"The faculty and students were helpful in telling us more about the school and the different resources and programs that they offer."
"School is extremely professional. The admissions office is probably the quickest to respond to any questions/concerns you have. Upon acceptance, you have till May to respond yes or no, most schools have a two week deadline to respond. Also only a 200 dollar desposit. Doesn't break the bank before any loans come in. Also not a lot of instate students. It's about 50-50, and the students swear its worth the out of state tuition to go there."
"The commitment they have towards the profession"
"The organization of the interviewing process."
"The interview process (only 6 students were at the interview). The Asst. Dean randomly sent in a student to talk with me who completed his undergrad at the same institution as I did. I was really touched. All PharmD students are required to complete a research project before graduation. "
"Interviewers were very friendly, there was less pressure than I anticipated"
"Everyone was so nice and friendly, campus was beautiful"
"Even though it was 5 30 minute interviews, everyone was extremely nice and honest. It felt more like a lively conversation."
"N/A"
"The hospital tour was pretty generic and straightforward."
"the extremely cold weather in Michigan. (it's not even snowing yet..)"
"too cold"
"Dean Perry yelled at many of the interviewees for having their schedules on their phones instead of on paper. She also yelled at people for having more than 3 questions prepared. Your interviewers will expect you to ask more than 3 questions!"
"The Dean met with us at the beginning of the interview and was extremely abrassive and beligerent. BE PREPARED with your schedule, a pen and paper and whatever she asked for in the emails she sends or else she will chew you out. I thought it was unnecessary for her to talk to us in this manner and it had a real negative impact on how I viewed the school."
"School is pretty small. The tour couldn't show us the labs because they had classes going on. The tour showed us only three classrooms, which apparently was all there was."
"One of my interviewers seemed very disinterested and admitted to not even reading my application. The packet they give you is underwhelming compared to other schools."
"The student panel afterward was a little vague lacking direction."
"They have a very elitist attitude. "
"nothing"
"Having to speak for 2.5 hours about the same topics over and over again. Also the weather was a lot colder than where I came from."
"Wear better shoes since you do a tour of the hospital"
"Come prepared with more questions! (They take up at least 10 minutes of the interview)"
"Gave myself more time in my schedule to take a tour of campus"
"University of Michigan recently changed their curriculum to be group work more than lecture based studying. University of Michigan is actually REALLY, REALLY BIG. the libraries there are really pretty"
"If I had known how the Dean treats the students, I would not have gone to the school and wasted my time and money."
"How big the campus actually was."
"As expected."
"nothing"
"That I needed to bring a resume with me!"
"To park closer to the building since it was extremely cold."
"Loved the school and interviewers!"
"Great experience, but cold weather."
"University of Michigan COP is a GREAT school overall. I am very impressed by how organized the whole interview process was and how nice the staff and students were."
"nice campus, huge hospital. you should visit the school before the interview."
"Get there early!"
"Questions were very generic. They just wanted to see why you were interested in pharmacy. Michigan is more of a research intensive institution. They even require a research project during the P4 year. During the interview, the faculty moved from class to class, while you stayed in the same room. This was awesome because you had no chance of getting lost. Or rushing to your next interview. Even though it was open file, interview was never gruelling. My grades were never really brought up. It was just a conversation. Two of the faculty took notes, the other two didn't. I felt really comfortable after the interview. Interview was from about 11:30 to 2. Student panel discussion from 2-4. Student panel was a little disorganized, but it was nice. They answered all of our questions. The interview process is apparently new to UMich but overall, I think it was great. Most importantly they will notify you of their decision in just two or three business days. NO SCHOOL DOES THAT?!!?"
"Was an interesting experience. Had fun having drinks and pizza with the student panel at the end of the day."
"I was really impressed with the structure of their program. "
"Practice ahead of time--the questions weren't too tough, but it helped that I had rehearsed before hand. "
"Even though it was stressful to speak for such a long with so many individuals, the overall day went fairly smooth. a bunch of students at the end talked to us about any questions we had about the program and even showed us on our way to Zingermans to eat dinner."

"N/A"
"While it was nice to sit in on a P1 class I would have much rather had a tour of the campus: libraries, grad housing, etc."
"It is great that Dean Perry is so responsive to emails. However; her emails are convoluted. I frequently have to ask my colleagues for second opinions to understand her emails, and my colleagues agree that the emails are very confusing."
"None, Dean Perry is quite good at what she does"
