How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Created a 200+ page packet describing the U.S. healthcare system, and contemporary issues. Also, SDN of course lol.

What impressed you positively?

The clinical experience is simply unmatched. I came away extremely impressed. Also, the environment is supportive and not &quot;cut-throat.&quot; The research opportunities are plentiful.

What impressed you negatively?

Well the main educational building seems a little dated; also, you will have to study in parallel with the curriculum to do extremely well on Step 1. I think though, that the clinicals more then make up for it in matching.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That everyone was so nice! I was a bit nervous prior to the whole experience, but that was unnecessary.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I was extremely impressed. The pros are the outrageoous clinical experience, the research opportunities(they're making a state-of-the-art research building that is equipped with a gym + pool on the top most floor!)are plentiful - overall, really positive. U.M. quickly climbed up to become my first choice.
