"What qualities do I look for in a medical school?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Tell me about your background / about the work that you've been doing. (bit tricky with open files -- how much do you repeat, are you boring them?)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Why medicine? (i'm a non-trad coming from the public health field so it was important to clarify why I would move from a broader impact field to medicine. It's more typical for med students / physicians to want the public health perspective than vice versa) For those non-trads, practice providing a clear response on this question!" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What do you like about U of Michigan? (there was so much!)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What can you say to convince me that you won't struggle in your first year? (My uGPA and MCAT were not stellar despite high grad GPA and lots of experiences). Fair question and fortunately, answered it well! If you know your main weaknesses as a candidate, be very prepared to address that weakness head-on, not make excuses for the past." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"SDN, U of Michigan website, U of Michigan student chats (live) and transcripts (all posted online). Felt like I knew the school and the atmosphere of the school really well." Report Response
"The students, the faculty, the facilities, the admissions team. Fantastic school! The admissions process is extremely transparent and they tell you the # of candidates accepted and give you an exact date of when you will hear a response. Also, the admissions organizes interview days really well. You're always hosted by a number of students." Report Response
"Nothing" Report Response
"I'm glad that I wore comfortable shoes. We walked around the hospitals and the interviews were in different rooms than the lunch, etc. Comfy shoes are a necessity!" Report Response
