Things feel personalized, and the students seem , helpful, and enthusiastic." More from this Member | Report Response

"Everyone was incredibly friendly all day. The entire affair was non-stressful. The interviews themselves were just conversations about me and my activities that I had listed on the AMCAS. Nobody grilled me about anything and the staff were very helpful as well. The medical campus is expanding and the university seems to take really good care of its students."

The same could be said of the admissions faculty and the two doctors with whom I interviewed. Also the flexibility of taking quizzes anytime between Friday afternoon and Monday morning is very appealing. Straight P/F classes for 2 years. Med students at U-M have a life outside the classroom."

"Everyone at the school was very nice and the interviewers were laid back. No one tried to make the day stressful. U.

"Everyone was so friendly and the facilities were absolutely amazing" More from this Member | Report Response

"friendly students and overall enthusiasm. opportunities for study abroad. financial aid opps." More from this Member | Report Response

"Students really seemed to like the pass/fail system for the first two years. It eliminates competition, and it hasn't negatively affected the school's pass rate for the Step 1 USMLE. In fact, U of Mich's average score for Step 1 is two standard deviations above the national average, so the students definitely aren't slacking off because of the pass/fail grading. Also, all the lectures are video taped, so you can access them if you missed anything or if you missed a lecture. It allows for lots of flexibility. Finally, during the tour we got to go into an anatomy lab for about 15 minutes and watch the students dissect the posterior leg. It was very cool." More from this Member | Report Response

"Flex time, Students enthusiastic, very well organized, facilities" More from this Member | Report Response

"The location of the admissions office (it's immediately in front of you as you enter the building); the admissions staff (they escort you from the second you enter the building and through out the day so you don't have to worry about getting lost); the friendliness of the interviewers (they were very conversational and easy to befriend)" More from this Member | Report Response

"Everyone seemed very happy with the school and the students appeared to really enjoy going to school there. The interviewers were also down to earth and interested in what you do that is not medically related.

"Great electronic resources" More from this Member | Report Response

"Michigan has state-of-the-art technology, fantastic research and clinical opportunities, and a warm, diverse student body. Ann Arbor is a nice town, and the classes are all P/F for the first two years. (This is a new change made since the MSAR was printed; it used to be just the first year that was P/F.) Merit-based scholarships are awarded to some students. (You don't have to apply for them because you're automatically considered.) The entire hospital is wireless, and you never have to go outside to go from building to building, which is good in Michigan!!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"The caliber of both current and prospective students, that they're ranked #3 by residency directors, the friendliness of all the admissions staff--even the dean, that you're given a free PDA for keeps along w/ 1 yr free subscription to ePocrates, " More from this Member | Report Response

"All of the students were really enthusiastic about the school, the facilities are amazing, great career development oppurtunities early on. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The friendliness of the students and how laid back everyone was. one faculty interviewer specifically pointed out that faculty focus on helping students because they're paid through a salary, not through grants that they need to earn. U Mich apparently introduced "plasticizing" of body parts (the method that creates the figures for Body Works.)" More from this Member | Report Response

"It was obvious that Michigan cared a lot about the students and they all seemed happy and enthusiastic about their education. I like that they intentionally have large (40+) groups of interviewees in at once so that you have a chance to meet a lot of people who might end up as your classmates. Details of the exceptional preparation student's receive during their 3rd year were impressive. The 45 minute interactive presentation on their medical education technology was also impressive. I like the FCE and Medbuddies programs a lot too. The quality of achievement, character, & personality of my fellow interviewees was impressive! " More from this Member | Report Response

"The integration of technology into the curriculum to assit the students with their studies (online recorded lectures, PDAs, online quizes and exams). The facilities were modern. The students seemed extremely happy with their education. The interview day was perfectly structured so the interviews were conducted in the same area and were back to back. By lunch time the admissions stuff was over and the rest of the day was spent with students." More from this Member | Report Response

"Pretty much everything. One of my interviewers stressed that U of M really keeps the "triangle" of research, patient care, and teaching "equilateral." I found this analogy to epitomize the U of M experience." More from this Member | Report Response

