What impressed you positively?

I was seriously impressed with DMU. The interview day is structured well, and it's designed to be very low stress. Interviewees had ample opportunities to speak candidly with current students, and I really liked that transparency--it showed that DMU had nothing to hide.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My interview was very short compared to those of other interviewees. After the interview, I was pretty freaked out about that and was sure that I was not going to be accepted. However, I was ultimately accepted, so if your interview is short, know that it's not necessarily a bad thing and there's no reason to stress.
