What was the most interesting question?

What do you think is the biggest difference between Indian politics and American politics? (Don't freak! I had done some research on Indian electoral systems, and my interviewer was Indian, so this made sense.)

What was the most difficult question?

none. Everything was really laid-back.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read a little about healthcare in GA, looked over my app.

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed happy and interested in a broad range of topics. MCG seems to be updating its curriculum to include more PBL and give earlier clinical experience. Some of the facilities (Children's Hosptial, etc.) were really nice and new.

What impressed you negatively?

Augusta is a small and extremely socially/politically conservative town. If that's not your bag, watch out.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

---. I knew a lot about the school...have had a number of friends go there.

What are your general comments?

First of all...my interview date may be wrong. I can't remember when it really was so I guessed. (So don't freak if the date I put is actually a saturday. I really did interview there. This isn't a troll.) Although the interview impressed me positively--by which I mean I liked the school more than I thought it would--it still struck me as a bit smaller and more southern than I'm looking for. I get the feeling that MCG is more about training folks who will go on to be docs in regional hospitals and private practices around the south. Which is great (seriously! don't get me wrong) but it's not exactly the experience I'm looking for. Plus, I grew up in Atlanta and went to school in GA so I think I'm ready to live somewhere new. Seeing MCG confirmed that for me. But the people there were so nice I actually felt really bad that I wasn't more interested in the school.
