Before you decide to attend DMU, Please read my posting of Best DO schools. DMU had the second lowest COMLEX Part I pass rate at 80%.

DMU acceptances tend to accept so the wait list number isn't huge.
I would suggest that ripulpancal2000 look into things before making claims. Those numbers were most likely from the DO-05 class. The number was higher than 80% (somewhere around 88%) and it was actually the lowest pass rate in memory at DMU. It was a statistical abberation. I would like to say it was just an underperforming class, but it may have to do with the fact that DMU was changing the curriculum and several of the professors that year as well. On the other hand I knew many of that class and they did like to party, but I don't know if it is more so that other classes (more than ours though). DMU usually scores in the midlle of the pack or higher on the COMLEX. They also score the highest on the OMM portion nearly every year (If you are really into OMM).

Those numbers were provided to US News & World Report by DMU.

Those numbers don't seem right. Where did you get your data? I interview applicants and I know I don't except at that rate... "
I believe interviewers decisions are only one part of final decision. Admissions committee makes final decisions.
By the way, I interveiwed there last week and hope to here back soon!

Hmm.....numbers don't seem right at all. Especially when I went to the US NEWS and World Report site and they show DMU as not responding...maybe its differnet in print though.
One usually hears from DMU in about 3 weeks cmudan. And you are right their is a committee, but I can tell you that most interveiw groups tend to agree on candidates and if they don't like a candidate the chances of them getting accepted aren't very high at all. That being said I don't have many interviews where I don't like a candidate, but it does happen.
