10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on health policy and news, gathered information from the school's website, prepared information with the help of AMCAS/secondary, slept well the night before.

What impressed you positively?

The location, the extremely positive attitude of the admissions staff and students, the level of support current students expressed for the school and their classmates, curriculum setup, the variety of hospitals for rotational experience, unbelievable facilities. The M4 who gave my tour was incredibly candid and helpful.

What impressed you negatively?

Grady's technology and information systems seem a bit outdated, but supposedly this issue is being addressed.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview day is as relaxed as you could imagine, given the circumstances.

What are your general comments?

Dr. Schwartz gave a great presentation on the school and was very entertaining. Erica Black (admissions) was helpful throughout the day and will answer lots of off-the-cuff questions you might have. Be sure to take advantage of the M1s and M2s that visit... they can tell you what they think of the student experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Provide something a little more substantial than cookies for munching purposes throughout the day.
