QUESTION 15 OF 45

What research did you conduct on our school before choosing to apply to the University of Minnesota Medical School?

The admissions interviewer wants to know which considerations you put in before sending your application to the University of Minnesota Medical School. What they really do not want to hear is that you blindly sent out a million applications, hoping that something would stick. Share with the interviewers the consideration you put into your application.

Some methods of consideration could have been:

- Talking to/interviewing UMMS alumni
- Attending an open house at the University of Minnesota
- Extensive online research
- Researching the most renowned University of Minnesota Medical School graduates
- Meeting with a career counselor and asking for recommendations
- Speaking with a current student in an UMMS program

"I was sure to conduct a great deal of research before applying to University of Minnesota. I started by interviewing some alumni that I know, and I also spoke with a couple of your current students in the medical program. Last year I attended the open house here as well. Your school left a very positive impression on me, which is why I chose to apply here."
