SDN website, UMich website (read up on what kind of research they are interested in by looking at recent research grants they received, research departments and centers that are opening, and other such trends), looking over my secondary app. to UMich and my AMCAS app.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The location of the admissions office (it's immediately in front of you as you enter the building); the admissions staff (they escort you from the second you enter the building and through out the day so you don't have to worry about getting lost); the friendliness of the interviewers (they were very conversational and easy to befriend)

Report Response | I was asked this too

nothing

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

It was very friendly. In addition to friendly admissions staff, the interviewers were very amiable. I had 3 back-to-back 30 minute interviews. All the interviewers were easy to connect with, but the back-to-back format left my second interviewer a bit unprepared (he had an interview right before mine) and he spent some time trying to remember my AMCAS app.
