💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Explain more about x activity. Describe your research experience. What could be potential problems that you face during at the onset of your medical education?
What do you bring to Michigan?
Why Medicine? Why Michigan? What would you do if you didn't get into medical school this year?

What was the most interesting question?

Did you watch the VP debates last night? What issues of health care are most important to you?

What was the most difficult question?
