✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN interview feedback, read my own application, familiarized myself with the MMI format (although there wasn't much I could prepare for the MMI)

What impressed you positively?

One of my traditional interviews was with an alum. He didn't live in Ann Arbor and literally flew in to just interview me. I was pretty touched by his service to the school. The untour experience was also very fun. And the students were the most enthusiast bunch I've ever met at any school!

What impressed you negatively?

Some of the MMI stations were a little challenging than I thought they would be.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I'm OOS and interviewed late in December, when they were starting to interview A LOT of in-state applicants. I felt there was an overwhelming number of U-M undergrads/alums on my interview day and they bonded with each other more naturally than with me. I wish I had known what to expect better.

What are your general comments?

Overall fun day. Treat the MMI with a game mindset then you'll be fine. The traditional interviews are really laid-back so just be yourself!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
