✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at the feedback on here and prepared answers for all the questions I found. They will ask you all the questions that people have posted here.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are really top notch. I think all med schools will be modelled on DCOM in the future. Everyone was very friendly, but still professional. The faculty seem very renowned.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really negatively impressed me. My only concern is that its a new school without an alumni network, and that the rotations haven't really been tested out yet.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it really is in the middle of nowhere. That's fine with me, but for those of you who love city life I don't think this is the school for you.

What are your general comments?

It really was an enjoyable day. You have nothing to be nervous about at all. Everyone is very friendly. I stayed at the holiday inn express, and the school sent a shuttle to pick up all the intervewees staying there, they also dropped us back off after the interview. The day starts out with an admissions presentation, then you learn about the cirriculum, rotations and financial aid. You then go in for your interview, have a building and grounds tour, eat lunch and go home. It was very laid back.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It would be nice to tour one of the hospitals that you offer rotations at.
