Hey, I interviewed there, was accepted, and since it's my state school, that's were I'll be next year. I'll try to answer everthing as best I can. Pluses: reputation, solid facilities, lots of research $$ and opportunites if you're interested, curriculum (vertical clinics, externships and rotations), good specialty placement (I have the #s from last year if you don't), I like most of the faculty (I work there so I know a bunch of them), Ann Arbor is a good place to live. Minuses: there's only really 2 I can think of. 1. cost if your out of state. You can forget about getting residency, it doesn't happen. 2. Preclinics. They're old to say the least. They've designed their own simulation clinic that most schools are now going to but the dean has to release $3 mil to pay for it all. They told us at our interview that there's a chance they'll have them ready for next year (read: we won't but we're not going to tell you that), but more likely the year after (I give it a 50/50 chance). But then again, students have been getting by in those preclinics for years (literally) and it hasn't really hurt the school, it's just one of those things that you have to deal with no matter where you go to school. If you have more detailed questions, go ahead and email me.
