"What was the last book you read..what do you do for fun...What would you do if you failed your first test.." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Nothing extremely interesting or weird. Just the typical why Doctor (and also why not scientist or others), WhY DO/DMU..(id suggest figuring out a couple specific things you like that are unique to the school)." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"We interviewed a lot of people why/how should we remember you, you have the floor...& tell us two things that make you different from the other applicants that will contribute to the class in a positive way. I see you did research with insulin and caterpillars, do caterpillars get diabetes and how would you know (me--> ?:/" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"SDN, reviewed my app, printed off a millions questions everywhere that I could find of what can be asked at interviews and thought about them for a few minutes so that I at least had seen it once before if they happened to ask me that question. Prepared answers to the typical questions (why DO, DMU, Doctor), strengths/weaknesses) etc.." Report Response
"The interview was relaxed, eventhough I had 4 people interviewing me! I had 2 professors and 2 students. Very friendly! And no weird/bad questions. I like that it was open file, so they had the opportunity to question anything they were concerned about instead of assuming or wondering. (they didnt ask me anything about grades/MCAT)" Report Response
"Nothing!" Report Response
"How much more I'd like this school and Des Moines!" Report Response
"Des Moines is really nice. It's not huge but it doesn't feel extremely small. Nice city and beautiful parks, state buildings. Friendly people. Low cost of living, and decent tuition (+free laptop)...awesome electives and things to get involved in (clubs, mobile clinic, chronic illness course), free visits for students at DMU clinic. They don't test every Monday or Friday like some schools so you may have some time to relax (whoa), their schedule is staggered so you'll start with a couple of classes, then add on more, then a couple classes will end (haven't seen this anywhere else). All buildings connected underground=awesome. Plenty of study space, free huuge gym/basketball court, good cafeteria food..Campus not too big but still good size..220 class size.. (feel free to pm me if you have questions, I can try to answer :))" Report Response
