How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the MSUCOM, osteohome.com, and AACOM websites; talked with my student hosts the night before.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students are really great and love the school. Also, the faculty appear to be pretty engaged in the students. They also have a great student-run course notes service that seems to be really helpful.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The administrative staff were not as friendly as I would expect, but it was really not a big deal. The building is a bit outdated adn definitly has the feel of a converted dorm. The out-of-state tuition is scary, but I knew that before going to the interview.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, but for those who don't already know, there are two things that are important to know about MSUCOM: 1)They don't do disection in anatomy at MSUCOM - the faculty disects the cadavers beforehand. 2)Everybody goes out to one of their SCS hospitals for most of their clerkships. There is a map on the MSUCOM website.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Interview was great/friendly, school is great. It's a bit spendy, but I could definitly see myself there.
