What are your general comments?
Overall, a great experience. The students struck me as intelligent, warm, and friendly, and my interviwer was great. I got accepted to a top 10 school and two more top 30's, though I'm 95% sure I'm going here next year. I'm convinced this place will rank up there with them in a few years.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Teach something non-medical in 5 minutes.
What was the most interesting question?
I was asked to teach something nonscientific in five minutes. Hard to explain, but it was actually kinda fun.
How did you prepare for the interview?
I prepared lists of questions that I'd expect to be asked and came up with answers to them. Also read SDN and other websites.
What impressed you positively?
1. What's going on here with regards to research and recruiting is incredible. I'm convinced UM's ranking is going to skyrocket in a couple years. Spoke with a number of students who were actively involved in research projects.
2. The clinical training seems to be unbeatable. One 4th year student remarked that the residency program director at his first choice essentially told him they'd be ranking him highly because of UM's clinical reputation.
3. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the students seemed very warm and friendly. I really feel like I'd fit in here.
4. USMLE Step 2 scores appear to be through the roof.
5. Miami. Enough said.
What impressed you negatively?
The traffic was kinda lousy.
