How did you prepare for the interview?
looked through the interview feedback, talked to some friends at the school, looked through the michigan website, took notes during the presentation about any programs that seemed particularly interesting to me, sat in a coffee shop the morning of for about an hour and just went through my resume and applications/secondaries
What impressed you positively?
everyone that i met at the school seemed sooo nice. i actually ran into someone who was a dental student on the street, the day before my interview. i simply asked her for directions for the dental school, and she walked me all the way there, and even showed me around in a mini-tour! many of the people there seem so happy, and the campus has awesome school spirit. great energy!
What impressed you negatively?
apparently, the curriculum can get very tedious.. also don't like that the surrounding area gets a bit dull.
What are your general comments?
michigan's mission to go mobile with apps and stuff is really cool. i hope other schools also implement that. overall, my interview day was pretty stress free! one thing that bothered me was that with the MMI, we were all sitting in a lab room(about 30 of us? plus 30 interviewers) and the talking would go from this awkward silence (at the beginning of the question) and then crescendo to this buzzing roar as applicants tried to make sure their answers were audible and came across to their interviewers.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
none. Patti is awesome!
