How did you prepare for the interview?

read up on US healthcare system, SDN feedback, MSU website, read over secondaries

What impressed you positively?

The people there are really friendly and the admissions staff was very warm and welcoming. Also, I really like the way they integrate traditional lectures and PBL curricula. Really nice Radiology building where to Student Lounge and study rooms are. Oh, and you can find out if you are accepted within a week!

What impressed you negatively?

Tour was a little haphazard...we were in a ruch because some interviews started earlier than usual. Also, on the tour didnt get to see the classrooms, library, or labs.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To get from the visitors parking lot to the Life Science Bldg, I couldve cut through the building that is between them instead of walking ALL the way around in the bitter cold!

What are your general comments?

Overall, I had a really good experience at MSU. It seems they have incorporated all the things that I have liked at each school I have visited. My faculty interviewer was awesome; he asked really great and interesting questions. In 35 minutes, I feel that I was able to really let him know who I am as compared to some hour-long interviews elsewhere where I felt I was spinning my wheels. Very low stress conversations with both the faculty and student interviewers.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
