✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read interview feedback, looked over the school's website, thought up the best way to answer the "why do you want to come here" question.

What impressed you positively?

How much everyone (staff, students) love the school. The mini-electives you can take. The flexibility of the program.

What impressed you negatively?

Many different campuses (I don't want to move again!). Less clinical experience built into the program during the first 2 years than I would like.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would have to walk to my interview. It wasn't far, but it was cold! I also wished I had known more about the Rural Health programs.

What are your general comments?

You have two interviews- one with faculty, and one with a med student. Each has 3 standard questions that they ask you (6 total), that I think they ask everyone. <p> I stayed at the Quality Inn University. It looks a little shady when you drive up, but it's pretty nice inside, they have a pool, and it's just down the road from MSU. Just ask for a room that's far from the pool!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It would be great if we could complete all the paperwork online, and possibly even submit our photo
