, but just a long-ass drive.

Now, residency is another story, and so is a job after residency.

I see, that is tough. I'm not sure exactly how far you are from Chicago but that's got to be a better option than 4.5 hours away. I can't imagine living away from my husband. I will be hoping and praying that something works out for you closer to home! :luck::luck::luck:

Oh heck, I'm 1 hour from CCOM and interview there next week. I just have to get accepted 😉!

Thanks for the kind thoughts though! It'll work out in the end, however it's supposed to be.
