Summary of Experience:
Withdrew after my WVSOM acceptance. I think I would rather go to WVSOM than DMUCOM just based on location alone. I did like the school though and wish I could go see it in person but these interviews are getting expensive and I have two more lined up at the end of the month.
Summary of Experience:
This school is nothing short of AMAZING. By far my top choice! Was so impressed with every aspect of my day here, including the most enjoyable interview experience I have had so far. Will attend without reservation if accepted!
Summary of Experience:
Amazing school in an amazing location. A bit far from home, which could be a blessing in disguise in some ways. Really amazing program with great early clinical experience, especially with those from other professions in healthcare.
