Favorite class you took at Michigan: ANATOMY 403. Although this class was worth every one of its 5 credits, it was so fascinating to learn about the body in this much detail. Since this course is offered through the medical school, it is a great introduction into what you will see and learn about when you are a medical student. It does take quite a bit of time to learn all the material, but I found it to be extremely relevant.

When/How did you study for the MCAT: Took TPR course, studied June through August

When did you take the MCAT: August of the summer before junior year (2017)

What was your pre-med experience: I had a very good experience at Michigan, in no small part due to the many pre-med (and non-pre-med) friends I met along the way. Pre-med courses at this university can be very difficult, but by taking advantage of SLC study groups and generally studying with friends, I was able to form a community and support network to help me through it. In addition, many of the professors for these courses are helpful and easy to talk to, whether you need help with the schoolwork or want to ask for a letter of recommendation.

Recommendations/advice for current students: Michigan has innumerable opportunities, both related to medicine and not – you can volunteer or work at the hospital, partake in all kinds of research, and join various student organizations. As much as you can, take advantage of these. Push yourself to find new activities that you find stimulating and educational, and pursue what you’re passionate about through these experiences. You have an exciting few years ahead of you, so make the most of them!
