What impressed you positively?

my interviewer was one of the best. he was so nice and friendly. he was an MD, who made me feel at ease and seemed like a wonderful professor and mentor to have at MSUCOM

What impressed you negatively?

the facilities were not so great; the school is HUGE; not everybody at the admissions office was friendly, especially one person who was really, really rude and almost made me cry

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how hard the school really is, students said there were exams every two to three days and that it was hard to fly back home to visit family because you always had to study for an exam or quiz; it's an all-year round school, so no summer breaks =(

What are your general comments?

i LOVED my interviewer. he was really nice and humble. even though he asked me a lot of tough questions, he asked it in such a way that i didn't feel intimidated or nervous. my interview could have went on longer than an hour and a half, but i was the last interviewee for the day, and i wanted to go already

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
