"SDN, Web site, school packet." Report Response
"Everything. The school was absolutely fantastic. The students were great, the lunch was great, Harvey was great, the tour was great, the OMM demonstation was great, and the facilities are top notch. Des Moines isn't as small as some may say. A larger city with a small town feel. Housing is reasonably cheap and the area is safe. This school WILL be a top prospect for many in the future with their new facilities and aggressive approach to medicine. Surgical lab was also fantastic. They want to train you as doctors, not just process you and get you out the door. Best of all, NO TRAFFIC!!" Report Response

"How nice the school really is." Report Response
"Overall, my experience was very surprising. I have many interviews and Des Moines was always on the calendar as just another interview and my knowledge of the school was very limited. However, after visiting the campus and seeing what it has to offer, it quickly jumped to the top of my list. They seem to be dedicated to the process of making great doctors, not just filling a slot. They gave a fantastic demonstration of OMM with the fellows as well as a one-on-one with “Harveyâ€Â, which was great. The facilities were top notch as compared to other campuses (7 others DO/MD) I had visited previously. The campus is completely wireless and they give you a great laptop. The students all seemed enthusiastic about their school and nobody seemed negative about it whatsoever. The interview itself was great. Despite what the previous two posts said, they were very interested in ME and wanted to know Me as a person and were not just going through the motions. Seriously people, this school is fantastic. I would highly recommend that you at least look into it. You will not be disappointed. Even better, I was accepted only 6 days after my interview. I am excited, because this is my top choice. Best of luck! " Report Response
