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?

Reviewing question on SD! I had an answer prepared for every question I was asked because of this site.

What impressed you positively?

The campus, and the Pass/Fail curriculum to reduce competition among students, and the early patient interactions (beginning during the first months of school).

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that they use prosected cadavors for anatomy (pre-cut).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The strong focus on primary care.

What are your general comments?

I had a great interview experience. My first interview was with a medical student who was very nice, and very laid back. MSUCHM goes out of their way to make you feel relaxed before you interview. You have lunch with the med-students and go on a tour before you interview. My second interview was with a doctor, and he was very nice as well. However, he was a huge advocate of socialized medicine, which I wasn't really prepared for, since I have only heard bad things about it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
