What are your general comments?
UMich is a great school with great people, though some applicants were stuck up, others were really nice. The interviewers thoroughly look over your application beforehand. It seems like everyone wants the already great med school to get better. They are highly regarded by residency directors, but the number of hospital beds at Ann Arbor doesn't compare to, say, Miami. Overall, everything was great, the food (better than usual, at least), the people, the facilities, and the town. But the email they send you right before the interview is kinda intimidating: it's all about what not to do on the interview day.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Is Ann Arbor a good example of the real world?
How did you prepare for the interview?
I didn't
What was the most difficult question?
Which instrument is harder to play, the oboe or bassoon? (I've never played the oboe)
What impressed you positively?
The students seem very relaxed. UMich has a great rep. The administration listens to students. And you can take quizzes/exams anytime over the weekend, although this is only for first years for now.
What impressed you negatively?
The walls are cinder blocks painted white. It's what you would see in a prison. And they took back the name tags.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The walking distance to the admissions office is longer than what they tell you.
