What was the most interesting question?

Nothing unusual. In fact, my student interviewer was pretty boring. At least three times he said "So I see you did XYZ... Tell me about that." Come on, read my file ahead of time and come up with an actual question!

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

This feedback site. MSU-CHM website. Previous interviews. Read over AMCAS and my essays.

What impressed you positively?

My faculty interview was pretty cool and highlighed many strengths of the school and E. Lansing.

What impressed you negatively?

No tour. I know the hospitals aren't right there, but the 1st and 2nd year facilities are. Let us see them!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. But I did find it interesting that while the MD and DO students take the same basic science classes 1st year, the MD's need 75% to pass while the DO's need only 70%. Yes - there did seem to be a bit of (friendly) rivalry between the two schools! ;-)

What are your general comments?

Very relaxed and friendly. Great faculty interview, uninspired student interview. Some students seemed very happy to be there. Others were a little indifferent.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
