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?

Researched MSUCOM links, read up on osteopathic medicine, reviewed my application, prayed.

What impressed you positively?

The admissions staff was so kind and encouraging. The interviewer was also incredibly nice. I appreciated the length of the interview because it allowed enough time for me to calm down and feel more laid back by the end.

What impressed you negatively?

Waiting around for long periods of time.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There would only be 3 interviewees this morning (not a big deal, but I had been wondering), each interviewed by a different person.

What are your general comments?

The interviewers do not have your academic record, so it's all about getting to know you and see what you're about. The interviewer I had was wonderful and we got to talk about different topics (like music lessons and Korea) at different points in the interview, which was super nice (not a constant focus on why-do-you-want-to-be-here, very directed, questions).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
