The MMI format makes me incredibly nervous.
I think I submitted the first week in Oct.
Nope, you don't have to answer everything. Just the top 2 I believe. As for format, they said that it doesn't really matter. The Getting to Know You page is more to build a book for your potential class so fellow classmates can learn a little about each other. Makes it easier to find other that have similar interests like equine or exotics.
Don't stress about it too much. I know that difficult to do, but it really comes down to being yourself during the MMI and staying positive. They know that you're going to be nervous and I'm sure that's taken into account, so as long as your not flipping tables or anything, you should be fine. There's several videos and articles out there to help give you an idea of what to expect and ways you can prepare. The biggest thing I've heard people say helped was just to work on your communication. Think about what you're going to say, have eye contact, and present yourself with confidence.The MMI format makes me incredibly nervous.
I believe so since it's MMI.
Me too! Good luck
Yep, that sounds about right. Also to add to Felix's comment: remember that this year they did the file review first before sending the invites (per http://cvm.msu.edu/future-students/dvm) so the number of interviews will most likely be smaller. They've also changed how how the day(s) work, so the tours are the night before the actual MMI.
Yeah, I'm guessing that the supplemental most likely filters out some (whoever doesn't finish it maybe?), then the file review does whatever it does to filter, rank, whatever before invites are sent out. Since last year was their first year doing the MMI's I'm sure they have something in place now to make things easier all around and more enjoyable (as much as interviews can be
)
Hmm I would think their name would be fine, but making a list wouldn't hurt. Something like
I submitted my supplemental on 10/27 and received an invite this morn. Hope that helps!

No you can speak however much you want. If you get stuck on words just take a break and laugh it out if you need to, they understand. Better to take a few moments and collect yourself than rush and say something you don't mean to. I spoke anywhere from 3 minutes to running out of time at some of the stations, all depends on how much I wanted to say. They'll usually just take the extra time to write down your answers and such.
So, if our answer only takes 3 minutes, do they respond back? What do we do with the rest of the time?
I would say either metro airport or there is one located here in Lansing too
You can fly into Lansing. You'll probably have a connecting flight into Detroit since Lansing's airport is super small. Your other option, which is probably cheaper, is to fly into Detroit. They have a bus that takes students from the Detroit airport into East Lansing. As far as areas to stay, check out hotels in East Lansing or Okemos. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thank you Félix!! That eases my mind.
Hi everyone, was away from my PC most of the weekend, so I'll try to answer what I know and catch up. From what I was told, the Meet and Greet does NOT affect your chances (unless you start flipping tables or something). It's more of a way to get to know everyone, take tours, and meet with some of the faculty, staff, and students. Plus, it breaks things up so the next day you only have to worry about MMI's.
woohoo, finally got the supplemental!!! oh, look at that, everyone else is already signed up for an interview...
When I checked, there were 41-42 slots per time frame.
I don't think so, they won't make any decisions until all interviews are done anyways
How many time frames are there each day?
