How did you prepare for the interview?

Reread AMCAS, secondary apps; reviewed U of M website.

The students who gave the tour were extremely friendly and engaging. Also, the histology and other lab facilities are brand-new and state-of-the-art.

What impressed you negatively?

The financial aid presentation wasn't particularly informative.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

Overall, a good experience. The U of M med school seems very laid-back with little competition (gunners may consider going elsewhere). Be prepared to find your interviewer's office in the maze of buildings--you get no escort.
