How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, other interviews.

What impressed you positively?

Some of the students giving the tour were very polite. They ate with us, answered questions and made good conversation.

What impressed you negatively?

The dental school. I can only guess that they are so over-rated because of the research opportunities. I was told that my chances of getting accpeted as a white male were laughable.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is no (free)parking. All of the students must walk or use public tranportation, as opposed to other schools where professional students get total parking privileges.

What are your general comments?

As expected for U of M, they spent the entire 5 hours bragging about themselves. Their facilities were ancient. My high school science labs were bigger, better, and more up to date than theirs. The personal interview was more like a conversation in a bar, as most other reviews warned me. In comparison to the other schools where I interviewed, U of M definately had the oldest of everything. Not to be so negative, but that's exactly how it was.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
