Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students form a very close-knit, cohesive group. I think they really go out of their way to help one another. Also, the OMM teaching is really top-notch. If that is the main reason you want to become an Osteopath, this school is your school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Des Moines, but also the fact that most students have to leave Iowa and go all over the country for 3rd and 4th year training. There are also virtually no clinical facilities that students can go through in their first two years.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That most students leave during their third and fourth years. Also, the very cool fellowship they have in OMM.

What are your general comments?

Des Moines University is very small school overall. You interview w/about 10 other people, and start out the day by talking with an admissions officer and Dr. Mueller(a really nice guy!). Your interview is w/ a student and one-two faculty members. The interview is pretty straight foward. The students are very friendly, and will come up and talk to you during your breaks. The school is also building a new student center, which shows they are committed to the students. The school is lacking in clinical facilities and sites, which is why I ultimately turned down my acceptance.
