How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reading about osteopathy, should have learned more about MSUCOM.

What impressed you positively?

The student run manual medicine clinic, the emphasis on OMM all semesters and clinical experience in the first year. I didn't get to stay for the tour and lunch so I missed out on student comments and a look at the facilities.

What impressed you negatively?

The tuition cost for non residents!!!! Yikes!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That students from out of state cannot declare residency at any point.

What are your general comments?

The interviewer made me feel very comfortable yet did ask some challenging questions. Everyone was so laid back in the office and administrators came to chat with us while we waited. Seemed to be a very liberal environment.
