3 interviews back to back to back can be a little tiring and the 30 minute limit for each can be a little constraining. But all the interviewers knew my AMCAS very well and most of the questions were based on that.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
If you couldn't practice medicine, what other career would you pursue?
How did you prepare for the interview?
UMich website, this site, reviewed secondary
What was the most difficult question?
Follow-up question to above: what aspect of the alternate career is related to medicine? in what way could the skills from the alternate career be useful in medicine?
What impressed you positively?
This is really a great school. I'm surprised that it doesn't have the same national recognition as some other schools that are ranked lower. Awesome technology integration, weekly quizzes during M1 (great for keeping procrastinators like me in check), organ-based curriculum, Ann Arbor is a great little college town.
What impressed you negatively?
The one weakness is that the patient population is not very diverse in Ann Arbor, but UofM hospital is the major medical center for all of Michigan, so you will see a lot of different types of cases.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Even though it is a state school, it attracts top students from across the country.
Make sure you know how to get to the admissions office beforehand! The campus is very large and is it easy to get lost.
