paperson170 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Does anyone know the class size at UDM? Having a hard time finding it on their websiteIām pretty sure they accept 55 incoming students each year! 15 come from the 5 year track :) So it totals to 70 but thereās a 2 and 3 year trackSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E0119 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Hi everyone! I am so excited to be applying this cycle! I am finishing up three classes currently and I am worried that I only have about four weeks to get my final gradesĀ and have caspa verify all of the information once I submit my application. Anyone else experiencing this anxiety about the January 15th deadline approaching so fast after this semesterāsĀ transcripts are ready? I just hope my application gets to UDM on time. Any words of advice or support appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billstay22 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Does anyone happen to know a general time frame on when they usually send out interview invitations? Their cycle is so much later than the rest of myĀ applicationsĀ so Iām not sure what to expect! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They upped the total number of spots in 5 year to 25 in 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can'tĀ give detailed information on the interview. I can tell you that it is pretty relaxed! My interview was aĀ panel interview that lastedĀ about 30 minutes. I feltĀ comfortable, and I also got to speak with some PA students before my interview. Make sure you're able to answer the basic PA school interview questions like why PA, why this school, etc. Make sure to also look up the program's mission statement Ā don't try to memorize your exact answers because the faculty can tell and it won't sound genuine. Just have a good idea about how you will answer each question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having only 2-3 classes a semester really allows you to absorb the information. I currently work 3 to 5Ā days a week, and I will be going contingent during my second year.Ā The 2-year students have a full scheduleĀ andĀ studyĀ every day. They have 5-6 classes a semester 4-5 days a week. They still have time to do other things like go out with friends, but it's not as easy for them to take a day off from studying. If you don't mind taking an extra year, I would recommend the 3-year. I responded in a previous commentĀ on the interview! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey PotatoLife,Ā If you donāt mind me asking, why are you choosing to go contingent your 2nd year? Looking at their curriculum for the 3 year, I do see that 2nd year is probably more challenging. Have you heard working full time and doing 2nd year is too much?Ā Iām really hoping for the 3 year program thatās why Iām asking.

Thank you The faculty recommendsĀ we go contingent our second year or don't work at all. This is because we're in class approximately 13 hours a week, 3 to 4 days a week, and the course load is much heavier than the first year. Most students prefer the 2-year program, so you shouldn't have a problem getting the 3-year lolĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
