How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

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

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!").

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The interviews are pretty relaxed. The half an hour for each interview goes by really fast. I was pretty nervous for the first one, but the second and third ones I felt more relaxed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
