What impressed you positively?

"The Dean himself came and talked to us and answered questions for nearly an hour. The facilities are excellent. The school seems to provide truly excellent support/advising for its students. The admissions staff were thoughtful, knew who we were, and were very helpful. Housing is very cheap. Faculty are truly interested in teaching and helping students succeed." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Morning presentations went way over time and people repeated what others had said; they ended up cancelling a couple of presentations that would have been more useful. Would have been good to have more time with students without staff/faculty present. Class is very large. 3rd-year rotations are all over the place." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"How good the school is; knew that their OMM program had a good reputation, but it seems that they are working hard to make the whole school that good. They have a lot of financial aid available." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Generally excellent. The group was only about 12 applicants; nice personal atmosphere, relaxed, pleasant. The only place I've interviewed where I felt they had really read my file, knew who I was, and wanted me to go to their school (instead of making me feel lucky to even get an interview). If I get in, DMU will probably be my first choice (over MD schools)." Report Response
