What are your general comments?
Overall, it was great. I am OOS, and feel like the cost is worth the education. The Dean and Director of Admissions were all straight forward--
After a short presenation/breakfast my group went to interview. I had three interviews, 30 minutes each. two were students and one was an MD. then we went back and had a presentation about the school's technology/computers.
Lunch after that-presentation about financial aid(which there is plenty of!), and then a tour, which included the anatomy labs and looking at cadavers. We were done around 2pm.

application, website, read current events, mock interviews, read public policy book.
What was the most difficult question?
Why Michigan if we dont have much of an underserved populations in Ann Arbor, and you want to work with these populations.
What impressed you positively?
Fantastic ''sales pitch''. Everything was well organized and on time. They gave us breakfast and lunch, and we had presentation about every aspect of the school. The night before we went out with current students and talk to them-they were great and all seemed happy. Flextime quizzes are a good deal, they video record every lecture, P/NP grades.

THe 3rd years said it was a little competative and people were a little cut throat in trying to impress attendings. THey didnt have any presentations specifically about dual degree programs.
