Michigan / Interview
The Michigan interview
No admissions interview. Here is how it works and how to prepare.
No admissions interview
No interviews offered. Michigan does not conduct admissions interviews for undergraduate applicants.
How to prepare for Michigan
- Submit Early Action by November 1 , Michigan's EA is non-binding and non-restrictive, and EA applicants are reviewed in a stronger pool before spaces fill.
- Use the two required essays (300 and 550 words) to show concrete fit with your specific program or school within Michigan, not just generic praise for the university.
- Campus visits, info sessions, and virtual events are logged but carry no formal weight , focus your energy on the application itself rather than demonstrated interest.
- Out-of-state admit rates are significantly lower than the overall 18% figure, so out-of-state applicants should treat Michigan as a reach and apply with a well-rounded list.
Practice before the real thing
Rehearse real admissions-interview questions and get an honest read on your answers, what an interviewer hears, where you sound generic, and what to sharpen. We coach you; we never script you.
