"What would make you choose UM over other schools you applied to? (besides acceptance, location).... I didn't really have an answer prepared, since I'm very interested in the school, they wouldn't have to do much to persuade me to pick them." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Read my essays, AMCAS, UM website, relaxed, talked w/family about health care issues" Report Response
"All students and staff were very friendly and laid-back. They had us do our interviews first, so we could relax the rest of the day (for the tour, lunch, etc.). The interviewer was personable, kind, seemed genuinely interested in me as an individual, asked questions relevant to my app, not just 'standard' questions." Report Response
"Not much... I wish they would have talked a bit more about student groups, volunteer and shadowing opportunities. However, those are questions you can ask the student guides directly. Oh, parking is expensive." Report Response
"That the admissions process has changed this year, so they give fewer interviews; also, they have no quota for residents/non-residents... they're considered in the same pool. all this means we had better chances of getting accepted! " Report Response
"Overall, I really liked it. The students seemed non-competitive and laid-back, and they genuinely liked the school. The physician I interviewed had many positive things to say about UM graduates as residents. " Report Response
