What should I ask during a University of Michigan interview?

I'm super excited because I've got an interview with the University of Michigan. Does anyone know what specific questions might be good to ask to impress them during the interview?

First off, congratulations on securing an interview at the University of Michigan! It's a great opportunity to not only show your interest in the school but also to learn more about the university or specific program you're applying to.

You could consider asking specific questions related to your area of interest. For example, if you're interested in engineering, you might ask about the resources and opportunities available for undergraduate research in that department. You could ask about the societal impact of recent research done by the faculty in that department.

If there's a particular club or extracurricular activity you're interested in, let's say debate team or a specific sport, you could ask about how the school supports these activities.

Questions about campus culture can reveal a lot about the daily life at UMich. You could ask: "How would you describe the typical student's sense of school spirit?" or "What does a typical weekend on campus look like for students?" This shows that you're interested in the full UMich experience, not just the academics.

Finally, asking about the interviewer's personal experience could be another interesting direction to take. You might ask: "What did you love most about your experience at the University of Michigan?" or "Is there something you would have done differently as a student?"

Remember, you're not just trying to impress them — you are also using this opportunity to assess if UMich is a good fit for you. Good luck with your interview!
