What are your general comments?

How well or poorly the interviews go is totally dependent on how much the interviewee and the interviewer have in common. Some people will connect and things will go great (as with my second interview, where we only stopped chatting because my interviewer had a meeting to get to), others will struggle to find common ground (like my first interview, which lasted 25 minutes and consisted of rather halting conversation). Still, I felt like both of my interviewers managed to get a sense of what I had to offer the school and my peers.

Interview questions they asked

Were you strong enough in science courses to think that you will be successful here?

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

Are the terms "doctor" and "physician" interchangeable? If not, what is the distinction?

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

How do you forsee managing the conflicts that inevitably occur between career and family?

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interview.

What impressed you positively?

The faculty were obviously interested in participating actively to help their students learn. The facilities are improving and the option of doing third and fourth year rotations at various sites around the state provides a neat opportunity. Also, Augusta has more to offer than one might think.

What impressed you negatively?

While I was surprised by Augusta's cultural offerings, the city still seems run-down and, in some areas, downright dirty.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It was pretty much what I expected. The conversational nature of most interviews might come as a surprise to some.
