How did you prepare for the interview?

What impressed you positively?

Everything. This school has anything you need to excel in medical school and become a great physician.

What impressed you negatively?

The complex is all connected and really confusing to find your way around. However, once you're a student I'm sure it isn't that bad.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I talked to friends at UM and found out that the hospital, although connected to the parking garage, is a maze. They informed me to walk around outside to get to MSB1. I went with a friend the night before to scope it out... it was really helpful.

What are your general comments?

It was such a great day. I really enjoyed the chance to talk to so many prospective students... be warned that I think they observe how you interact with those there, as they are looking for how well you would fit into the community. The day was nice, with breaks right when you needed them. The interviewers were all nice and really relaxed (at least for me). Overall, a wonderful experience.
