"None really. Was somewhat surprised to be asked about the single D on my transcript from like 4 years ago. But I was prepared for this possibility and was actually glad they asked since I was able to point out my success in statistics based classes since then." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Gleaned the top 75 questions from SDN feedback and though about answers for each. Reviewed interview thoughts from premed101.com forum. Perused the DMU website and posts on DMU in pre-osteo forum. Read The DOs by Gevitz. Read Doing Right by Herbert (med ethics). Skimmed some books on primary health care issues (eg. chronic care, current issues in health care delivery)." Report Response
"Friendliness of staff and students. Great experience staying with a current student. Stellar facilities. Great technological support. Entire program seems very responsive to students and their needs. I was pretty much blown away by the experience - it will be hard to beat." Report Response
"Zilch." Report Response
"Nothing really. While the interview was very casual, I think preparing for a more intense experience allowed me to really own the interview and know what I wanted to bring up. Being yourself and coming across as compassionate is key I think." Report Response
"I saw first hand why so many students walk away from their DMU experience with such a positive view of the school. The day was very well setup and they really made you feel welcome. For the interview, the first question was "Tell us a bit about yourself and how you come to be in front of us now." Very open-ended and up to you to provide a concise synopsis that sets you apart and that will lead into further discussion. A few questions arose from some of what I mentioned (they like to hear about things that aren't already in your file as well). This gave a very conversational feel to the experience. When there was a lull, one of the interviewers would bring up a question - all of these were ones that have been mentioned in previously posted feedback. It's worth giving some thought to these."
