✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, personal statement and secondary essays, and a Global REACH brochure.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were incredible, but not as incredible as the curriculum. I'm a procrastinator, so I think the weekly quizzes with the flex time would really work well for me (and anyone else with a similar problem). The students were all really cool and the learning environment wasn't competitive at all.

What impressed you negatively?

It was already pretty cold on the day of my interview (in September!), and it was especially cold the night before my interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The students are really cool and laid back. I wish I would have scheduled more time to stay in Ann Arbor to hang out with the students.

What are your general comments?

I was surprised by how relaxed my interviews were. The faculty I talked to made jokes and were genuinely interested in finding out more about me as a person. The interview day is packed with information and was the best structured out of all my interviews thus far.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
