"I don't know if I was impressed- I was more surprised. Everyone at the school is super nice. The students are practically running around and hugging each other (no joke). The admissions staff introduced themselves and chatted with me while I waited for my interview (I had an afternoon interview- after the lunch and tour). MSUCOM is definitely a close-knit school. The atmosphere felt a little bit too much like high school though...... Also, MSUCOM is ranked #4 in primary care by US news." Report Response
"We only got a tour of one building, which is okay... except the students giving the tour told us half of our classes will be in the mystery building (ten minutes away) they didn't show us. If I do end up going to MSU, I'll have to find that building. Also, doesn't MSU have a medical library? I would think so! I don't know... they showed us a room in Fee Hall and called it the 'library.' One of the students giving the tour said she usually studies in the Law library. I simply was not impressed with the campus. " Report Response
"1. The cadavers are already pre-cut. Students just examine them. Apparently this is beneficial because the students will be spending less time in Gross Anatomy lab... they told us to trust them that this was a goog thing. I don't think I will learn any less by simply examining and not dissecting- I just feel I'm missing out on an important med school experience. 2. I learned this 2 weeks after the interview day: MSUCOM has filled up most of their class in December. Currently students are just being interviewed for the alternate list... as new applicants are added to the waitlist, your rank can and does change. The remaining seats will eventually be filled by people on the alterante list. " Report Response
"Easy, easy, easy. The day was stress free. The admissions staff truly is really nice. Nothing to worry about at all. Had a tour, lunch, interview... in that order. My interview only lasted about thirty minutes and not the hour I expected (this is normal according to the admission's office). I got interviewed by a pHD so he didn't ask me any questions about why medicine, why DO, or what do you think about healthcare. He asked me straight forward questions like did you do research or do have teaching experience. He wrote down notes from my responses and at the end of the interview, he told me he had more than enough info to represent me to the committee. This is why I think the interview was shorter than usual. My interviewer was so nice- he was casually dressed (sweats and sneakers)... this put me at ease. Also, I could be wrong about this since I can't remember who told me... but I heard the interviewer does not have your academic record (so no questions regarding your mcat score or grade in certain class). But the interviewer does have your secondary application, personal statement, etc." Report Response
