People who have interviewed there already, how was it? Was it relaxed/chill or were the questions grilling?
 
Interview #2
School: Detroit Mercy
Notification date: 10/5
Method of notification: Email
Residency: Minnesota
AADSAS mail-out date: 6/21
Application complete date: 6/24
GPA (science, overall): 3.70, 3.56
DAT (AA/TS/PAT/RC/any section below a 17): 20/19/20/20/none

Was surprised by this one as I haven’t yet actually submitted my supplemental fee or photo... will definitely be doing so now!

I wouldn't say it was grilling, but definitely not completely relaxed either. They had a structure to their interview and it was question after question. Afterwards, when they ask you if you have any questions yourself, that's when it became more conversational.

UDM's website mentions a credit expiry:

"Prerequisites should be completed within 5 years of the application date. Candidates whose prerequisites are older than 5 years at the time of application are advised to retake these courses, preferably at a 4-year institution."

I don't remember seeing this on their website two years ago or if it's new to this application cycle. It's also unclear if this is just a recommendation or a hard rule Anyone applying this cycle (or know anyone who applied last cycle) who graduated university over 5 years ago & still received an interview/acceptance with their "old" prereqs?

I emailed UDM but haven't heard back.

I also realized this may not be the appropriate thread....I do apologise in advance if that's the case!

I saw that as well and assumed that they would not give me interview invite, esp when I had not heard from them since June. Surprisingly, they sent me an invite yesterday

Way better than me, 3.55 cGPA and 19 AA. That’s odd, they received my supplemental late too and I just got the interview. I’m a Michigan resident though and attend their undergrad

Probably they consider me later because of their 5 year policy. Or they just forgot about me lol
 
Is there anybody interviewing Nov. 9th? And, I have no idea where to stay. Could y'all recommend some of the best places to stay?
 
For students who already did the interview, how it was? What were the questions exactly? Thank you
 
Does anyone know how many people they accept from interview?
 
how it is 159+ 134 and the whole class is 144 students. Are there more than one class?
 
Does anyone know when the next time they will be sending out interview emails?

I actually I think this refers to the fact that in order to fill the class of 144 they had to accept 293 students due to multiple acceptances. I don't think it includes waitlist spots. Every school will have more 'admitted' students than enrolled students

Oh ya, you’re right
 
For those who already interviewed, have the interviewers asked anything about your Kira video interview? I just noticed that faculty who review video answers are the same faculty who do in person interviews. So, I was wondering if they ask anything about your answers in the video. Please let me know :)

This is true for most people I interviewed with, they try to keep it balanced, where one interviewer is super friendly and the other interviewer is more straight to the point.

As for the Kira questions, they dont ask about them but they might comment on your answers and let you know if they liked what you had to say or how you said it, that's what my experience was.

It's nothing to sweat. Everyone gets different questions. Just go in confident on it and you'll be good.
