What are your general comments?

The mood was much like the med student that Dr. Hinkley spoke with right before interviewing me: funny, laid back and conversational. Dr. Hinkley seemed very interested in what I had to say and did not ask difficult questions. The interview was rather short pressumably because the interview was for the 7 yr Medical Scholars Program. I was well prepared for the interview, made good eye contact and never stopped talking. I would defintely reccomend preparing for the interview by going over as many hypothetical questions as possible. Overall, the interview was a wonderful experience, stress free and the UM facilities and the quality of their students really impressed me.
