How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn feedback, looked over amcas

What impressed you positively?

Nice area of Atlanta, medical school is near undergrad campus, CDC is right next to school which is good for public health types, good clinical experiences at diverse group of hospitals, nice weather.

What impressed you negatively?

A,B,C... grading system. Need to take a shuttle to get to Grady (main teaching hospital), Grady seemed like a factory (good or bad for different people's tastes), panel interview was akward and I don't think it's a good way to look at candidates.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How spread out Atlanta is, and how spread out the medical school is from affiliate hospitals (need to have a car to travel a lot around city).

What are your general comments?

Panel interview was akward. Three faculty sit opposite three students. One question was asked and each person had to answer it when called upon. There were some individual specific questions too. You don't interact with the other interviewees at all though. It feels like an interogation. School is in nice area. It is a nice school but too spread out and don't like grading system.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
