Interview details

Confirmed

Selected applicants attend an on-campus or virtual interview day. The Kira assessment is a separate required application component and is not presented as the admission interview. official admissions information

Not published

Michigan has not published the complete Fall 2027 interview calendar, duration, activity sequence, interviewer count, question format, scoring weights, format-assignment rules, or exact decision timing.

Who this program may suit

This programme may suit applicants seeking a holistic-review PharmD who can prepare separately for a Kira communication assessment and a later interview day. This is an interpretation of the published programme structure, not an admission prediction. official admissions information

Practice and next step

Record a first response to the linked fair-access scenario. Review whether you identified the competing needs, asked for missing information, applied a consistent principle, and communicated the decision with empathy. Choose one weakness, make one deliberate adjustment, then record a second response and compare it with the first. The linked CASPer Essentials path is optional structure practice; it is not presented as a school requirement.
