University of Detroit Mercy Dental Class of 2025 Interview/Acceptance Thread

When did you submit your application and did you receive an email yet confirming they received your supplemental?

Also, no, they will send out many other interviews possibly next month.

They received my supplemental 07/28. I submitted 07/24

Did anyone get a confirmation email after scheduling their interview? I didn't get the automatic confirmation email, so I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if that means it didn't go through?

Once you have scheduled your interview through Vcita, the website will automatically send you a confirmation email. That is NOT your official confirmation. You will receive an official confirmation email from someone in the Office of Admissions with your exact interview time on the specified day along with other important information. You will receive your interview link on the Monday before your interview.
 
Anyone did the kira interview? Was it ok?

Does it hurt to send a thank you letter for interviewing after your interview day??? I know that UDM does not want to be bothered. Is it ok to send a thank you letter for interviewing me after interview or its not? Detroit Mercy does not want to be annoyed by us.

I don't see any harm in doing that

Just got the email confirming my interview date. They mentioned that there is going to be an "optional Q&A" featuring Dental Students the day before the interview. Is it really optional or is there a secret penalty for not showing up? There's no way you can be penalized for not coming, right? It's during the work week and it's EST so people in PST could have things going on

So the interview this Saturday is only 30 minutes right? I remember signing up for a 5 hour 11:30 time slot but I got the email saying its only 30 mins.
5 hours? Where did you read that?
 
Yes it's only 30 minutes with a 15 minute wrap-up session with Dr. Chang

Relax, I had the same reaction because it was not a “real” interview. Just focus on the virtual interview!

I just finished my interview and it was super laid back. Don't stress about it. Just know yourself and what you wrote on your application. Obviously expect the typical questions like "tell me about yourself," "why dental," and "why UDM." You'll have a couple of ethical questions too.

Thank you so much for sharing! Was it closed file or open file? Who did you speak with? Did you speak with the dean Dr. Aksu?

I think it was open file! I feel like I shouldn't give too many specifics but I'll just say that no, I didn't speak with Dr. Aksu.

Hello Everyone! I had a few questions to those who have done their interviews already. How was did it go since it is a virtual interview? I know in the past they have done 2 faculty and 1 student so was it the same this year? Also was the interview open/closed file? I have my interview on 10/10 so I was just wondering to help ease my nerves. I'd really appreciate the feedback :)

It was very relaxed and conversational. Just be honest, sound calm and confident, and know your application well. For me it was 2 faculty and it was open file.
 
Hey guys, I know I'm late this cycle. I just received the supplemental information today. I was actually driving up to Detroit tomorrow, and was wondering if they had a mailbox that I could just leave the supplemental materials in instead of mailing them in?
No you have to mail it in due to COVID-19, sadly.
