How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Deep breathing, talking incessantly about myself with friends and family.

What impressed you positively?

Strength of the clinical training; Grady Memorial Hospital (enormous public facility serving indigent populations); Egleston Children's Hospital (beautiful tertiary care center); first- and second-year students were eager to talk to us, despite ongoing final exams; terrific athletic facilities and performing arts center with grand piano practice rooms

What impressed you negatively?

Few good restaurants/bars within walking distance of campus; limited public transportation

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you interview falls during school exams or vacations, you may not be able to stay with a student host.

What are your general comments?

Two one-on-one 30-minute interviews (one of which dealt almost exclusively with a discussion of my college town), one three-on-three panel interview (which is not interactive, really; mostly you just need to listen attentively when the other two interviewees are speaking and try to give original answers)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
