💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
They asked me questions from my application (describe your research, why go from engineering to medicine, are you ready for the challenges, etc.)
What was the most interesting question?
What aspect of medicine do you think you will like the least?
How did you prepare for the interview?
What everybody else does, reviewed this site. My essays. I wrote what I considered to be the 30 most common questions I would be asked on notecards and my answers on the back.
What was the most difficult question?
What do you know about medicine? What is an HMO? (I am a non-traditional student.)
What impressed you positively?
Everything about Michigan is wonderful. They make you feel like you will be a part of the medical school community and they will try their hardest to ensure you succeed there. The technology is also top notch.
What impressed you negatively?
Staff and faculty are effusive with their praise about U of M and it seems a little suspicious. It's almost as if they have a inferiority complex. If you know you are good, you don't need to repeat it every 5 minutes.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
You get PDA's during your third year, there is a scholary research paper requirement for fourth year students, and 799 out of 801 interviewers in 2005 got accepted to some medical school in the US.
