<p>Since getting my acceptance letter on June 17, Michigan has opened many doors for me personally, professionally, academically and culturally. I’ve had a chance to research with the department of psychiatry at the Veterans Affairs Hospital, I have traveled abroad to do research, I have performed on national television with a dance group that I am apart of, I’ve made long lasting friendships, I have been on the executive boards of a couple of organizations, while maintaining good grades and now I have been given the opportunity to shadow a cardiac surgeon at UMHS. As a premed and African American student, I couldn’t have asked for more. Now that I’m entering my final and most important year before I apply to medical school, I must say that Michigan has been worth the OOS cost. These past two years, though filled with ups and downs, have been the best two years of my life. I can say with pride that I go to a school like Michigan! I have to thank the people on CC for giving me advice and motivation, especially Alexandre and Blackpen!</p>
<p>Thanks Entertainer!
It’s great that you have really enjoyed your experience. Keep us updated as the medical school application process rolls around.</p>
<p>So glad to hear how well you’ve done with all the opportunities available at U Michigan!!! I agree, every penny of the OOS tuition has been worth it for my D, too.</p>
<p>You won’t recognize my current username, but I posted here a lot when you were applying and we talked a few times. I am SO, SO glad to hear you are doing well. I thought about you from time to time, wondering if Michigan was all you had hoped it would be. Keep up the great work. :)</p>
<p>This is a really uplifting thread. I’m glad Michigan is working for you.</p>
<p>I am happy to hear you had a good experience at Michigan Entertainer. I firmly believe that Michigan provides students with the most well-balanced undergraduate experience. It seems like you made the most of your time on campus.</p>
<p>As an incoming member of the '15 class, I hope my d will have a similar post in 4 years.</p>
<p>I am sure she will MichorPlan.</p>
