No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read some articles, thought about my application, talked with U of M medical students

What impressed you positively?

The medical students are so excited about their school. All the ones I met (M1s and M2s) said that they were less stressed than they thought they would be, and that they liked how they could actually have a life outside of med school.

What impressed you negatively?

Though I only encountered a few of the students, it seems a little like the medical school version of a party school. Also, I sort of got the impression that the students felt a little arrogant about the fact that they go to ''The University of Michigan'', always toting the top rankings.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

It was a great experience. Very low key and enjoyable. I went out to dinner with some students the night before, and I would highly recommend that.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
