How did you prepare for the interview?

read school website, got a good night's sleep.

What impressed you positively?

friendly students and overall enthusiasm. opportunities for study abroad. financial aid opps.

What impressed you negatively?

ann arbor. snow. lack of diversity in the area (not necessarily among med students though).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Ann Arbor is FAR from the detroit airport and taxi will cost you $55 one way. arrange for a shuttle ahead of time, because they're not easy to come around at the airport.

What are your general comments?

Starts early, and the group is big- 40 or so students. Breakfast and lunch are served, and students go in shifts- one group does their three interviews, boom boom boom, and the other group tours the computer labs and gets a financial aid seminar. After everyone finishes their interviews, the admissions committee leaves, and med students come and chill with applicants, answer questions, and take you on a tour. The day ends early, and is full but energizing, and people seem really happy and down to earth. They all say they're fed well by the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
