"the faculty was over confident about the school...at my other interviews the school was trying to impress me just as much I was trying to impress them, but at u of m it was more of the concept that we are great and so it was just left up to me to impress them." Report Response
"make sure you get there early otherwise you will not get to sit around the table. It was very nice to be at the table so I had something to write one when we had to write the essay!" Report Response
"The overall interview was verry long. Everything is very drawn out. The day begins by sitting around a conference table where you do an icebreaker. Then different faculty members come to speak to you about the school and program. After that they give you an ethical situation and you have to write a couple of paragraphs about it. (It isnt as bad as it sounds...I thought I did horrible but I still got in...so im not sure how much emphasis is given on that part)! Then we split into two groups and one group went for interviews while the other had lunch and thier tour. After the interviews and tours were completed we all met up in a room and someone came to speak to us about research opportunites. I was incredibly nervous about the interview but it is actually pretty laid back... they do things a lot differently at this interview but dont let that intimidate you!" Report Response
