⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
I really though MSUCOM was a great school, but I don't think any school is worth $62,000 a year; especially when they're raising tuition 10% next year. The people were very nice and the campus was great.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
How did you learn about Michigan State?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Studentdoctor, went over my secondary, AACOMAS, MSUCOM website
What was the most difficult question?
What do you expect to be the biggest transition for you from undergraduate work to medical school? (this question isn't necessarily difficult, it's just that you ASSUME the interview would understand that the coursework is tedious and the level of anxiety is high)
What impressed you positively?
The interview was very conversational. He genuinely wanted to know more about me and he was familiar with the area that I am from in Illinois. The campus is gorgeous; it is THE college town.
What impressed you negatively?
The cost; out of state students should expect to pay about $62,000 a year. Also, the student who took us on the tour didn't show us much and she certainly didn't sell the school.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The REAL cost. I knew it was expensive, but I thought they were including a whole year's tuition. It turns out they were leaving out summer tuition. The school is year-round.
