How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at their website, read the Bulletin, looked at this site, had a mock interview.

What impressed you positively?

How friendly and laid-back everyone was. The admissions people were joking around with us, and the students were very helpful. Everyone looked like they were genuinely happy to be there and excited about telling us about their school, rather than look like they were just required to be there and give us the party line.

What impressed you negatively?

The parking/traffic flow. I thought Ann Arbor was confusing to drive in, and there really isn't any parking available.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What a great reputation the school has. The are ranked 3rd in the nation by residency programs, and are 7 standard deviations above the national average on the boards.

What are your general comments?

Michigan rocks. We arrived at about 7:30 in the morning (6:30 Central time for me). After a quick presentation by one of the deans, half of the students (myself included) had 3 half-hour interviews while the other half went to a computer lab/technology interactive presentation and a financial aid session. My interviewers were extremely friendly and engaging, and the interviews were conversational and not at all stressful. Then the groups switched, and after everyone was interviewed we had lunch with some med students (M2-M4). They were very helpful and and honestly answered our questions. Then we took a tour of the school and hospital facilities - huge and very nice! I actually had fun at my interview - this was a great experience!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
