How did you prepare for the interview?

Read MSU's web site, and read this site as well.

What impressed you positively?

The school does have a strong osteopathic mission, and students really get a lot of clinical contact early. The admissions counselors who met with us at the interview were extremely nice and forthcoming.

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities are really run down. East Lansing is not my kind of town, especially coming from big city.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Out-of-state tuition is ridiculously high, but extremely reasonable if you are in-state.

What are your general comments?

MSUCOM is a very good school, if you are in-state. You only have one interview, w/ a faculty member, and it runs about 45 minutes. There are ~three people interviewing a day, so you do have a lot of attention on you. The tour is pretty quick, and half the rooms are locked so you can't even see them! I think this school is really geared towards Michigan residents. I ended up being accepted out-of-state, and the admissions counselor who called me to tell me I got in said, "I realize there is little chance that you are coming here since you are from out-of-state."

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
