How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, looked over my AMCAS and secondary, browsed the admissions website, talked to current medical students at UM, talked to faculty and former admissions committee members

What impressed you positively?

The medical students were very friendly and happy, none of them had any complaints about the medical school. Everyone in the admissions office were friendly and approachable. The interviewers all tried to make the experience as low-stress as possible. The simulation lab was pretty cool too.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. After this interview, I REALLY want to go to michigan

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, I felt very prepared for everything that happened on my interview day.

What are your general comments?

This was an awesome experience. I never thought I would refer to an interview day as being fun but it was. Every person did their best to make the applicants feel at ease, so there's no reason to stress out about this interview. Make sure you know what is on your application and make sure you know the answer to the questions "Why medicine" and "why michigan" and as long as you know all of that you will be prepared for the interview. This is absolutely my #1 choice because of how much the interview day impressed me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Keep being awesome
