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.

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.
