The experience was amazing. This was my first interview so I was very nervous, however, the staff, students, and faculty made me feel very at ease. A great first interview to have. Becky and Genya at admissions are fantastic, just wonderful. And the PhD and student-doctor who interviewed me were so nice and made me feel very at ease, I cannot say enough about the quality of faculty and students at DMU.
