What impressed you positively?

"Nice facilities" Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Seriously, the interviewers in Portland were horrible. They showed me why there is still a stigmatism against D.O.'s when they drilled me on why I was applying MD. Because I wanted to get accepted somewhere, leave me alone. You can't make a choice by just reading and shadowing, you have to go and feel if the school is right for you." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That they were arrogant D.O. Nazi's. I had already been accepted to 5 other D.O. schools (everywhere I applied) and I gave them the same answer if they asked about applying both ways. They all seemed to say that I had a good reason, but DMU didn't seem to like it. I could have saved the money and turned down their interview. Definitely not anywhere near the top of my list now. Almost gave me a bad enough taste to take the MD acceptance and forget the whole DO thing." Report Response

"If you want in, you better not say anything about MD schools and you better be willing to sacrifice your family for the sake of passing biochem. Families are not important anyways, right. " Report Response
