I realize we talked about our fall travel last week, but it’s such a busy time of year for us, I thought we needed to mention it again. (Here’s our schedule if you want to see if we’re coming to your school!)

Last week I joined admissions coordinator Lisa Vroegh at the UNI Career Fair to see first-hand what these recruiting trips are all about.We talked to a variety of students from freshman who were still undecided about their majors to graduated seniors who were already applying to medical schools.

Here are some of the most commonly asked questions:

• What are the requirements for your ____ program? (insert Physical Therapy, Osteopathic Medicine, Physician Assistant, Podiatric Medicine, Health Care Administration, Public Health, Anatomy or Biomedical Science)
• When should I apply? (Each program has a slightly different schedule, so check the website for specific dates. Regardless of the program, the sooner you get your application in the better!)
• What kind of financial aid is available?
• Do you have campus visits?

If DMU is coming to your school for a career fair, campus visit, club meeting or class, I highly recommend you take the time to stop by and get to know our admissions staff. They are full of information about the programs and if they don’t have the answer, they will find someone who can help you. And we have some fun

If you have questions about any of our programs contact us!
