How did you prepare for the interview?

I downloaded their M1/M2 guide to survival--"Code Blue"--off of the webpage. It has everything about the school in it. Reviewed my AMCAS application and secondary materials.

What impressed you positively?

Just how much of an effort is put into making you feel like they are recruiting you personally, the enthusiasm of the students, the desire to excel among the faculty and administrators, the fact that they are 3rd on the Residency Directors Preference List, the flexibility of the schedule, the use of technology

What impressed you negatively?

It would be nice to have a map of the school and campus during the day and especially during the tour-I felt lost the entire time.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The med students have an great lounge where they can hang out, play some foosball, eat, study together, and just relax.

What are your general comments?

Overall the entire experience was fantastic. I loved the area and the school. I don't think my interviews could have gone any better-from the get go I felt that all they wanted to do is to get to know me better. UMich is definitely one of my top choices.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
