I'm not from MI, but I go to MSU! Love the place, minus the cold.
I'd try somehow to get some varied experience - From my experience, loads of hours at a SA hospital with a few hours at a zoo and general LA experience just weren't enough to make OSU happy (i'm not bitter...). Maybe try shadowing at first, until you get some experience then maybe you could get just as nice of a job somewhere else?
I still refuse to give up my amazing job at the SA hospital I work at - I have guaranteed hours whenever I come home from school for breaks and really supportive bosses - I'm just going to have to find a way to get varied experience while keeping my job.
