Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students were the coolest. My host in particular was a high-energy guy and this is the first school I've interviewed at where we hung out in a bar all night before the second day of interviews. The MD program has alot of cool features, such as quizzes that you can take any time over a weekend, taped lectures, and a fairly inexpensive and detailed student-run note taking service.

What impressed you negatively?

Ann Arbor is a cool town, but it's fairly expensive to live there. You can't really get away from the city, because parking is a huge issue.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known how expensive Ann Arbor really was to be in. I had assumed that since it was so out of the way, alot of students would be buying houses and starting families (this is my goal). However, very few seemed to be doing that.

What are your general comments?

It was ALOT of interviews. A previous feedback said 12 interviews, and while I didn't count mine, that seems about right. They claim that all 12 of these interviews are weighted equally, however the interview with the director was an hour long and I bet that was the most important one. The director is a fairly low-key guy, and I get the impression that he's not a particularly powerful figure, as some MSTP directors are. Their spin on this is that the student becomes a "full member" of the department they join... Ok, fine. There was one student interview for the MSTP program, a whole bunch of researchers that you pick and they try to match you up with, and there was three faculty interviews for the MD program, which were pretty low stress. Two of my MD/PhD interviewers gave me a hard time, but it wasn't that bad and I hear they do this to everyone. It's a good school, the students are awesome (my love to RNAgirl), and I could see myself there next year.
