Will you be attending UDM?
 
How long does it take for the school to acknowledge they received the supplement fee? I sent the money order on 6/14. Still haven't received anything.

I sent mine last week. I called yesterday to check and they are closed till July 10. Also sent my highschool transcript yesterday.

If we could pay using a credit card it'd be so much faster

ok thanks for the update!
 
Does anyone know if the minimum DAT score of 19 in each section is a hard/set on stone rule, or do they make exceptions ?

I feel although they worded it that way, that's a recommendation, otherwise thats a really harsh sub section cut off that I don't think any other school has. There are members from last years thread who got interviews with dat less than 18 in important sections like RC
 
Did you guys already send in the fee and 2x2 photo? I saw that last year people were invited to the interview without submitting those beforehand.
 
I received an email saying they've received my application and to send in my sup fee/photo.

Did you receive confirmation that they received your fee?
 
I emailed them about confirming they received our fees/photo and they said since the school was closed till July 10, they have a bunch of files to go through. So don't worry much if you haven't received any confirmation yet, as neither have I. And yes apparently people last year got interviews before their supp and pics were received.
 
Lol i got an email saying they received my app fee and my heart sank thinking it was an II...

Did you guys also get an email recently saying that they received your supp fee and photo? I guess that means they're preparing to send out invites. According to previous years, it should be around this time. Hopefully they should start next week.

Ya I got the email but they didn't mention anything about my 2x2 photo (it was in the same envelop as the check so prob no issues)

I also sent my highschool transcript around 2 weeks ago (for Canadians) but didn't get a specific confirmation yet.
 
Just an update for people applying, I received an invitation for an interview today (Applied on July 14th, Payment & 2x2 photo were received July 19th)

Open to any questions you guys might have.

Good luck! 🙂

Ooh can you expand on your interview experience at UDM?!

It's 2 on 1 for about 40-45 minutes. I guess it depends who your interviewers were, but mine were extremely laid back and very outgoing. They asked simple interview questions (nothing that would shock you or anything) and a couple ethical questions. It was my favorite interview experience.

Also, may I ask why you think they did not accept you post interview the first time?

Probably because my GPA is low. I know I did well in the interview, but I'm assuming many others did well and I know their GPA is higher than mine so when I was compared with the other students, my GPA is what hurt me. I'm doing a post bacc currently to hopefully "fix" it.

This is all an assumption of course. I am not strong with interviews, but I know my interview at Detroit was.

I was hoping that it was just a fluke on my end ugh
