What impressed you positively?

The interviewers and students expressed their awareness that MCG is not as highly ranked as some other regional schools, yet they were still very enthusiastic about MCG for clinical education. Augusta now doesn't seem as discouraging as before the interview. They also have a student hosting program, which means interviewees can stay the night with a student the night before the interview. It's very helpful and informative.

What impressed you negatively?

Augusta and the appearance of the school and hospitals. With the exception of the children's hospital, everything appears old and poor; not very inviting for recruits.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Bring comfortable shoes for the tour!

What are your general comments?

I enjoyed my interview a lot more than I thought I would. Despite the low rankings above, I could actually see myself attending MCG now. I do wish I had brought more comfortable shoes, though. Ladies, no matter how comfortable you think your shoes are, you will be walking A LOT.
