If you want to do research, this is a great school. My interviewer and the admissions staff were very warm and helpful. The interview was nothing to worry about
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
When did you fly in to Michigan? (The first questions were casual)
What was the most interesting question?
How does the UC system's application process work?
How did you prepare for the interview?
U of M's website, the CD U of M sent, and SDN
What was the most difficult question?
(essay question) Is amalgam safe to use in dentistry?
What impressed you positively?
Students and staff were very friendly, how many students liked Ann Arbor, pre-docs can get grant money for research, interdisciplinary curriculum, brand new pre-clinical lab with whip-mixes for impressions, and the many resources (the dental library subscribes to every dental journal in the US and many international ones too).
What impressed you negatively?
It's university policy that if you apply as a non-resident, you remain a non-resident for the 4 years in dental school.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
There are some scary interview reviews for this school. However, most applicants (including myself) and past students had non-stressful experiences, so don't be too nervous. The 1 hour allotted for lunch, the interviewer has to interview 3-4 applicants. There is a short essay, but that's the most stressful part of the day.
