What are your general comments?

i'm also a current student who mostly agrees with the previous evaluation. be sure to ask about grading policies and grade distributions during the 3rd and 4th years at this school as well as other schools. if 3rd and 4th years don't tell you the ugly truth about getting honors, then i wouldn't trust anything those students have to say (some of the 1st & 2nd years may just be ignorant of it). applicants seem to get hung up on rankings and 1st & 2nd year grades, but neglect to drill the schools on their clinical grades. michigan has grade-deflation - not a good thing for residency placement. very few receive anything above "pass." the faculty / administration tells you with >>pride<< toward the end of the 2nd year that a clinical grade of "pass" is considered an honor and that they reserve "honors" for only the most extraordinarily spectacular students. i guarantee that residency directors don't have the same opinion on this matter when they have the luxury of considering many candidates with transcripts full of honors. while michigan may still place some great students in great residency spots, it's mostly because those great students worked themselves to death to get top clinical grades and very, very high board scores. med school is hard enough without also having to work against your school's own policies.
