Read up on the School, OMM, talked to people I know who had an intervidew there, SDN.

The people, the people, the people. They were all nice and friendly. The city is bigger then I thought it would be and seems like it's not boring. The technology at the school, the faculty and pretty much everything else.

What impressed you negatively?

The old buildings. But they are being torn down now.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the school was going to be in a building boom for the next two years.

What are your general comments?

I had an awsome interview experince. That school went from being next to the bottom on my list to the top. I decided to attend DMU over 4 other schools. The interview was great. I was intervied by the now Dean and 2 other surgey residents and 1 MS4 going into surgery. This suited me perfectly as I want to go into surgery, we got along great. The interview was conversational and relaxed.
