My interview at UM was the most extensive of all of the interviews I've done so far. There were two one-on-one interviews, one 45 minute with a faculty and one 30 minute with a medical student. After that there were six MMI stations. All of the interviewing occurred in the morning, and in the afternoon we got a tour and split into smaller groups to do fun med student activities. I thought the current students were a little lack-luster.

That there would be a teamwork MMI. How difficult it would be to find the admissions office.
Practice MMI questions. Medical ethics research.
The most well orchestrated (and most fun) interview day I've had
Mock traditional and MMI prep, read amcas
Overall fun day. Treat the MMI with a game mindset then you'll be fine. The traditional interviews are really laid-back so just be yourself!
I'm OOS and interviewed late in December, when they were starting to interview A LOT of in-state applicants. I felt there was an overwhelming number of U-M undergrads/alums on my interview day and they bonded with each other more naturally than with me. I wish I had known what to expect better.
Some of the MMI stations were a little challenging than I thought they would be.
One of my traditional interviews was with an alum. He didn't live in Ann Arbor and literally flew in to just interview me. I was pretty touched by his service to the school. The untour experience was also very fun. And the students were the most enthusiast bunch I've ever met at any school!
Read SDN interview feedback, read my own application, familiarized myself with the MMI format (although there wasn't much I could prepare for the MMI)
To practice MMI format. It felt awkward without having practiced.
We were told at the start of the day that we wouldn't get any weird questions and that it would be conversational but one of my interviewers asked me lots of unusual questions
They put so much time and thought into the interview experience and it really shows
Looking over my primary and secondary apps
Nothing
The Dean's speech at the beginning of the day was very inspiring.
Went through a couple MMI scenarios from the UMich website and reviewed my application.
Love this school.
The MMI style interviews were a little stressful.
Facilities are old, Michigan is cold.
