Interview feedback. Mock interview with a friend. Voice record mock interview system through career center

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.

What are your general comments?

Good school for clinical medicine but not as big on research. Auditoriums are more outdated as are other facilities. But still its ok cuz the school is decent for clinical training.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing. It seems to be under control. Friendly staff. But uses paper mail for interview information still. But that's their choice. it was still efficient.
