What are your general comments?
U of M is a fantastic school. I am enamored with everything about it except a little bit about the location. Almost all if not all of its graduate programs are in the top 10, in case you want to pursue studies outside of medicine-- and a top public health school. It's ranked top 5 by residency directors. There are tons of global research opps. The city during games days is electric. And to top it off, they try to make your interview day relaxed and calm.
