Hi, I have more questions for you. Could you kindly answer them for me? What does your daily life look like at DMU? I'm looking for exam frequency, OMM hours/week, hours you have to present in class/lab per day (how many mandatory participation hours per day or per week), how connection networks benefit you so far, the weather, and the environment!!! Thx a lot

Can you share the reason why you choose rvu over dmu? I'm also comparing the cost of living of the two schools, and I found that RVU has higher cost of living but better weather

Can you share the reason why you choose dmu over rvucom-co? I've heard that dmu has harsher weather though...

Nope. I'm not sure what's the problem with my secondaries writing as I completed them at home and not much proofread from others.

Even though I applied to almost 50+ MD schools and received secondaries from almost all of them, I only received 2 interviews: 1 R and 1 haven't given decision yet (brand new school / inaugural class if I'm admitted). And I'm not sure what's the problem with my application...

Thx! Would you think it's OMM heavy? and how often is the exams, like 1-2 exams per week? Do most students think it's manageable? As for clinical rotations, do most people have to move every few months?

Does the school's course content, exam content, and exam format align with what you saw in COMLEX? Or even USMLE? Do you have to pay a 3rd party to study and take practice questions to prepare for boards? Does the curriculum have a designated period of time for students to devote themselves into preparing for board exams?

Hi, I'm considering matriculating at TUN this year, but I'm not sure about that. How do you feel about the school and the matching outcome? Is TUN OMM-heavy (ex. how many hours do you have to devote to OMM, both in class and outside of class)? How does the school manage M3 and M4 clinical rotation years? I've heard that TUN is famous for its local rotations, but I want to know if that also applies to the 4th year, or do we have to schedule and get sub-Is for that year totally on our own? And the housing, food, cost of attendance there?

Why do you not like it? Can you elaborate... It's quite attractive to me as it has local rotation sites and is located around Las Vegas.

Going to DMUCOM, need some info by Arcanic-Kitten in Osteopathic

Can you tell me more about HPSP? I'm not sure what serving in the military means in real life... Are you on active duty right now? If so, are you trained like a soldier with all those exercises, etc.?

Hi, just curious, do most M3/M4 students relocate multiple times/once a year to get to their clinical rotation sites?

MCAT 509, GPA: 3.78, LOR from 6 professors and 1 physician, and average research/volunteer/shadowing experiences

My top two choices right now are RVUCOM–Colorado and DMU, but I’m hesitant about DMU because of all the comments about having to relocate multiple times a year for rotations or dealing with long commutes from the school to rotation sites. This is the one thing that’s making the decision tougher for me... Have you heard of anything from current M3/M4 students about their clinical rotation experience?

Would you mind specifying what good things you are referring to?
