How did you prepare for the interview?

Stayed overnight with an MS1 and spoke with him about the school.

What impressed you positively?

Happy students, positive remarks from a friend (MS1) about ABCDF grading, new facilities for Class of 2011, energetic Dean of Admissions, Grady Hospital (huge variety of cases, it's in a rough area of Atlanta).

What impressed you negatively?

If I attend, I'll be a guinea pig in a new curriculum (it looks promising, but still...)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they ask you about your personal statement.

What are your general comments?

Stayed over night with an MS1 (highly recommended). Arrived at the school at 7:45am (allow plenty of time to park and walk over to the Administration building). Meeting with Erica, the Associate Director of Admissions (she's awesome). Meeting with the Dean of Admissions (equally awesome, gave out condoms in honor of World AIDS Day). 3-on-3 interview (two faculty, one MS3 or MS4, three applicants; 30 min; surprisingly relaxing and conversational). 1-on-1 interview (faculty member, 30 min). Lunch. Tour of Grady Hospital. Tour of Emory Hospital. Closing comments from Erica. Done around 4:30pm.
