"Give me one positive and one negative thing about the public option that they are currently trying to pass. (This was back in Fall 2010)." Report Response | I was asked this question too

"Do you stay up-to-date with news? How do you get it?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Discussing health reform, because my interviewer strongly disagreed with my answer. I don't know if he wanted to see how I would debate it, or if he just wanted to let me know I was wrong in his mind. Either way, I felt like I was put in a very difficult position. He and I just had different opinions, and I walked out of the interview feeling like my opinion in someway took away from my performance." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Enjoyed Minneapolis and learned a little about the campus, SDN interview feedback, made certain I was up-to-date on health reform, and developed my thoughts and opinions on the matter." Report Response
"The students: both those in my interview group and current students. I felt like they were a pretty chill, laid-back group and got along really well with everyone. I'm way out-of-state, and everyone was really interested in learning about me and my job, life, etc. The curriculum is changing for the better, in that they are becoming more clinically friendly in years 1 and 2. Also, I like the criteria they use to chose students: personal character and experiences are more weighted than MCAT and GPA. Minneapolis seems like a great city, too." Report Response
"-Common complaint: admissions doesn't appear to operate with a normal time frame, and is very very slow compared to other schools. I waited nearly 4 months after my interview to hear anything, despite having been told that I would hear within 6 weeks. I wondered how an admissions committee could even remember me after 4 months. -Those familiar with UofM already know that most of the med school classrooms are underground. I should think it might be kind of depressing if that's how you spend most of your days." Report Response
"Nothing - I did what I set out to do, which was to show everyone who I was and what my goals were." Report Response
"UofM is an awesome school and I congratulate all those who got in. I was bummed that I got wait-listed. I rank it very highly next to the other schools I visited." Report Response
