How do I set up an interview for the University of Michigan? I'm trying to make sure I cover all my bases in the application process, and I'm not sure if the interview is optional or required.
The University of Michigan does not offer interviews as part of their admission process for first-year students. You can't really schedule one as they are not a component of the application review.
That being said, it's great to hear you're so enthusiastic about the process! You can still demonstrate your interest and gain additional information about the university by attending an information session or college fair, or connecting with the admissions office directly to ask any questions you might have. These steps are also good ways to prepare for your essays or any supplemental questions that may be part of the application where you have to demonstrate understanding and interest in the school.
Remember, at the University of Michigan, they're interested in seeing your academic prowess and dedication to your chosen field of study, your extracurricular engagement, and your potential to contribute to their community, among other qualities. Even without an interview, there are still plenty of ways you can highlight these qualities in your application. Good luck with the process!
