What are your general comments?
I was definitely impressed by this school, more than I had hoped to be. The only doubt I have moving forward is the very high OOS tuition.
They definitely don't try to shock and awe you during the interview day. They're more of a "here is what we are and what we've got - take it or leave it" style, but the interviewer was very nice and the students were very forthcoming. I actually appreciate this, personally...it's a bit more of a 'real' look.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why didn't you apply as economically disadvantaged?
What was the most interesting question?
What pushes your buttons - what kinds of things make you angry?
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read SDN Interview Feedback, that's it.
What was the most difficult question?
Tell me why you would be a good medical student and a good physician.
What impressed you positively?
SO. MANY. HOSPITALS.
Lots of housing right by the med center. Basically, if you live here you will be able to walk to everything that matters for 4 years.
What impressed you negatively?
Detroit's reputation is overblown...but it's not entirely undeserved, either.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
They are very willing to accomodate interview dates. I mentioned some travel logistics issues I had had, and the admissions staff said that they wished I had called and told them because they would have been more than willing to adjust the timing to help me out.
