How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over PS and Emory web site. Talked to overnight host.

What impressed you positively?

Medical school building and facilities -- attitudes of current students.

What impressed you negatively?

Missing the bus to Grady.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Length of the day -- it's a doozy.

What are your general comments?

Dress in comfortable shoes & relax. Interview day is lengthy but the admissions staff is very accommodating -- they do everything to put you at ease and make it as enjoyable as possible. Grady is an excellent resource as a teaching hospital. Talk to students when they come by the office throughout the day for some interesting perspective. Don't sweat the panel interview style -- can lend itself to awkwardness but isn't something to dread at all. One-on-one was a casual conversation.
