💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What do you do for fun?

What was the most interesting question?

What should society do about the homeless? (This was asked in continuation of my discussing my involvement at a homeless shelter)

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the umich website, SDN, AMCAS, and their medical school journal (available on the website).

Above.

What impressed you positively?

They knew all our names, and even during the break time, a faculty member came and talked to me about an orchestra for medical students (he knew i'm a violinist).

What impressed you negatively?

Ann Arbor is a good college city, but I think I prefer bigger urban environments. The access to a diverse population of patients is not as great (which I guess is almost a given for a suburb). Some students were a little hesitant in their answer when I asked how they liked Michigan so far (Although many also immediately answered "I love it here!").
