Interview Day
Interviews at Michigan are a very important part of our Admissions process. We’ve designed the day to give interviewees a variety of opportunities to learn more about us – our approach to medical education, our community, our facilities – and for us to learn as much as possible about them.
Interviewees have three one-on-one interviews with Admissions Committee Members who may include students, faculty and/or alumni. They also have the chance to interact with current students and other applicants, and ask questions out of range of any decision-making committee member.
For more information, watch one of our students talk about her Interview Day experience.
Helpful Interview Do’s and Don’ts

Do NOT:
- Be afraid to discuss your success and most positive traits.
- Disparage or condemn your past experiences.
- Underestimate the effort and determination you have utilized to get to this point.
