How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this website, looked at DMU website, read up on osteopathic medicine. Spoke with many students, and stayed with a current student the night before.

What impressed you positively?

Very mellow campus. Friendly atmosphere.

What impressed you negatively?

Not much. Old buildings were being torn down, so that's good. The cafeteria was pretty lame, I think it was a make-shift cafeteria though so hopefully that will be moved.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not much, I think I was well prepared. People told me what was going to happen that day, and indeed everything was right.

What are your general comments?

DMU seems like a great place to study. You feel very comfortable there because everyone is friendly and that implies that everyone likes to help each other. I cannot begin to tell you how many students came up to us just to say hi and to let us know how good the school is.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
