What are your general comments?
Overall, DMU is a great school, filled with friendly and supportive people. (^_^)Make sure that you read all SDN interview feedbacks for DMU. Many of the questions that I was asked were already posted by numerous people on this websites. The interview, itself, was a little stressful for me since I felt that was asked a lot of questions (~20) in a very small period of time.
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
looked over SDN interview feedbacks, checked out DMU website, brushed up on medical ethics and current medical issues, talked with current students before the interview
What was the most difficult question?
Is there anything you wish we had asked that we didn't? NOTE: This was the last thing the interviewers had asked me and, at the time, I thought that they had pretty much covered everything. In retrospect, there were questions I did wish that they had asked, but I was super tired by the end of the interview.
What impressed you positively?
The school seemed to be very technology-oriented. In particular, I was really impressed with the standardized performance assessment labs (SPAL) and Harvey demonstration. It seems that they really stress clinical skills and that's really great. I really enjoyed the OMM fellows' demonstration as well. Also, everyone there is extremely friendly and very proud of DMU. The atmosphere is very laid back.
What impressed you negatively?
Des Moines is a very small city. Also, the setup for clinical rotations and electives seemed confusing.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the interview was going to be a group (interviewers) to one (interviewee) interview.
