Report Response | I was asked this too

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.

Report Response | I was asked this too

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.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Des Moines is a very small city. Also, the setup for clinical rotations and electives seemed confusing.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview was going to be a group (interviewers) to one (interviewee) interview.

Report Response | I was asked this too

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.
