What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

tour got long and hot, much walking. consider carrying water along. breakfast was continentalish--eat eggs and sausage before you arrive

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

student interview was much less pressure. 3 interviews means not so much weight on just one. school was scenic, lots of activity. weather was overcast and dreary, but at least not cold like it will get eventually. interviewees seemed sharp, all from top schools. michigan is one of the best public schools. hospital system was large, supposedly all interconnected too. good place overall, check it out, although i might prefer a smaller private institution, not sure yet.
