to anyone who's already interviewed here - is the MMI portion (and i guess traditional interviews) chill or really hardcore/stressful? just want to know in advance so i can try to prep haha

edit: i know mich is rolling, but would anyone happen to know how much of a disadvantage it is to interview in november instead of september? thanks!

I thought that it was really chill. Everyone at my interview day was talking about how much fun we had with the MMI portion and every one of the interviewers was really kind. Nothing that is meant to trick you or catch you off guard, it was all very straightforward.
 
is there any point in asking the status of my application? fyi mdphd applicant
 
Curious about how the ADCOM reviews applications pre-II. Are LORs reviewed/considered before making the decision to send an II, or are those saved for only the applicants that interview since LORs are so numerous and time consuming to read?

Apparently not. I remember seeing a twitter post that they invited applicants even before they finished their secondary, so I guess they didn't even need the rec letters.
 
Did anybody receive an email saying that they had not signed up for an interview? I got this email, but I didn't get an emailed II and there isn't a tab to schedule on my portal either

Check your spam folder. A lot of important UMich emails somehow ended up there for me.
 
I think from my interview day, we were told that we'd hear back this week. Can anyone confirm this or provide a more exact timeline?

In years past, they've released decisions towards the end of the week - Friday if I'm not mistaken...

edit:

I was mistaken...Congrats all!

Congrats! That sounds about right to me. I know there's a Michigan Flyer bus that isn't too expensive that runs from DTW to Ann Arbor. About 50 min- 1 hr long

You can google it and book tickets online!

Yeah the flyer is a decent option, takes you to the drake stop in AA which is a 10-15 minute walk from campus. One way trip is $12 and a round trip is $22. You can book online and cancel within 48 hours of your trip.

Another good option is find other people who are ubering to AA and splitting it. Fare is usually ~$30-$35 so splitting in between 2/3 people makes it almost the same cost as the flyer without the walk at the end. This requires the social skill of asking strangers to split a ride with you 😉.
 
Anyone know if mich typically gives out waitlists / post II Rs this early? Or is everyone who isnt accepted just deferred?
