**** The Official University of Detroit Mercy Dental Class of 2024 Interview/Acceptance Thread ****

I’m down for this. My interview is on the 24th as well.
 
I have created the group chat on whatsapp for August 24 interview.
If you wanna be in the group just send me your phone number and I will add you.
 
Is there any reason why you declined? Also, how many interviews have you received so far if you don’t mind me asking?

Hey! So I thought long and hard about declining before I did. But it really came down to how far away I’d be from family. I live in the southern United States and Michigan was just too far away. I was very humbled and thankful to receive the interview but I knew I would not be happy being so far away from family. But including UDM I have received 5 interviews so far. I’ve completed 1 and have my next one at the end of this week.
 
Has anyones Kira questions been about why you want to be a dentist? Or why you choose UDM?

I have my interview on 8/24! Can someone please add me to the groupchat on Whatsapp?!
 
Tried to message you my phone number to start a group chat, but it’s not letting me private message you.
Sorry I was in China and apparently SDN is blocked.
I just followed you. See if that would help! Are you still looking for a person sharing ride with?

No worries! Are you coming from out of state? I haven’t booked a hotel yet, but I’ll be ubering from hotel to the campus and back to hotel. Figured if anyone was staying at same hotel they could uber with me since I have the ride covered.

I’m get back from vacation tmw and I’ll probably look into hotels on Monday!
 
I guess one thing I forgot to factor in with the rental is the parking situation which I am not familiar with, can anyone else comment on how difficult it is to find street parking near the school?
The school has plenty parking in their lot which is free

Hi, I submitted my application on August 9th. The school confirmed my application on the 16th. I was invited for an interview today.
 
Hey guys what is the best interview prep for UDM? Give me some good websites where I can find some potential good interview questions that UDM could possibly ask me.
 
Anyone interviewing on 9/21 11AM session? I’m coming from CA and will arrive the day before. I also plan to stay an extra day to explore/ learn about the city! Let me know if you are a female and would like to share a hotel room with me!

Hey did anyone who already interviewed have their aadsas status updated?
 
The day was divided up into an intro, a tour with current students where you get to see preclinic/wet labs/gross anatomy labs and ask your student ambassador questions, your individual interviews, and then a Q&A session with dean of admissions and then a student-only panel. The individual interviews are 2 faculty on 1 student and last about half an hour and I believe they are semi-closed file (as in, no gpa/dat visible). From speaking to fellow interviewees the individual interviews ranged from conversational and relaxed to a bit more serious but still not grilling.
