"The questions follow your AMCAS application (since the interviewers know nothing about you)- very straightforward factual questions (although it varies among interviewers I hear)." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"MCG interviews are a little different from a lot of schools in the sense that your interviewers take copious notes on everything you say - so it's not exactly conversational, more "businesslike." One of my interviewers asked very biographical questions - ie tell me about your family, extra curriculars, what did you do in the summer, how many times you taken the mcat, etc etc. So I felt like I was just reiterating my AMCAS application. After the interviewer finished asking questions and stopped writing, I had a chance to talk to her/him and it became a more humane conversation. " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Basically you have two interviews - one of those will be with a member of the adcom who will be presenting you, the other with a faculty member who will just write a report. My adcom interviewer was incredibly nice and I was much more relaxed during that interview." Report Response | I was asked this question too

"The lunch is after the tour at 1 pm. The day starts at 8:30. So basically by the time you finally have lunch you are at the point of cannibalism. Eat a BIG breakfast and take snacks so you can enjoy your tour. Also - students practice NG tubes on each other. This is the only medical school that does that as far as I know (I think OSHA disapproves of it). The idea of someone who has no idea what they're doing sticking a tube into my stomach is not the most appealing. " Report Response
"The lunch thing...Also augusta is actually pretty if you go by the river. It's not that bad of a place - a very calm quiet town." Report Response
"It was a good experience. Definitely MCG is a strong school with a really nice children's hospital. Also the admissions office sends you a thank you letter after your interview which is a nice touch. " Report Response
