What are your general comments?

"When I got to the Admission's Office, there were a few med students there. They weren't part of the tour. They just wanted free coffee & donuts, but they still were very helpful. They talked about their experiences at UM. Then we had a couple of talks, then the interview. My interviewer was really nice. He made me talk about my entire life during the interview, as in starting with where I was born. Then we talked about pre-high school, high school, then college. You should probably read over your AMCAS app. Then he talked about UM and what he liked about it. Then a few of us went on a tour. We walked around the campus, saw the ER and trauma units at Jackson, & went through the Wellness Center (which is beautiful). We then had lunch with a bunch of med students. They were really helpful. Then we got a financial aid talk and were told what happens to our app when we leave. It was nice, because they gave us an exact date. I was really impressed overall" Report Response
