Central Michigan University

The program director seems ok, and the two male professors I interviewed with were nice. The female professor was honestly the worst person I encountered on the interview trail. She was dismissive and rude, even after showing up late. I am only speaking to my experience as a female URM. If they have several staff/faculty who are so ready to openly treat you poorly during the interview and show up late on multiple occasions, I have no desire to find out how they treat you during med school.

Two female interviewers (one a professor) showed up late and then acted like they didn't want to hear anything I had to say. One was literally on her phone as I was talking.

It's super low-stress, so don't worry about it too much. They give you three minutes to review the MMI question on your own, which is more time than traditional MMIs, so I usually had a minute to just breathe before seeing the interviewer.

There was no closure. When you finish your last station, it automatically signs you out for the meeting. It felt super weird to leave without saying anything or having a general presentation.

Really easy to use interface. Very kind and personable interviewers. Also easy ton reach admin staff if you have any questions.

The Individual MMI portion seemed to have much more pressure.

A few of the MMI interviewers seemed disinterested in asking follow up questions.

The faculty seemed very chill and funny! Tried to keep things concise and on-time which was appreciated.

The interview process for this school greatly increased my desire to go to CMU. Very warm, welcoming, and seemed like the emphasis they place on the student body being a "family" was very apparent in the way the interviewers interacted with me and other interviewees. Overall very comfortable and inviting.

Nothing.

Very comfortable atmosphere, interviewers genuinely seemed to care about me as an applicant and were very warm in their interactions. Small group interviews made me feel very comfortable and facilitated great conversation with our interviewers and fellow students.

This was a great school with kind funny and helpful staff throughout. This was possibly the least stressful interview I've ever been to in my life.

Just relax, there really is no way to be better prepared for this MMI than to be genuine.

Lack of discussion reguarding research opportunities.

Everyone from the interviewers, to the students, to just other staff members that happened to encounter us were incredibly kinda and welcoming.
