💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
If no medical school accepted you, what would you do?
How did you prepare for the interview?
UMich's website, SDN, talked to a friend who goes there.
What was the most difficult question?
You wrote that freedom of choice in terms of what branch of medicine (academic or practice) you could go into was a big factor in influencing your decision to go into medicine. Well what if a hospital hires you as a practicing physician and you want to do research but they make it hard for you?
What impressed you positively?
The students are SO friendly and it is extremely clear that they balance very strong academic skills with vibrant social lives (I went to a party with some M1s so I got to experience it first hand). Also, the interviewers and administrators make you feel very welcome. Ann Arbor is pretty awesome (I thought so coming from Charlottesville, VA) and the medical center is HUGE (looks like a fortress or something)!!
What impressed you negatively?
Didn't really get to see the sun while I was there (apparently it is gray there a lot). Also, not every student gets to perform all the anatomy dissections (not sure if this is the norm at other schools though).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I felt pretty prepared...I didn't know I would like it so much!