"Just how much of an effort is put into making you feel like they are recruiting you personally, the enthusiasm of the students, the desire to excel among the faculty and administrators, the fact that they are 3rd on the Residency Directors Preference List, the flexibility of the schedule, the use of technology" More from this Member | Report Response

"The weekly flex-time quizzes are a very good idea... seems like they would help a lot." More from this Member | Report Response

"How structured the entire day was, the amazing use of technology, the caliber of students being interviewed." More from this Member | Report Response

"Everything about Michigan is wonderful. They make you feel like you will be a part of the medical school community and they will try their hardest to ensure you succeed there. The technology is also top notch. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The facilities were incredible, but not as incredible as the curriculum. I'm a procrastinator, so I think the weekly quizzes with the flex time would really work well for me (and anyone else with a similar problem). The students were all really cool and the learning environment wasn't competitive at all." More from this Member | Report Response

"Everything - the admissions staff is very friendly and I felt like they had taken the time to get to know my application, the facilities are amazing and the new construction should make the health center world-class. My interviewers really knew my app and were genuinely interested in talking to me. They all loved the school and made me really want to go here. The faculty seems very responsive to student feedback. I really like the technology (flex-time quizzes and tests - take them online from Friday 5 PM till Monday 8 AM, PDAs for 3rd years, online clinical skills simulator for practice)" More from this Member | Report Response

The admissions committee who were on top of their game. The current students who were all high caliber students. The other applicants. The school's committment to diversity (not just racially).

"SO MUCH! Everyone is mad friendly, the school has great facilities, the curriculum is flexible, and they seem to treat their students really well--this was all evidenced by everything from the well-equipped student lounge to allowing students to choose anytime between Friday afternoon and Monday morning to take their quizzes and tests. People seemed really down-to-earth and unpretetnious. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The faculty treated me well. I felt as if I was wanted. The campus was beautiful and the school is ranked high. The school funded the visit (MSTP only)." More from this Member | Report Response

"The professional air of interview day at UMich was amazing. UMich holds interviews only once a week, so although the interview group is immense (about 40 people were interviewing with me), UMich is better able to concentrate its resources to make a glossier and more powerful presentation. My interviews were with 2 faculty members and 1 third-year medical student. All three interviewers were engaging, friendly, and obviously interested in my application and in representing me before the admissions committee. Their questions were both challenging and interesting. The rest of interview day was just as good--we got a full introduction to UMich's campus, reputation, and curriculum; a group Q&A with a roomful of friendly current medical students; a full tour--even the financial aid info session was more detailed and helpful than those at other schools I've been to. Perhaps best of all: I received a notice of acceptance to UMich not a week after my interview date. Very, very impressive." More from this Member | Report Response

"Very organized and professional. Technologically advanced. Great school and cool city." More from this Member | Report Response

"Even being an undergrad here, I didn't quite realize how nice the facilities are. The school is ranked in more lists and publications then I have ever heard of, including some VERY impressive ones (Residency Directors Ranking = #2). All the students were really nice, and you really got the feeling that they enjoyed being there- all very low stress. They were all very proud and happy about the fact that the curriculum at UM is very "customizable" to your preferences and lifestyle as a student. Ann Arbor is a great town. The flex-time testing program M1, as well as P/F M1 and possibly M2 are great features. Clinical time starts M1. Lots to be impressed by here." More from this Member | Report Response

"The dedication of UM to its students. The faculty seem available and enthusiastic about teaching. The students seemed like a tight group that was put together to be able to work with each other well. Also, UM's commitment to technology to improve health care and learning the medical sciences. And even though it was cold, windy, and rainy, Ann Arbor was still beautiful. Plus, I saw a great ice hockey game! " More from this Member | Report Response

"This is really a great school. I'm surprised that it doesn't have the same national recognition as some other schools that are ranked lower. Awesome technology integration, weekly quizzes during M1 (great for keeping procrastinators like me in check), organ-based curriculum, Ann Arbor is a great little college town."

"The postive gut feeling that I had as soon as I stepped in the medical school. The friendliness of student body, staff, administration, and faculty members. The uniqueness of their admission process: the fact that at midnight of Oct 15 I found out that I was accepted. They held a chat session prior to my interview, which helped me prepare!"
