What are your general comments?
Overall, DMU is a wonderful school. They place a lot of emphasis on producing primary care physicians. Very fast turn around time (9 days after interview received acceptance). Interview is not too stressful. Spend morning learning about the school, financial aid, and touring the facilities. Interview seems to be more conversational than a "grilling session."
