"First interviewer (M2 student): 1) How will you handle the stress of being a medical student/ resident? 2)Tell me about a clinical ethical problem, and how you would/ did handle it. 3) Tell me about XYZ (AMCA's activities; he asked me about my research and leadership positions)." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Second interviewer (Surgeon, MD): 1) Tell me about yourself. 2) Tell me about a conflict you've had with someone, and how you handled it. 3) Why medicine? 4) Where do you see yourself in 15 years? 5) Who is a role model of yours and why? 6) Tell me XYZ (AMCA's activities; he asked me about my medical mission)." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Who is a role model of yours and why?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"None... " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"SDN!!!! SDN had every single question besides one (How will you handle the stress of being a medical student/ resident?)... Also, make sure you read your AMCAs activities, secondary essays, and PS (the surgeon asked me about a specific story that could only be found in my PS)." Report Response
"The interviewers seemed to be interested in getting to know me as a student, future physician, and person overall. It also seemed like they were genuinely interested in me/ the interview (they definitely read my application/ materials beforehand). The camaraderie of the students seems genuine and they all seem to get along (a huge plus is that the med students seem extremely happy). Also, everyone at the school was extremely nice (opening doors, randomly just yelling "good luck" from down the hall, stopping and asking how you like the school so far)." Report Response
"The tour guide definitely shows you the med school campus (regardless of what the other past feedback says... also, MSU may have changed it up this year, because they showed us all three building where we will be taking classes). However, I would have like to see more of the actual MSU campus. Also, the $360,000 OOS debt after four years isn't too attractive." Report Response
"Nothing really?" Report Response
"Interviews are semi-open/semi-closed file... They have access to everything but your grades and MCAT score (AMCAS activities, personal secondaries, major, degrees, institution). Also, stay with a student host (if you don't mind sleeping on a couch/ air mattress, or the awkwardness of using a total stranger's bathroom). I stayed with a student host (two M1 roommates), and it was great. They actually had three of their classmates come over, and after meeting 5 of the students in a non-academic setting, I definitely feel like I have a good understanding of what their student body is like. Overall, great school, and I truly would be happy to attend here!" Report Response
