What impressed you positively?
Strong clinical facilities, cultural life. multiple busy hospitals in the area around the school. VA hospital, children's hospital, few others. Close to Ann arbor where the more well known UMich is. Nice and friendly admissions staff and interviewer and tour guides. All people I met were friendly. even the interviewees were friendly and cool. most of them were out of staters like me from cali and new york and elsewhere.
What impressed you negatively?
Kinda old and dingy after seeing UCF's state of the art newer facilities. weren't able to see any of the study rooms or go inside gross anat labs like at UCF and see a lot of things on the tour that we were able to see in more depth at UCF. But on the bright side they offered to let me sit in on a lecture to see how class is there. I felt too awkward to do it but went down to the library instead and chilled there before my interview.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
nothing really. kinda was prepared due to people who interviewed before me telling me about hwo it was.
