How did you prepare for the interview?

Read DMU website, SDN feedback, reviewed important medical issues

What impressed you positively?

The friendly atmosphere and the fact that every student I had contact with (not just those scheduled by the school to meet with us)loved the school. It was very common for students to just stop by and start a conversation with any of the interviewees. I was also impressed by everyone's enthusiasm for the OMM program. The Standardized Performance Assessment Labs were impressive as well.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How hard everyone at the school worked at making the interview experience as stress free as possible.

What are your general comments?

I visited DMU expecting to have a pleasant experience and I was not disappointed. The student comaradarie is exceptional and the entire staff of the school goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. Most of the facilities are new and well kept and the only old building on campus is going to be replaced shortly with a new one that is scheduled to start construction any time. Des Moines is a great place to get your medical education because there is enough to do to keep from getting bored, but not so much to cause distraction.
