"Need a admission presentation with tuition cost, scholarships, clinical sites for 3&4th years. Financial aid. It was very unhelpful to watch a video of the Detroit children's choir. It was very unorganized. A lot of waiting. Very limited campus tour of just a few rooms in medical school, library. I would have liked to see more. Did not feel like I learned anything about the program that would make me want to move OOS to attend."

"To be more prepared, there was a lot of things that went wrong but the first person I met from the school made a comment how "early" I was and proceeded to disappear to find more folders since she only had 2. It of course, is not a big deal. But it makes interviewers feel like we spent so much time and effort to be there and we are excited and then there's not a lot of effort by the school and you cant help but think they really don't care."

"This was my most positive interview experience yet. The questions asked were difficult, but my interviewer was exteremely pleasant and I felt very confident about my answers. My interviewer really wanted to get a sense of who I am as a person, and that made me want to come to Wayne State. The most interesting question I was asked is if I could choose 5 people to sit in front of the Admissions committee at WSU and describe me using 5 adjectives, who would I choose and what adjectives would they use and why?"
