Tutor insight
Michigan's virtual interview day combines two 30-minute conversations with Admissions Committee members and six 6-minute short-form interviews at interaction stations — prepare concise, structured responses for the short stations (situational judgment, ethical reasoning, collaborative problem-solving) and fuller personal narratives for the longer conversations. As a public school, Michigan residents have a meaningful advantage; however, out-of-state applicants with strong research credentials and MCAT scores above 518 are routinely admitted. Demonstrate genuine enthusiasm for the collaborative culture and research opportunities at Michigan Medicine in your secondary essays.
