What impressed you positively?

"The weather seems nice, the trip was easy. Also the food was good (they had a salad bar, etc)." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The students I talked to didn't seem very academically serious. I was a bit suprised by this because of all the good stuff the pre-osteos say on SDN. It seemed like everyone (even the faculty) I talked to had an inferiority complex. This is the first DO school I interviewed at, so maybe this is a DO thing in general and not specific to DMU. The students called MDs "Manipulation Deprived" and they all said they got into the University of Iowa but decided on DMU (despite the tens of thousands in extra tuition). I just had a hard time of taking these students seriously. I thought that all I wanted in a school was somewhere where I could become a doctor. Today, I decided that I also want to go to a school with students and faculty who are happy to be at their school and don't have a chip on their shoulder." Report Response
