What impressed you positively?
friendly people!! the admissions staff was really entertaining, nice, and helpful. LPCE, studying abroad opportunities
What impressed you negatively?
no gym (only on main msu campus, and you have to pay for it), no library on med school campus, sharing first year classes with DO students (the classes aren't even on the med school campus), having to decide which community campus you want to go to right after you get accepted, medical school is isolated
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
the red roof inn is in the SE of e.lansing...there is nothing in the SE of the town except for the hotel. also, michigan flyer's schedule is not flexible at all and they will not wait for you. i wouldn't have used the detroit airport.
What are your general comments?
the interview day is really relaxed...the admissions staff does a really great job of making you feel welcome and at ease. also, the interviewers are really friendly and laid back. they ask the required questions (what you see on SDN) so it really shouldn't be that stressful.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
None. The interview day was very well organized and informative. The admissions staff was pretty ent
Success!
