"I reread my application & read the mission statement of the school. PS. Know your current health care events. It's a good thing I watched the news the night before the interview. My interviewer asked me about my opinion of the Terri Schiavo case" Report Response

"I arrived in Lansing a day early to get to know the area a little better and meet students. That was a good idea because a lot of students left for a big conference on the day of the interview. The first thing I noticed about the students was that they were very friendly and seemed very close-knit. The administration also cares a lot about the students. They go to great measures to make them feel comfortable by providing resources in abundance. The school is also well equipped. One of the school's founding father is, I believe, the inventor of the CT Scan and MRI imaging machines (though I'm not exactly sure). As a result, the school’s imaging equipment is top of the line. Though the school is not a wireless campus, there are ethernet outlets everywhere. The school is a community based school so clinical skills are strongly emphasized. Students are given opportunities to shadow doctors, work in community clinics – even travel around the world. All of this is financially supported by the school (if you ask). One thing I noticed about this school is that it is not highly ranked. Despite a board score average congruent with national averages (214 last year), a high passing rate (97% of the students “passed†USMLE with 165 or greater), and great matching rates, the school has low research and endowment funding and does not have a major hospital which lowers its national rank. Nevertheless, opportunities to do research and access to major hospitals abound – all you have to do is ask. As for my interview that was cool. My first interviewer was a student. He asked me basic questions but he was much more interested in talking about my experiences. My second interview was with an old school physician. She was very warm and made the interview very comfortable. Both interviews were excellent. I hope I get into this school, it was a pleasure to visit and I think it’ll be a good fit for me.
