<p>I’m looking at the University of Michigan for my pre medd studies and I know they send a good number of students to top medical schools. But I was wondering about class sizes and the personalization of the education one recieves. Are their undergrad research opportunities? Do professors know the students personally? Is their close relationships with professors? Do students have chances to work at nearby hospitals or anything like that?</p>
<p>ann harbor… really?</p>
<p>Hahhaa she totally put “Habor.”</p>
<p>I think the OP may have English as a second language, though, judging by the grammar of the post…</p>
<p>UM is decent as a premed school, with a lot of opportunities and in-state med schools to apply to. But usually no one spoon-feeds you in college, ESPECIALLY not at UM. If there’s one thing this school does well, it’s distinguishing the OK/decent, good/great, and very best in a large pack.</p>
<p>Seriousness aside, this has got the be one of the funnier post I’ve read. I might also be tempted to say dangerously naive, even for a freshman premed (who and what are motivating you, and for the right or wrong reasons?), but there’s still lots of time, so best of luck.</p>
<p>I don’t know what to make of this post.</p>
<p>I have a serious concussion and I apologize for my grammar mistakes. I’m trying my best here… I just want information on whether or not their are any opportunities to do research and things. Most the schools on my list are much smaller, because they offer more hands-on education and good undergrad research. If you don’t want to help that’s just fine, but there is no need to be mean.</p>
<p>DrRenee, I do not wish to be mean, but since you’ve consistently made the same grammatical mistake over and over again, I am inclined to suspect that you don’t actually know the grammatical rule in play, and that it is not necessarily connected to your concussion (because the rest of your sentences are in tact.)</p>
<p>I am going to tell you the rule so that you can remember – because people WILL judge the intellectual capacity of someone who can otherwise craft a sentence but not distinguish the grammatical variants of “Their/They’re/There”:</p>
<p>THERE is a place
THEIR is possessive when an object/item/phenom is described
THEY’RE is short for THEY ARE </p>
<p>I do not mean to offend; merely to assist you in your online deportment.
Best wishes.</p>
<p>lol im gonna jump on this nazi wagon as well.
Here are some corrections:</p>

<p>Michigan’s one of the worlds best research institutions and you’re wondering how good the research opportunities are? You will definitely have a chance to do research if you’re interested. Have you looked up something like UROP yet? But before you wonder about the professors working closely together with students and personalization, you should wonder if you can make it past the “weeder” classes, like Orgo, none of which are personalized. So many freshmen are pre-med before taking Orgo and undecided after it. Like cocopuhfs said, no one spoon feeds you, especially at Michigan. You’re basically on your own so if you’re looking for some personalized experience with guidance throughout your undergraduate experience, you might want to look elsewhere.</p>
<p>C’mon, guys, a PM would’ve been a tad nicer :P</p>
<p>Thanks Anthony, that answers my question a bit better. I’m not looking for spoon feeding. I’m just want to know if there is research made available with so many undergrads looking for it.</p>
<p>I still can’t fully focus my eyes, light bothers me, as does noise, and my concentration is crap. I’m not even suppose to be using the computer I’m just trying to get ahead on my college search. I know the differences between there, their, and they’re. I got a 31 on the ACT English section. I asked for help on the school not my grammar. Besides the fact that a lot of the threads on here can’t even properly capitalize. Like I said I apolo\gize for my concussion, I didn’t realize that this is what collegeconfidential was about…</p>
<p>First of all, this is the Internet. If you can’t take a little teasing you should get tougher skin (especially if you want to be a doctor of all things). Second, lol at Ann Harbor. Home of the fighting Wolfs at Umic.</p>
<p>Alright, serious answer. I am a grad student here, and I’ve mentored multiple undergrads through research projects. There are both organized programs and unofficial arrangements. If anything, you’re way better off going to a big research university like U of M than a small school that ‘focuses on undergrads’ (i.e. babysits them) if you are serious about research.</p>
<p>The University of Ann Habor has a very prestigious med program. Most students are matriculated into the direct 3 year med program, which awards an MD/PhD and its beauty is that one does not have to take the MCAT. It is graded on a generous curve, with 90% of students receiving an A-. </p>
<p>The Ann Habor night life is also very popular, you can attend hockey games at the Big Shack and basketball games at Grisly Arena. Unfortunately, the Ann Habor Wolfies do not have the endowment to sustain a Div 1-4A rugby team.</p>
<p>Please strongly Ann Habor College for your doctoral career.</p>
<p>Go Wolfies!</p>

<p>I wish I’d see this kind of advice more often in the general forum!</p>
